Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anne of Brittany: The Story of a Duchess and Twice-Crowned Queen Is it a fulfillment of her own prophecy that since she was a Breton and a foreign queen, she would not long be remembered by the French people? The reason then for this volume is plain: to fill a gap in our book shelves on a neglected subject, and to share with others the pleasure and interest of knowing intimately the life story of one of the world's great women.

CHAPTER n THE FATHER OF THE DUCHESS ANNE, THE LAST DUKE OF BRITTANY In our quest for the Duchess Anne we want to know something of her father, Francis II, the last duke of Brittany. He was the son of Richard, count of Etampes, the grandson of John IV, the conqueror, who was the Englishman, John of Montfort. At the age of twenty-three Francis II came to the dukedom, not through his father, but through his uncle, Arthur of Brittany, who had no children. February 3, 1458, with his widowed mother, Marguerite of Orleans, Francis journeyed to Rennes for his coronation. Clad in deep mourning, as was the custom, he entered the city by the Porte Mordelaise, and, on his knees, humbly demanded the keys of the town. The bishop then opened the gate and led the way to the cathedral, where the ceremony was performed. The crown placed upon the head of Francis was a closed one, like that of a king, and not the open circle of the French dukes. At that time Rennes was much smaller than it is to-day, and had narrow, winding streets, with houses almost meeting at the top. We passed under the old arch which the dukes once entered, but the narrow, out-of-the-way street and the arch itself, which we stopped to photograph, is now a tenement for the poor and no longer suggests pomp, power, or splendor. As the duke began his reign two years before that of Louis XI, he saw three sovereigns on the throne of France, --Charles VII, Louis XI, and Charles VIII. About three weeks after he was crowned Francis presented himself before Charles VII, king of France. As the duke did not make obeisance nor take off his arms and girdle, the master of ceremonies said, "Lord of Brittany, you must pay homage to your king and sovereign lord and promise to him faith and loyalty...".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography for teens of a strong, independent woman of the 15th century.

At 15 she averted takeover by France when she married its king, Charles VIII, and after he died she married his successor, Louis XII, becoming the only person ever twice crowned Queen of France.
