Icon Francis I, King (france) : All Data

Francis I was the King of France from 1515 to 1547. During his reign, he faced several significant wars, including the Italian Wars (1494-1559) and the Habsburg-Valois Wars (1521-1544). These conflicts were marked by territorial disputes and power struggles between France and the Habsburg Empire, particularly the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Francis I's reign saw France's involvement in the Battle of Marignano (1515), where he secured a decisive victory against the Swiss Confederation and the Duchy of Milan. Additionally, he engaged in the Battle of Pavia (1525), which resulted in his capture by the Spanish forces led by Charles V. Despite these setbacks, Francis I's reign was characterized by his patronage of the arts and his efforts to centralize and strengthen the French monarchy.
