First published in 1984, Professor Knecht's study quickly established itself as the best short account of the period. The reigns of Francis I and Henry II, spanning the first half of the sixteenth century, are one of the most colourful and formative periods of French history. In addition to examining the nature and effectiveness of their reigns, Professor Knecht also examines their foreign policies which brought them into conflict with other major powers. For this new edition the author has added a new chapter on paatronage and the arts.

French Renaissance Monarchy : Francis I and Henry II (Semina,
By chris taylor (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: French Renaissance Monarchy: Francis I and Henry II (Seminar Studies in History) (Textbook Binding)
Extremely useful for students studying 'A' Level or a degree in history - much of what is said in this book is directly relevant to the course. Knecht is the accepted authority on Francis I and Renaissance France, and he writes in a lucid, easy to understand and sometimes even humourous style.

A satisfying, if brief analysis of 2 absolutist Kings,
By A Customer
This review is from: French Renaissance Monarchy: Francis I and Henry II (Seminar Studies in History) (Textbook Binding)
A good book to read if you are into the absolutist Kings of Medieval France. Not much new information, but does seem to do a good job of comparing the 2 kings to the rise of absolutism in France. It would be better if the author seperated the two kings into two different biographies.
