Charles X has been chosen for best relationship with his children. Which French monarch and his grandchild(ren) had the best relationship?

Using the same monarch for multiple categories is allowed. Non biological relatives like step parents can be included.

For those with multiple people that they have relationships with, like children for example, it is ok can focus on only one child if that relationship in particular was the best.

Philip IV and Joan I of Navarre have been chosen for the best relationship between monarch and his wife

Which French monarch had the best relationship with his wife?

Creating another chart because it kinda serves as my motivation to post consistently to this sub tbh lol. Inspired by a r/presidents competition https://www.reddit.com/r/Presidents/comments/1qoy4f5/final_list_any_suggestions_for_changes_or_is_it/ .

Using the same monarch for multiple categories is allowed, feel free to offer suggestions for the blank spaces

Edit: Meant for relationship between individual(s) in particular, so if King is good to one wife but not the other it can still apply, post title will be changed for next time

Day Twelve: Which French monarch represents temperance?

A counterpart chart to the seven deadly sins chart due to community request, using kings from the previous chart are allowed. https://www.reddit.com/r/FrenchMonarchs/comments/1t69wyh/the_completed_community_chart_of_seven_deadly/

Most of these monarchs were violent and selfish medieval warriors, so consider this less who was a "good person" and more so out of these indecent people, who had the most of this positive trait.

Only rule is that no duplicates are allowed, so try to be a little strategic and save a monarch for the category that suits them best, even if they can apply for several.

Louis XVI has been chosen for Humility

Louis IX has been chosen for Charity

Louis VII has been chosen for Chastity

Henry IV has been chosen for Kindness

Francis I

Hello all. I’m thinking of doing a post for my friends on fb about the other 2 of the main players in the reign of Henry VIII - Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and Francis I or France. I want to focus on all aspects. Henry is seen as a tyrant yet in his heart he was a scared man whose father had told him about the Wars of the Roses not long before. His dynasty was just starting. He had the pressure of what happened to Henry I when King Stephen took the throne from Empress Matilda.

Charles V lost his wife he loved and grieved dearly and wore black the rest of his life.

I was wondering if there was such a thing in Francis’ life? We all have things that hurt us, or we stride towards no matter what, due to us needing something in life.

Can anyone help me? I’ve not gotten to him in my hobby only parts when learning about Henry VIII.

TIA

Books on French history during the reign of Louis XIII?

Does anyone happen to know about any good English-language books on this topic? I am very interested in the 1610–1661 period rougly, from Marie de' Medici's regency through Richelieu, Mazarin and the Fronde to early Louis XIV. The reigns of Henry IV and Louis XIV seem to be covered quite well, but Louis XIII and the other major political players of his era not so much.
