Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography for teens of a strong, independent woman of the 15th century. Anne of Brittany was only 12 when, in 1488, she became its Duchess, but already she was among the best-educated women of her era and she was determined to preserve the duchy’s independence. 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. Foreword by Sylvia Louise Engdahl, the author’s daughter. Illustrated with 16th-century portraits. “The life of Anne of Brittany is traced in detail against a vivid background of court life during the Renaissance. . . . Useful to schools for its portrayal of the times, this has enough romance to appeal to girls.”—ALA Booklist

Book Synopsis Queens and Mistresses of Renaissance France by : Kathleen Wellman
Download or read book Queens and Mistresses of Renaissance France written by Kathleen Wellman and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIV This book tells the history of the French Renaissance through the lives of its most prominent queens and mistresses, beginning with Agnès Sorel, the first officially recognized royal mistress in 1444; including Anne of Brittany, Catherine de Medici, Anne Pisseleu, Diane de Poitiers, and Marguerite de Valois, among others; and concluding with Gabrielle d’Estrées, Henry IV’s powerful mistress during the 1590s. Wellman shows that women in both roles—queen and mistress—enjoyed great influence over French politics and culture, not to mention over the powerful men with whom they were involved. The book also addresses the enduring mythology surrounding these women, relating captivating tales that uncover much about Renaissance modes of argument, symbols, and values, as well as our own modern preoccupations. /div

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...".

Book Synopsis Anne of France : Lessons for My Daughter by : Anne (of France)
Download or read book Anne of France : Lessons for My Daughter written by Anne (of France) and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2004 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne of France (1461-1522), daughter of Louis XI and sister of Charles VIII, was one of the most powerful women of the fifteenth century. She was referred to by her contemporaries as Madame la Grande, and remained an active and influential figure in France throughout her life. As the fifteenth century drew to a close, Anne composed a series of enseignements, "lessons", for her daughter Suzanne of Bourbon. These instructions represent a distillation of a lifetime's experience, and are presented through the portrait of an ideal princess, thus preparing her daughter to act both circumspectly and politically. Having steered her own course successfully, Anne offers her daughter advice intended to help her negotiate the difficult passage of a woman in the world of politics. This is the first translation into English of Anne of France's Lessons.
