| | Louis XI of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | By war, by cunning and with sheer guile, Louis XI overcame France's feudal nobles, and at the time of his death in the chateau at Plessis-lez-Tours, he had united France and laid the foundations of a strong monarchy. | | | Louis XI the Giver (French: Louis XI le Donner) (July 3, 1423 – August 30, 1483), also informally nicknamed l'universelle aragne (old French for "universal spider"), was King of France (1461–1483). | | | He was born at Bourges, Cher, during the period when English held northern France and the Dauphin (or "crown prince," his father) held only the centre and south. |

| | Anne of France (1461-1522) was the daughter of Louis XI of France. | | | She argues that Anne modeled her Lessons on guides for princes (and occasionally princesses), including the instructions written by her forebear Louis IX (1214-1270) to his son and daughter and The Rosetree Wars that her father had drawn up for her brother Charles. | | | Although Anne did not initially have the title of regent, she was the de facto ruler of France during the early years of Charles’s reign (1483-1498). |
