A lot of people now would say "that's how bad noble men treated women back then", without thinking about the possibilities these men actually had. Louis' decision to unite the Bretagne with France was extremely beneficial for his people. The marriage with the Tudor princess was ridiculous, but enabled her to marry Charles Brandon for love. Another wonderful video. Thanks, Nieke!

Agreed Renias, doesn't take away the fact that to obtain the marriage she wanted, she had to first marry an individual she did not care for, with all the consequences that go along with that. One cannot imagine what these women had to go through.

This is still related to Louis XII, but would you also consider doing a video on Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard? Bayard was considered the epitome of chivalry for the time he lived in and was one of Louis XII's greatest knights. Saw very few videos on Bayard where his story needs to be be known more.

The ruthlessness of Royalty. At least the French had style. He got him to marry his "infertile pigeon toed hunched back daughter" to try to ensure he had no sons and thus would inherit his lands. The Plantagenet Kings in England would have sent their army a day after the battle and killed the winning army to seize power.

Back on a rewatch but I always found the idea of selling one’s inheritance rights bizarre: isn’t the entire point of royalty that they rule by divine right of their bloodline?

Very interesting. Two comments. First, why was the Catholic Church so quick to grant annulments to French royalty, but would not grant one to Henry VIII? Second, the intrigue around French royalty was pretty great at the time, just as it was with English royalty. Therefore, I'm surprised that Shakespeare did not write plays (histories) about the French royals of the time as he did with Henry VIII.

Thanks for watching Paul. I think that Louis XII was lucky to have Alexander VI as the pope, he was quite corrupt and they literally just paid him off. As to Shakespeare, I have no clue. Perhaps he was just not as well aware of French developments as he was of the English ones.

Great job with the video. Henry the VIII had Six wives, Ferdinand the seventh had four wives, Ivan the terrible had wives- Louis the 11th joins the club.
