The eldest son of King John and Isabella of Angouleme, born October 1, 1207 at Wincester, Henry III was a "pretty little knight" when he was crowned king at the unorthodox age of nine in the midst of tumultuous political rebellion that had been started by his father. Though regent William the Marshall and later justiciar Hugh de Burgh governed in Henry's stead until he officially assumed his post as king at the age of 25, it was soon clear that Henry struggled with his new office and was prone to making poor decisions which infuriated the barons and adversely affected every class of citizen in his kingdom, giving rise to the early beginnings of nationalism being created in rebellion to the King's actions.
Henry granted favors and appointments to foreigners before granting the same to the English nobility, flooding the government with Frenchmen and Italians. The church, unchecked by Henry's weak grasp of rule, expanded itself into a massive European monarchy which used its power to extort large amounts of money from England to finance their extravagant lifestyles both in England and abroad, completely shutting out Henry's laymen from ever being nominated for offices in the church and preventing existing clergymen from advancing their careers.
The barons could not tolerate Henry's ridiculous and costly decisions any longer, and when Henry raised taxes in excess to pay for debts acquired through war with Wales, failed campaigns in France, and building projects for the ever demanding church, the barons stepped forward and demanded immediate reforms across the board, the first of which was the Provisions of Oxford bill, which would place the barons in virtual control of the realm, and Henry would no longer be able to effect any command decisions without the council's knowledge and consent. The bill only lasted a few years before Henry rebelled against it, thus beginning a civil war in 1264. Henry's son, Edward, led the king's forces into battle against the opposition which was commanded by none other than Henry's brother-in-law, Simon de Montfort. In the end, Edward and Henry were defeated and captured, and Montfort suddenly realized he was in control of the government. Unlike Henry, Montfort was an accomplished politician and he wasted no time in undoing the damage of Henry's haphazard reign and winning back the respect of the nobility and people. It was Montfort's negotiations which sowed the seeds of what was later to become Parliament, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons.
Edward escaped capture in 1265 and banded with the Earl of Gloucester, who had stopped supporting Montfort. Together they defeated Montfort at the Battle of Evasham, and Montfort was killed. Henry was released to assume the throne once again, but in truth his son Edward had taken over his father's power as king and ruled vicariously through him until Henry's death in 1272. Henry's reign was a definitive moment in English monarchy, where the king's absolute power was banned, and the rule that was left was restricted by law.
*Henry III was the first Plantagenet to be buried in Westminster Abbey.
*HenryIII's physical characteristics included a drooping left eye ( a medical condition called Ptosis) which covered half his eyelid. Since the condition can be inherited, Henry's son Edward also had the same condition.
*Almost the opposite of his father in character, and a step apart from the Plantagenet image, Henry was cultivated, aesthetic, petulant, kind natured, but weak and ineffectual and a bit high strung and jumpy. "His mind seemed not to stand on a firm basis, for every sudden accident put him into passion."

Galerie de portraits d'Henri III roi de France et roi de Pologne. Prince raffiné et précieux, Henri III était un roi soucieux de son apparence et de sa Majesté. Homme sensible, influençable, susceptible et inconstant, il a laissé une image controversée parmi ses contemporains. Intellectuel aimant la philosophie et l'art de la discussion, il avait pour livre de chevet les Essais de Montaigne. Au lieu de s'exercer au maniement des armes, il s'affairait beaucoup dans son bureau à gouverner son royaume. Il ne correspondait pas à l'image populaire du roi chevalier.
Il a régné sur la France pendant quinze ans.

Henry III (1 October 1207 -- 16 November 1272), also known as Henry of Winchester, was King of England, Lord of Ireland and Duke of Aquitaine from 1216 until his death. The son of King John and Isabella of Angoulême, Henry assumed the throne when he was only nine in the middle of the First Barons' War. Cardinal Guala declared the war against the rebel barons to be a religious crusade and Henry's forces, led by William Marshal, defeated the rebels at the battles of Lincoln and Sandwich in 1217. Henry promised to abide by the Great Charter of 1225, which limited royal power and protected the rights of the major barons. His early rule was dominated first by Hubert de Burgh and then Peter des Roches, who reestablished royal authority after the war. In 1230 the King attempted to reconquer the provinces of France that had once belonged to his father, but the invasion was a debacle. A revolt led by William Marshal's son, Richard, broke out in 1232, ending in a peace settlement negotiated by the Church.
Following the revolt, Henry ruled England personally, rather than governing through senior ministers. He travelled less than previous monarchs, investing heavily in a handful of his favourite palaces and castles. He married Eleanor of Provence, with whom he had five children. Henry was known for his piety, holding lavish religious ceremonies and giving generously to charities; the King was particularly devoted to the figure of Edward the Confessor, whom he adopted as his patron saint. He extracted huge sums of money from the Jews in England, ultimately crippling their ability to do business, and as attitudes towards the Jews hardened, he introduced the Statute of Jewry, attempting to segregate the community. In a fresh attempt to reclaim his family's lands in France, he invaded Poitou in 1242, leading to the disastrous Battle of Taillebourg. After this, Henry relied on diplomacy, cultivating an alliance with Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. Henry supported his brother Richard in his bid to become King of the Romans in 1256, but was unable to place his own son Edmund on the throne of Sicily, despite investing large amounts of money. He planned to go on crusade to the Levant, but was prevented from doing so by rebellions in Gascony.

♦ The Kingdom of France was a state that existed in western Europe for nearly a thousand years and which was a major international power from the 16th century until the advent of the French Republic.
It originated from the Western portion of the Frankish empire, and consolidated significant power and influence over the next thousand years. Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, developed a powerful state and legal theory of absolute monarchy. Eventually, the influences of the French Enlightenment, the growing costs of the American War of Independence that France partially supported, the rise of political awareness and the bourgeois need of political empowerment caused the French Revolution, as the Kingdom gave way to the similarly named constitutional Kingdom of France and then the French First Republic.
♦ "Marche Henri IV," alternatively "Vive Henri IV" or "Vive le roi Henri" is a popular French song celebrating King Henri IV of France. Marche Henri IV was composed around 1590 and refers to the first Bourbon King of France, Henry IV (Henry III of Navarre), who had ended the wars of religion and restored peace to France.
Marche Henri IV was a common leitmotif for French royalty in several 19th century works, such as in Gioachino Rossini's opera Il viaggio a Reims (in the finale, when Charles X is crowned).

Chenonceau, this French chateau spanning the River Cher, is one of the best-known chateaux of the Loire valley, and is the only chateau which is built above a river and connected with each bank by a bridge.
Chenonceaux is moored like a ship in the middle of the rapidly running Cher, a dozen miles or more above where that stream enters the Loire. The general effect is as if the building were set in the midst of the stream and formed a sort of island chateau.
The current chateau was built in 1514 - 1522 on the foundations of an old mill and was later extended to span the river. It took another 50 years to complete the bridge and the chateau wing on the bridge, with an architectural mixture of late Gothic and early Renaissance.
Chenonceau gets 1.3 million annual visitors, second-most popular chateau in France after Versailles.
The chateau has been classified as a Monument historique since 1840 by the French Ministry of Culture.
The original chateau built in the 13th century was torched in 1412 and later rebuilt along with a fortified mill on the site in the 1430s.
That chateau was demolished and an entirely new residence built between 1515 and 1521.
For the next 70 years the chateau changed ownership in a very complicated series of royal events that seem like an exaggerated historical movie, involving a bitter rivalry between a king's mistress and his wife. Let's try and follow this crazy chain of intrigue for a minute.
In 1535 the chateau was seized by King Francis I of France for unpaid debts to the Crown; after Francis' death in 1547, his son, King Henry II offered the chateau as a gift, not to his wife, Catherine de Medici, but to his mistress, Diane de Poitiers, who became fervently attached to the chateau along the river. Henry also gave Diane much more political power while generally ignoring his young wife Catherine for the next decade.
Diane extended the chateau across the river and oversaw the planting of extensive flower and vegetable gardens along with a variety of fruit trees.
After King Henry II died in 1559, his strong-willed widow Catherine de' Medici took revenge and forced Diane out of the chateau, making Chenonceau her own favorite residence. Catherine, who was daughter of Lorenzo the Magnificent in Florence, became one of the most powerful women in 16th century Europe. With Henry, she gave birth to three French kings and two queens, but Catherine herself reigned as de facto queen after her husband passed away, until her death in 1589.
As ruler of France, Catherine spent a fortune on the chateau, eager to outdo the work of her rival, Diane. Catherine extended the grand gallery across the entire river, adding many rooms, a new series of gardens, and throwing spectacular nighttime parties.
And yet this was a turbulent time for the country, which was suffering from religious wars between catholic and protestant that killed many thousands.
Catherine considered an even greater expansion of the chateau, to make it five times larger, but this never happened.
Catherine's son, King Henry III, gave the chateau to his wife, Louise, but then Henry was assassinated eight months later, which put his widow into a state of depression for the remainder of her days, which she spent wandering aimlessly along the chateau's corridors dressed in mourning clothes amidst somber black tapestries stitched with skulls and crossbones.
Then Catherine's son-in-law became King Henri IV and gave Chenonceau to his mistress after paying the debts of Catherine and Louise.
In 1650, Louis XIV was the last king to visit, bringing to an end the regal possession.
in 1720 The Chateau was bought by the Duke of Bourbon who eventually sold off all of the castle's contents, with many of the fine statues ending up at Versailles.
Later in the 1700s it became a gathering place for leaders of the Enlightenment such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
It was spared from destruction during the French Revolution, because "it was essential to travel and commerce, being the only bridge across the river for many miles."
The chateau was sold several more times, finally purchased in 1913 byt the Menier family, which still owns it, and welcomes visitors every day of the year.

France (English 
i/ˈfræns/ FRANSS or /ˈfrɑːns/ FRAHNSS; French: [fʁɑ̃s] (
listen)), officially the French Republic (French: République française [ʁepyblik fʁɑ̃sɛz]), is a unitary semi-presidential republic in Western Europe with several overseas territories and islands located on other continents and in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic oceans. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. It is often referred to as l’Hexagone ("The Hexagon") because of the geometric shape of its territory. It is the largest western European country and it possesses the second-largest exclusive economic zone in the world, covering 11,035,000 km2 (4,260,000 sq mi), just behind that of the United States (11,351,000 km2 / 4,383,000 sq mi).
Over the past 500 years, France has been a major power with strong cultural, economic, military and political influence in Europe and around the world. During the 17th and 18th centuries, France colonised great parts of North America and Southeast Asia; during the 19th and early 20th centuries, France built the second largest colonial empire of the time, including large portions of North, West and Central Africa, Southeast Asia, and many Caribbean and Pacific Islands.

The chateau has been classified as a Monument historique since 1840 by the French Ministry of Culture. The original chateau built in the 13th century was torched in 1412 and later rebuilt along with a fortified mill on the site in the 1430s. That chateau was demolished and an entirely new residence built between 1515 and 1521. For the next 70 years the chateau changed ownership in a very complicated series of royal events that seem like an exaggerated historical movie, involving a bitter rivalry between a king's mistress and his wife. Let's try and follow this crazy chain of intrigue for a minute. In 1535 the chateau was seized by King Francis I of France for unpaid debts to the Crown; after Francis' death in 1547, his son, King Henry II offered the chateau as a gift, not to his wife, Catherine de Medici, but to his mistress, Diane de Poitiers, who became fervently attached to the chateau along the river. Henry also gave Diane much more political power while generally ignoring his young wife Catherine for the next decade. Diane extended the chateau across the river and oversaw the planting of extensive flower and vegetable gardens along with a variety of fruit trees. After King Henry II died in 1559, his strong-willed widow Catherine de' Medici took revenge and forced Diane out of the chateau, making Chenonceau her own favorite residence. Catherine, who was daughter of Lorenzo the Magnificent in Florence, became one of the most powerful women in 16th century Europe. With Henry, she gave birth to three French kings and two queens, but Catherine herself reigned as de facto queen after her husband passed away, until her death in 1589. As ruler of France, Catherine spent a fortune on the chateau, eager to outdo the work of her rival, Diane. Catherine extended the grand gallery across the entire river, adding many rooms, a new series of gardens, and throwing spectacular nighttime parties. And yet this was a turbulent time for the country, which was suffering from religious wars between catholic and protestant that killed many thousands. Catherine considered an even greater expansion of the chateau, to make it five times larger, but this never happened. Catherine's son, King Henry III, gave the chateau to his wife, Louise, but then Henry was assassinated eight months later, which put his widow into a state of depression for the remainder of her days, which she spent wandering aimlessly along the chateau's corridors dressed in mourning clothes amidst somber black tapestries stitched with skulls and crossbones. Then Catherine's son-in-law became King Henri IV and gave Chenonceau to his mistress after paying the debts of Catherine and Louise. In 1650, Louis XIV was the last king to visit, bringing to an end the regal possession. in 1720 The Chateau was bought by the Duke of Bourbon who eventually sold off all of the castle's contents, with many of the fine statues ending up at Versailles. Later in the 1700s it became a gathering place for leaders of the Enlightenment such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It was spared from destruction during the French Revolution, because "it was essential to travel and commerce, being the only bridge across the river for many miles." The chateau was sold several more times, finally purchased in 1913 byt the Menier family, which still owns it, and welcomes visitors every day of the year. -

Discovery Channel - Royal Secrets (1996) "Royal Secrets" is a fascinating chronicle of human nature in power - its vices and virtues, strengths and failings. It is also an original and exciting guide to the huge sweep of European history out of whose bloody struggles for power the great European traditions of democracy, justice and chivalry painfully emerged. The ancient cult of royalty has always fascinated and inspired writers, historians and diarists. Stepping beyond the well-worn paths of history books, these half hour films will use little-known anecdotal stories to bring the personalities of those distant figures vividly to life. Part 1: Assassins Good King Wenceslas unfortunately had a wicked brother. The ingenious killers of England's Edward II left no trace of foul play -- except his screams. France's Henry IV survived nineteen assassins--until he went for a fateful ride. Part 2: Impostors Britons believed Richard III had murdered his two nephews in the Tower of London, until one of them came back to life. The son of Ivan the Terrible took power after his father's death, or was the son dead too? Denmark was once ruled by an ordinary German doctor who slept his way to power. Part 3: Dynasty Sometimes keeping power is harder than getting it. The Normans triumphed on the battlefield but were undone by Mother Nature. The Hapsburgs decided to keep power in the family, and the decision proved their undoing. The Medicis lived, and died, under the spell of a curse. Part 4: Law and Disorder In trying to bring justice to England, Henry II brought about one of history's most infamous murders. Henry VII dusted off an outdated law and ate his way to power. Writing two laws a day, Joseph II of Austria failed to please most of his people most of the time, and brought his empire to the brink of revolution. Part 5: Glory Elizabeth I ushered in England's age of glory, yet sacrificed herself in the bargain. Louis XIV gave Europe its most glorious palace, yet it was really a monument to fear. England's Edward I earned his glory the hard way, on the battlefield, by hammering the Scots and ringing Wales with castles. Part 6: Murderers Ivan the Terrible killed more people than any monarch in history -- hundreds with his own hands, and enjoyed it. The most famous murder mystery stars a real king: Macbeth. Also: the fatal insanity of Erik XIV of Sweden. Part 7: Sorcery The reign of Louis XIV, France's Sun King, was clouded by black magic. The Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II believed he was possessed by the devil, and resorted to sorcery to exorcise him. The sister-in-law of England's Henry VI tried to destroy him with witchcraft, and nearly succeeded. Part 8: Warmongers Richard the Lionheart of England went down in legend as a kind king and a great warrior. In fact, he taxed his countrymen to the hilt, got himself captured, and taxed them again to pay his ransom. Frederick the Great proved so brilliant on the battlefield that his tactics are still studied today. Part 9: Bizarre When the love of his life died, Henry III of France went on a binge of free spending, cross-dressing, and self-flagellation, until he got himself killed. Peter the Great dragged Russia out of the Dark Ages yet had his own dark side: he collected freaks of nature, and took a personal interest in torture. Part 10: Folly When monarchs erred, they erred on a grand scale. Queen Adelaide of Sicily married a cad and was conned out of her wealth dowry: Charles VI of Austria not only bankrupted his nation, he left it defenseless. James IV of Scotland fell under the spell of a drunken quack. Part 11: Lust A royal affair could be a dangerous liaison. Anne Boleyn flirted with Henry VIII and lost her head. England's Princess Caroline had flings on the side, like her husband, George IV, but fell victim to double standards. France's Louis XV was the lustiest monarch in history, and paid for it with his life. Part 12: Kiss of Death An affair with a queen could be an affair to remember, if you survived. France's Marguerite of Valois was like a black widow, because her lovers later died suddenly. Catherine the Great of Russia used her lover to help win her throne, then tossed him aside.

Though regent William the Marshall and later justiciar Hugh de Burgh governed in Henry's stead until he officially assumed his post as king at the age of 25, it was soon clear that Henry struggled with his new office and was prone to making poor decisions which infuriated the barons and adversely affected every class of citizen in his kingdom, giving ... -

Henri III (1574-1589) - Galerie de portraits
Galerie de portraits d'Henri III roi de France et roi de Pologne. Prince raffiné et précieux, Henri III était un roi soucieux de son apparence et de sa Majesté. Homme sensible, influençable, susceptible et inconstant, il a laissé une image controversée parmi ses contemporains. Intellectuel aimant la philosophie et l'art de la discussion, il avait pour livre de chevet les Essais de Montaigne. Au lieu de s'exercer au maniement des armes, il s'affairait beaucoup dans son bureau à gouverner son royaume. Il ne correspondait pas à l'image populaire du roi chevalier. Il a régné sur la France pendant quinze ans. La galerie de portraits du roi : http://derniersvalois.canalblog.com/archives/henri_iii/p0-0.html -

Henry III of England
Henry III (1 October 1207 -- 16 November 1272), also known as Henry of Winchester, was King of England, Lord of Ireland and Duke of Aquitaine from 1216 until his death. The son of King John and Isabella of Angoulême, Henry assumed the throne when he was only nine in the middle of the First Barons' War. Cardinal Guala declared the war against the rebel barons to be a religious crusade and Henry's forces, led by William Marshal, defeated the rebels at the battles of Lincoln and Sandwich in 1217. Henry promised to abide by the Great Charter of 1225, which limited royal power and protected the rights of the major barons. His early rule was dominated first by Hubert de Burgh and then Peter des Roches, who reestablished royal authority after the war. In 1230 the King attempted to reconquer the p... -
Royal Anthem of France (Tchaikovsky) — London Symphony Orchestra & André Previn
♦ The Kingdom of France was a state that existed in western Europe for nearly a thousand years and which was a major international power from the 16th century until the advent of the French Republic. It originated from the Western portion of the Frankish empire, and consolidated significant power and influence over the next thousand years. Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, developed a powerful state and legal theory of absolute monarchy. Eventually, the influences of the French Enlightenment, the growing costs of the American War of Independence that France partially supported, the rise of political awareness and the bourgeois need of political empowerment caused the French Revolution, as the Kingdom gave way to the similarly named constitutional Kingdom of France and then the French ... -

Chenonceau Château, Loire, France travel video
Chenonceau, this French chateau spanning the River Cher, is one of the best-known chateaux of the Loire valley, and is the only chateau which is built above a river and connected with each bank by a bridge. Chenonceaux is moored like a ship in the middle of the rapidly running Cher, a dozen miles or more above where that stream enters the Loire. The general effect is as if the building were set in the midst of the stream and formed a sort of island chateau. The current chateau was built in 1514 - 1522 on the foundations of an old mill and was later extended to span the river. It took another 50 years to complete the bridge and the chateau wing on the bridge, with an architectural mixture of late Gothic and early Renaissance. Chenonceau gets 1.3 million annual visitors, second-most popular... -
Royal Secrets E02 Impostors - Discovery Channel
Discovery Channel - Royal Secrets (1996) "Royal Secrets" is a fascinating chronicle of human nature in power - its vices and virtues, strengths and failings.

The ancient cult of royalty has always fascinated and inspired writers, historians and diarists. Stepping beyond the well-worn paths of history books, these half hour films will use little-known anecdotal stories to bring the personalities of those distant figures vividly to life.

Shot just south of Paris, France in Linas at l'Autodrome de Linas --Montlhéry, this 1.58 mile oval track, built in 1924, features banks as steep as 51 degrees, which is more than double the standard incline of most NASCAR ovals. Chosen by Ken for this specific reason, the ramp-like banking proved to be a unique and exciting challenge.

The French Revolution: Crash Course World History #29
In which John Green examines the French Revolution, and gets into how and why it differed from the American Revolution. Was it the serial authoritarian regimes? The guillotine? The Reign of Terror? All of this and more contributed to the French Revolution not being quite as revolutionary as it could have been. France endured multiple constitutions, the heads of heads of state literally rolled, and then they ended up with a megalomaniacal little emperor by the name of Napoleon.

The eldest son of King John and Isabella of Angouleme, born October 1, 1207 at Wincester, Henry III was a "pretty little knight" when he was crowned king at the unorthodox age of nine in the midst of tumultuous political rebellion that had been started by his father. Though regent William the Marshall and later justiciar Hugh de Burgh governed in Henry's stead until he officially assumed his post as king at the age of 25, it was soon clear that Henry struggled with his new office and was prone to making poor decisions which infuriated the barons and adversely affected every class of citizen in his kingdom, giving rise to the early beginnings of nationalism being created in rebellion to the King's actions.
Henry granted favors and appointments to foreigners before granting the same to the English nobility, flooding the government with Frenchmen and Italians. The church, unchecked by Henry's weak grasp of rule, expanded itself into a massive European monarchy which used its power to extort large amounts of money from England to finance their extravagant lifestyles both in England and abroad, completely shutting out Henry's laymen from ever being nominated for offices in the church and preventing existing clergymen from advancing their careers.
The barons could not tolerate Henry's ridiculous and costly decisions any longer, and when Henry raised taxes in excess to pay for debts acquired through war with Wales, failed campaigns in France, and building projects for the ever demanding church, the barons stepped forward and demanded immediate reforms across the board, the first of which was the Provisions of Oxford bill, which would place the barons in virtual control of the realm, and Henry would no longer be able to effect any command decisions without the council's knowledge and consent. The bill only lasted a few years before Henry rebelled against it, thus beginning a civil war in 1264. Henry's son, Edward, led the king's forces into battle against the opposition which was commanded by none other than Henry's brother-in-law, Simon de Montfort. In the end, Edward and Henry were defeated and captured, and Montfort suddenly realized he was in control of the government. Unlike Henry, Montfort was an accomplished politician and he wasted no time in undoing the damage of Henry's haphazard reign and winning back the respect of the nobility and people. It was Montfort's negotiations which sowed the seeds of what was later to become Parliament, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons.
Edward escaped capture in 1265 and banded with the Earl of Gloucester, who had stopped supporting Montfort. Together they defeated Montfort at the Battle of Evasham, and Montfort was killed. Henry was released to assume the throne once again, but in truth his son Edward had taken over his father's power as king and ruled vicariously through him until Henry's death in 1272. Henry's reign was a definitive moment in English monarchy, where the king's absolute power was banned, and the rule that was left was restricted by law.
*Henry III was the first Plantagenet to be buried in Westminster Abbey.
*HenryIII's physical characteristics included a drooping left eye ( a medical condition called Ptosis) which covered half his eyelid. Since the condition can be inherited, Henry's son Edward also had the same condition.
*Almost the opposite of his father in character, and a step apart from the Plantagenet image, Henry was cultivated, aesthetic, petulant, kind natured, but weak and ineffectual and a bit high strung and jumpy. "His mind seemed not to stand on a firm basis, for every sudden accident put him into passion."

Henry III (1 October 1207 -- 16 November 1272), also known as Henry of Winchester, was King of England, Lord of Ireland and Duke of Aquitaine from 1216 until his death. The son of King John and Isabella of Angoulême, Henry assumed the throne when he was only nine in the middle of the First Barons' War. Cardinal Guala declared the war against the rebel barons to be a religious crusade and Henry's forces, led by William Marshal, defeated the rebels at the battles of Lincoln and Sandwich in 1217. Henry promised to abide by the Great Charter of 1225, which limited royal power and protected the rights of the major barons. His early rule was dominated first by Hubert de Burgh and then Peter des Roches, who reestablished royal authority after the war. In 1230 the King attempted to reconquer the provinces of France that had once belonged to his father, but the invasion was a debacle. A revolt led by William Marshal's son, Richard, broke out in 1232, ending in a peace settlement negotiated by the Church.
Following the revolt, Henry ruled England personally, rather than governing through senior ministers. He travelled less than previous monarchs, investing heavily in a handful of his favourite palaces and castles. He married Eleanor of Provence, with whom he had five children. Henry was known for his piety, holding lavish religious ceremonies and giving generously to charities; the King was particularly devoted to the figure of Edward the Confessor, whom he adopted as his patron saint. He extracted huge sums of money from the Jews in England, ultimately crippling their ability to do business, and as attitudes towards the Jews hardened, he introduced the Statute of Jewry, attempting to segregate the community. In a fresh attempt to reclaim his family's lands in France, he invaded Poitou in 1242, leading to the disastrous Battle of Taillebourg. After this, Henry relied on diplomacy, cultivating an alliance with Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. Henry supported his brother Richard in his bid to become King of the Romans in 1256, but was unable to place his own son Edmund on the throne of Sicily, despite investing large amounts of money. He planned to go on crusade to the Levant, but was prevented from doing so by rebellions in Gascony.

♦ The Kingdom of France was a state that existed in western Europe for nearly a thousand years and which was a major international power from the 16th century until the advent of the French Republic.
It originated from the Western portion of the Frankish empire, and consolidated significant power and influence over the next thousand years. Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, developed a powerful state and legal theory of absolute monarchy. Eventually, the influences of the French Enlightenment, the growing costs of the American War of Independence that France partially supported, the rise of political awareness and the bourgeois need of political empowerment caused the French Revolution, as the Kingdom gave way to the similarly named constitutional Kingdom of France and then the French First Republic.
♦ "Marche Henri IV," alternatively "Vive Henri IV" or "Vive le roi Henri" is a popular French song celebrating King Henri IV of France. Marche Henri IV was composed around 1590 and refers to the first Bourbon King of France, Henry IV (Henry III of Navarre), who had ended the wars of religion and restored peace to France.
Marche Henri IV was a common leitmotif for French royalty in several 19th century works, such as in Gioachino Rossini's opera Il viaggio a Reims (in the finale, when Charles X is crowned).

Chenonceau, this French chateau spanning the River Cher, is one of the best-known chateaux of the Loire valley, and is the only chateau which is built above a river and connected with each bank by a bridge.
Chenonceaux is moored like a ship in the middle of the rapidly running Cher, a dozen miles or more above where that stream enters the Loire. The general effect is as if the building were set in the midst of the stream and formed a sort of island chateau.
The current chateau was built in 1514 - 1522 on the foundations of an old mill and was later extended to span the river. It took another 50 years to complete the bridge and the chateau wing on the bridge, with an architectural mixture of late Gothic and early Renaissance.
Chenonceau gets 1.3 million annual visitors, second-most popular chateau in France after Versailles.
The chateau has been classified as a Monument historique since 1840 by the French Ministry of Culture.
The original chateau built in the 13th century was torched in 1412 and later rebuilt along with a fortified mill on the site in the 1430s.
That chateau was demolished and an entirely new residence built between 1515 and 1521.
For the next 70 years the chateau changed ownership in a very complicated series of royal events that seem like an exaggerated historical movie, involving a bitter rivalry between a king's mistress and his wife. Let's try and follow this crazy chain of intrigue for a minute.
In 1535 the chateau was seized by King Francis I of France for unpaid debts to the Crown; after Francis' death in 1547, his son, King Henry II offered the chateau as a gift, not to his wife, Catherine de Medici, but to his mistress, Diane de Poitiers, who became fervently attached to the chateau along the river. Henry also gave Diane much more political power while generally ignoring his young wife Catherine for the next decade.
Diane extended the chateau across the river and oversaw the planting of extensive flower and vegetable gardens along with a variety of fruit trees.
After King Henry II died in 1559, his strong-willed widow Catherine de' Medici took revenge and forced Diane out of the chateau, making Chenonceau her own favorite residence. Catherine, who was daughter of Lorenzo the Magnificent in Florence, became one of the most powerful women in 16th century Europe. With Henry, she gave birth to three French kings and two queens, but Catherine herself reigned as de facto queen after her husband passed away, until her death in 1589.
As ruler of France, Catherine spent a fortune on the chateau, eager to outdo the work of her rival, Diane. Catherine extended the grand gallery across the entire river, adding many rooms, a new series of gardens, and throwing spectacular nighttime parties.
And yet this was a turbulent time for the country, which was suffering from religious wars between catholic and protestant that killed many thousands.
Catherine considered an even greater expansion of the chateau, to make it five times larger, but this never happened.
Catherine's son, King Henry III, gave the chateau to his wife, Louise, but then Henry was assassinated eight months later, which put his widow into a state of depression for the remainder of her days, which she spent wandering aimlessly along the chateau's corridors dressed in mourning clothes amidst somber black tapestries stitched with skulls and crossbones.
Then Catherine's son-in-law became King Henri IV and gave Chenonceau to his mistress after paying the debts of Catherine and Louise.
In 1650, Louis XIV was the last king to visit, bringing to an end the regal possession.
in 1720 The Chateau was bought by the Duke of Bourbon who eventually sold off all of the castle's contents, with many of the fine statues ending up at Versailles.
Later in the 1700s it became a gathering place for leaders of the Enlightenment such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
It was spared from destruction during the French Revolution, because "it was essential to travel and commerce, being the only bridge across the river for many miles."
The chateau was sold several more times, finally purchased in 1913 byt the Menier family, which still owns it, and welcomes visitors every day of the year.

The original chateau built in the 13th century was torched in 1412 and later rebuilt along with a fortified mill on the site in the 1430s.
That chateau was demolished and an entirely new residence built between 1515 and 1521.
For the next 70 years the chateau changed ownership in a very complicated series of royal events that seem like an exaggerated historical movie, involving a bitter rivalry between a king's mistress and his wife. Let's try and follow this crazy chain of intrigue for a minute.
In 1535 the chateau was seized by King Francis I of France for unpaid debts to the Crown; after Francis' death in 1547, his son, King Henry II offered the chateau as a gift, not to his wife, Catherine de Medici, but to his mistress, Diane de Poitiers, who became fervently attached to the chateau along the river. Henry also gave Diane much more political power while generally ignoring his young wife Catherine for the next decade.
Diane extended the chateau across the river and oversaw the planting of extensive flower and vegetable gardens along with a variety of fruit trees.
After King Henry II died in 1559, his strong-willed widow Catherine de' Medici took revenge and forced Diane out of the chateau, making Chenonceau her own favorite residence. Catherine, who was daughter of Lorenzo the Magnificent in Florence, became one of the most powerful women in 16th century Europe. With Henry, she gave birth to three French kings and two queens, but Catherine herself reigned as de facto queen after her husband passed away, until her death in 1589.
As ruler of France, Catherine spent a fortune on the chateau, eager to outdo the work of her rival, Diane. Catherine extended the grand gallery across the entire river, adding many rooms, a new series of gardens, and throwing spectacular nighttime parties.
And yet this was a turbulent time for the country, which was suffering from religious wars between catholic and protestant that killed many thousands.
Catherine considered an even greater expansion of the chateau, to make it five times larger, but this never happened.
Catherine's son, King Henry III, gave the chateau to his wife, Louise, but then Henry was assassinated eight months later, which put his widow into a state of depression for the remainder of her days, which she spent wandering aimlessly along the chateau's corridors dressed in mourning clothes amidst somber black tapestries stitched with skulls and crossbones.
Then Catherine's son-in-law became King Henri IV and gave Chenonceau to his mistress after paying the debts of Catherine and Louise.
In 1650, Louis XIV was the last king to visit, bringing to an end the regal possession.
in 1720 The Chateau was bought by the Duke of Bourbon who eventually sold off all of the castle's contents, with many of the fine statues ending up at Versailles.
Later in the 1700s it became a gathering place for leaders of the Enlightenment such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
It was spared from destruction during the French Revolution, because "it was essential to travel and commerce, being the only bridge across the river for many miles."
The chateau was sold several more times, finally purchased in 1913 byt the Menier family, which still owns it, and welcomes visitors every day of the year.

Discovery Channel - Royal Secrets (1996)
"Royal Secrets" is a fascinating chronicle of human nature in power - its vices and virtues, strengths and failings.
It is also an original and exciting guide to the huge sweep of European history out of whose bloody struggles for power the great European traditions of democracy, justice and chivalry painfully emerged.
The ancient cult of royalty has always fascinated and inspired writers, historians and diarists.
Stepping beyond the well-worn paths of history books, these half hour films will use little-known anecdotal stories to bring the personalities of those distant figures vividly to life.
Part 1: Assassins
Good King Wenceslas unfortunately had a wicked brother. The ingenious killers of England's Edward II left no trace of foul play -- except his screams. France's Henry IV survived nineteen assassins--until he went for a fateful ride.
Part 2: Impostors
Britons believed Richard III had murdered his two nephews in the Tower of London, until one of them came back to life. The son of Ivan the Terrible took power after his father's death, or was the son dead too? Denmark was once ruled by an ordinary German doctor who slept his way to power.
Part 3: Dynasty
Sometimes keeping power is harder than getting it. The Normans triumphed on the battlefield but were undone by Mother Nature. The Hapsburgs decided to keep power in the family, and the decision proved their undoing. The Medicis lived, and died, under the spell of a curse.
Part 4: Law and Disorder
In trying to bring justice to England, Henry II brought about one of history's most infamous murders. Henry VII dusted off an outdated law and ate his way to power. Writing two laws a day, Joseph II of Austria failed to please most of his people most of the time, and brought his empire to the brink of revolution.
Part 5: Glory
Elizabeth I ushered in England's age of glory, yet sacrificed herself in the bargain. Louis XIV gave Europe its most glorious palace, yet it was really a monument to fear. England's Edward I earned his glory the hard way, on the battlefield, by hammering the Scots and ringing Wales with castles.
Part 6: Murderers
Ivan the Terrible killed more people than any monarch in history -- hundreds with his own hands, and enjoyed it. The most famous murder mystery stars a real king: Macbeth. Also: the fatal insanity of Erik XIV of Sweden.
Part 7: Sorcery
The reign of Louis XIV, France's Sun King, was clouded by black magic. The Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II believed he was possessed by the devil, and resorted to sorcery to exorcise him. The sister-in-law of England's Henry VI tried to destroy him with witchcraft, and nearly succeeded.
Part 8: Warmongers
Richard the Lionheart of England went down in legend as a kind king and a great warrior. In fact, he taxed his countrymen to the hilt, got himself captured, and taxed them again to pay his ransom. Frederick the Great proved so brilliant on the battlefield that his tactics are still studied today.
Part 9: Bizarre
When the love of his life died, Henry III of France went on a binge of free spending, cross-dressing, and self-flagellation, until he got himself killed. Peter the Great dragged Russia out of the Dark Ages yet had his own dark side: he collected freaks of nature, and took a personal interest in torture.
Part 10: Folly
When monarchs erred, they erred on a grand scale. Queen Adelaide of Sicily married a cad and was conned out of her wealth dowry: Charles VI of Austria not only bankrupted his nation, he left it defenseless. James IV of Scotland fell under the spell of a drunken quack.
Part 11: Lust
A royal affair could be a dangerous liaison. Anne Boleyn flirted with Henry VIII and lost her head. England's Princess Caroline had flings on the side, like her husband, George IV, but fell victim to double standards. France's Louis XV was the lustiest monarch in history, and paid for it with his life.
Part 12: Kiss of Death
An affair with a queen could be an affair to remember, if you survived. France's Marguerite of Valois was like a black widow, because her lovers later died suddenly. Catherine the Great of Russia used her lover to help win her throne, then tossed him aside.

Vive Henri IV
------------
Date : 1590-1770-1774-1800 à 1899
Joué sur l'air de "La Marche de Henri IV",
On attribue le premier couplet de 1590 à "Du Caurroy", maître de la chapelle de "François II, Charles IX, Henri III et Henri IV" ; Du Caurroy lui donnera donc sa forme politique.
Le chant devient vite connu et chanté dans tout le Royaume durant des centaines d'années grâce à la popularité du Roi Henri IV.
En 1717, édité dans la clé des Chansoniers, il sert à une " mazarinade " Grétry l'intercarle dans un de ses opéras.
En 1770, deux autres couplets ont été écrits par le grand chansonnier lettré "Charles Collé" ceux commençant par ("J'aimons les filles" et "Vive la France"),
Il les fait chanter dans sa pièce intitulée "La partie de chasse d'Henri IV" le succès fut tel que les représentations furent multipliées et les nouveaux couplets dans la bouche de tous.
Un peu plus tard vers 1774 fut écrit un troisième couplet toujours par "Charles Collé" en l'honneur de Louis XVI, celui commençant par ("Chantons l'antienne")
Car un de ses premiers actes de règne avait été l'autorisation au Théâtre-Français de représenter « La partie de chasse d'Henri IV », tolérée seulement dans les spectacles de province, sous le règne précédent (Louix XV).
Tout ce complément de chanson eut un énorme succès sur le peuple Français en 1774 à l'avènement de Louis XVI,
à qui l'on souhaitait ainsi de ressembler au bon Roi Henri.
Sous la revolution, la chanson sert de timbre au tombeau des aristocrates.
La chanson fut harmonisé en 1826 à l'opéra-comique, sous le même titre par François-Henri Castil-Blaze
Le 3 Avril 1814 à l'Opéra en présence des souverains pour fêter le retour de la Monarchie une variante de "Vive Henri IV" ayant comme nom "Le retour des Princes Français à Paris" est Chanté par Lays.
Toujours en 1814 le cortège Royale fut accueilli à son arrivé dans Paris par le chant Vive Henri IV.
La chanson est chanté à la fin du film Russe de 1965 retracant le roman de Léon Tolstoï "guerre et paix" la chanson célèbrant dans le film la défaite de l'Empire Français et le retour du Roi de France pour une paix en Europe.
En 1815 durant les Cent-Jours, les paroles de Vive Henri IV sont transformées pour en faire une chanson contre L'empereur.
En 1814 le Roi Louis XVIII interdit "La Marseillaise" et la remplace par "Vive Henri IV"
La chanson aura alors comme surnom « La Marseillaise des honnêtes gens » et fera figure de chant légitimiste national sous la Restauration (Hymne Nationale),
hors de la présence royale.
On évitait de jouer la chanson devant les personnes royales, à cause de son refrain : « J'aimons les filles et j'aimons le bon vin. »
Au XIX ème Siècle fut trouvé dans un recueil anonyme lui aussi du XIX ème deux autres couplet que l'on ajouta à "Vive Henri IV", d'où les dates de 1590-1770-1774-1800 à 1899.
La particularité de ce chant c'est qu'il peut se chanter de quatre façons différentes tout en gardant le même air.
Couplet 1 et 2 x2 ; couplet 5 et 6 x2 ; couplet 1 et 2 x2 + couplet 5 et 6 x2 ; ou être chanté en antienne.
"Vive Henri IV" que tous les Français connaissaient par coeur, fut l'un des chants les plus connus de l'histoire de France,
mais tombant dans l'oubli depuis 150 ans.
1590
Vive Henri IV
Vive ce Roi vaillant !
Ce diable à quatre
A le triple talent
De boire et de battre,
Et d'être un vert-galant.
De boire et de battre,
Et d'être un vert-galant.
1800-1899
Au diable guerres,
Rancunes et partis.
Comme nos pères,
Chantons en vrais amis
Au choc des verres,
Les roses et les lys !
Au choc des verres,
Les roses et les lys !
1774
Chantons l'antienne
Qu'on chantera dans mille ans,
Que Dieu maintienne
En paix ses descendants
Jusqu'à ce qu'on prenne,
La lune avec les dents.
Jusqu'à ce qu'on prenne,
La lune avec les dents.
1770
Vive la France,
Vive le roi Henri !
Qu'à Reims on danse,
En disant comme Paris
Vive la France,
Vive le roi Henri !
Vive la France,
Vive le roi Henri !
1590
Vive Henri IV
Vive ce roi vaillant !
Vive Henri IV
Vive ce roi vaillant !
Ce diable à quatre
A le triple talent
De boire et de battre,
Et d'être un vers galant.
1770
J'aimons les filles,
Et j'aimons le bon vin
J'aimons les filles,
Et j'aimons le bon vin
De nos bons drilles
Voilà tout le refrain
J'aimons les filles
Et j'aimons le bon vin !
1800-1899
Moins de soudrilles
Eussent troublé le sein
Moins de soudrilles
Eussent troublé le sein
De nos familles
Si l'ligueux plus humain
Eût ainsi aimé les filles
Eût aimé le bon vin !

Car un de ses premiers actes de règne avait été l'autorisation au Théâtre-Français de représenter « La partie de chasse d'Henri IV », tolérée seulement dans les spectacles de province, sous le règne précédent (Louix XV).
Tout ce complément de chanson eut un énorme succès sur le peuple Français en 1774 à l'avènement de Louis XVI,
à qui l'on souhaitait ainsi de ressembler au bon Roi Henri.
Sous la revolution, la chanson sert de timbre au tombeau des aristocrates.
La chanson fut harmonisé en 1826 à l'opéra-comique, sous le même titre par François-Henri Castil-Blaze
Le 3 Avril 1814 à l'Opéra en présence des souverains pour fêter le retour de la Monarchie une variante de "Vive Henri IV" ayant comme nom "Le retour des Princes Français à Paris" est Chanté par Lays.
Toujours en 1814 le cortège Royale fut accueilli à son arrivé dans Paris par le chant Vive Henri IV.
La chanson est chanté à la fin du film Russe de 1965 retracant le roman de Léon Tolstoï "guerre et paix" la chanson célèbrant dans le film la défaite de l'Empire Français et le retour du Roi de France pour une paix en Europe.
En 1815 durant les Cent-Jours, les paroles de Vive Henri IV sont transformées pour en faire une chanson contre L'empereur.
En 1814 le Roi Louis XVIII interdit "La Marseillaise" et la remplace par "Vive Henri IV"
La chanson aura alors comme surnom « La Marseillaise des honnêtes gens » et fera figure de chant légitimiste national sous la Restauration (Hymne Nationale),
hors de la présence royale.
On évitait de jouer la chanson devant les personnes royales, à cause de son refrain : « J'aimons les filles et j'aimons le bon vin. »
Au XIX ème Siècle fut trouvé dans un recueil anonyme lui aussi du XIX ème deux autres couplet que l'on ajouta à "Vive Henri IV", d'où les dates de 1590-1770-1774-1800 à 1899.
La particularité de ce chant c'est qu'il peut se chanter de quatre façons différentes tout en gardant le même air.
Couplet 1 et 2 x2 ; couplet 5 et 6 x2 ; couplet 1 et 2 x2 + couplet 5 et 6 x2 ; ou être chanté en antienne.
"Vive Henri IV" que tous les Français connaissaient par coeur, fut l'un des chants les plus connus de l'histoire de France,
mais tombant dans l'oubli depuis 150 ans.
1590
Vive Henri IV
Vive ce Roi vaillant !
Ce diable à quatre
A le triple talent
De boire et de battre,
Et d'être un vert-galant.
De boire et de battre,
Et d'être un vert-galant.
1800-1899
Au diable guerres,
Rancunes et partis.
Comme nos pères,
Chantons en vrais amis
Au choc des verres,
Les roses et les lys !
Au choc des verres,
Les roses et les lys !
1774
Chantons l'antienne
Qu'on chantera dans mille ans,
Que Dieu maintienne
En paix ses descendants
Jusqu'à ce qu'on prenne,
La lune avec les dents.
Jusqu'à ce qu'on prenne,
La lune avec les dents.
1770
Vive la France,
Vive le roi Henri !
Qu'à Reims on danse,
En disant comme Paris
Vive la France,
Vive le roi Henri !
Vive la France,
Vive le roi Henri !
1590
Vive Henri IV
Vive ce roi vaillant !
Vive Henri IV
Vive ce roi vaillant !
Ce diable à quatre
A le triple talent
De boire et de battre,
Et d'être un vers galant.
1770
J'aimons les filles,
Et j'aimons le bon vin
J'aimons les filles,
Et j'aimons le bon vin
De nos bons drilles
Voilà tout le refrain
J'aimons les filles
Et j'aimons le bon vin !
1800-1899
Moins de soudrilles
Eussent troublé le sein
Moins de soudrilles
Eussent troublé le sein
De nos familles
Si l'ligueux plus humain
Eût ainsi aimé les filles
Eût aimé le bon vin !

Discovery Channel - Royal Secrets (1996)
"Royal Secrets" is a fascinating chronicle of human nature in power - its vices and virtues, strengths and failings.
It is also an original and exciting guide to the huge sweep of European history out of whose bloody struggles for power the great European traditions of democracy, justice and chivalry painfully emerged.
The ancient cult of royalty has always fascinated and inspired writers, historians and diarists.
Stepping beyond the well-worn paths of history books, these half hour films will use little-known anecdotal stories to bring the personalities of those distant figures vividly to life.
Part 1: Assassins
Good King Wenceslas unfortunately had a wicked brother. The ingenious killers of England's Edward II left no trace of foul play -- except his screams. France's Henry IV survived nineteen assassins--until he went for a fateful ride.
Part 2: Impostors
Britons believed Richard III had murdered his two nephews in the Tower of London, until one of them came back to life. The son of Ivan the Terrible took power after his father's death, or was the son dead too? Denmark was once ruled by an ordinary German doctor who slept his way to power.
Part 3: Dynasty
Sometimes keeping power is harder than getting it. The Normans triumphed on the battlefield but were undone by Mother Nature. The Hapsburgs decided to keep power in the family, and the decision proved their undoing. The Medicis lived, and died, under the spell of a curse.
Part 4: Law and Disorder
In trying to bring justice to England, Henry II brought about one of history's most infamous murders. Henry VII dusted off an outdated law and ate his way to power. Writing two laws a day, Joseph II of Austria failed to please most of his people most of the time, and brought his empire to the brink of revolution.
Part 5: Glory
Elizabeth I ushered in England's age of glory, yet sacrificed herself in the bargain. Louis XIV gave Europe its most glorious palace, yet it was really a monument to fear. England's Edward I earned his glory the hard way, on the battlefield, by hammering the Scots and ringing Wales with castles.
Part 6: Murderers
Ivan the Terrible killed more people than any monarch in history -- hundreds with his own hands, and enjoyed it. The most famous murder mystery stars a real king: Macbeth. Also: the fatal insanity of Erik XIV of Sweden.
Part 7: Sorcery
The reign of Louis XIV, France's Sun King, was clouded by black magic. The Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II believed he was possessed by the devil, and resorted to sorcery to exorcise him. The sister-in-law of England's Henry VI tried to destroy him with witchcraft, and nearly succeeded.
Part 8: Warmongers
Richard the Lionheart of England went down in legend as a kind king and a great warrior. In fact, he taxed his countrymen to the hilt, got himself captured, and taxed them again to pay his ransom. Frederick the Great proved so brilliant on the battlefield that his tactics are still studied today.
Part 9: Bizarre
When the love of his life died, Henry III of France went on a binge of free spending, cross-dressing, and self-flagellation, until he got himself killed. Peter the Great dragged Russia out of the Dark Ages yet had his own dark side: he collected freaks of nature, and took a personal interest in torture.
Part 10: Folly
When monarchs erred, they erred on a grand scale. Queen Adelaide of Sicily married a cad and was conned out of her wealth dowry: Charles VI of Austria not only bankrupted his nation, he left it defenseless. James IV of Scotland fell under the spell of a drunken quack.
Part 11: Lust
A royal affair could be a dangerous liaison. Anne Boleyn flirted with Henry VIII and lost her head. England's Princess Caroline had flings on the side, like her husband, George IV, but fell victim to double standards. France's Louis XV was the lustiest monarch in history, and paid for it with his life.
Part 12: Kiss of Death
An affair with a queen could be an affair to remember, if you survived. France's Marguerite of Valois was like a black widow, because her lovers later died suddenly. Catherine the Great of Russia used her lover to help win her throne, then tossed him aside.

In which John Green examines the French Revolution, and gets into how and why it differed from the American Revolution. Was it the serial authoritarian regimes? The guillotine? The Reign of Terror? All of this and more contributed to the French Revolution not being quite as revolutionary as it could have been. France endured multiple constitutions, the heads of heads of state literally rolled, and then they ended up with a megalomaniacal little emperor by the name of Napoleon. But how did all of this change the world, and how did it lead to other, more successful revolutions around the world? Watch this video and find out.

Travel video about destination France.
France is a country with a long and dramatic history. A country of unique flair and picturesque old towns, fortresses and castles and also a country of beautiful landscapes.Today Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. First established by the Celts, next used strategically by the Romans and then the domain of the Sun King. Paris is not a city but a feeling of joie de vivre! Les Champs Elysees is the French metropolis’ magnificent avenue and surely one of the most beautiful in the world, with wide boulevards, shady corners and large volumes of traffic. For more than a century the members of the French court languished in Versailles where incredible pageantry and opulence dominated and the king celebrated in majestic style. A hundred hectares of ingenious garden design with a strict symmetry of wide star-shaped garden paths that seem to be without end. With its historic buildings, the eighty metre high granite mound of Le Mont-Saint-Michel is like something from a fairy tale. Due to its unique location and architectural splendour this picturesque village is often referred to as the Wonder Of The Occident. The Emerald Coast is a world of foaming white surf and dramatic cliffs. Saint Malo is the proud and solemn “Town Of Corsairs” as the yacht harbour of today once contained pirate ships. The historic centre of Nice, Vielle Ville, has maintained its charm and boasts the most well displayed fish market on the whole Cote D`Azur and a fruit and flower market that each day offers fresh produce and satisfies all the requirements of its most demanding customers. This is a journey to many corners of France - a fascinating journey not to be missed!

http://www.expedia.com/Paris.d179898.Destination-Travel-Guides
Paris, the capital of France, attracts 42 million visitors a year.
You can start your Paris tour on the metro, on foot, or with a taxi or bicycle; the city is easily navigable on all fronts. Visit the Arc de Triomphe in the center of the city and marvel at its graceful lines and commanding presence. Built between 1806 and 1836, the Arc is one of a number of historical arches and landmarks peppering Paris.
If your Paris sightseeing includes purchasing souvenirs, head to the Champs-Élysées, home of boutique shopping, numerous restaurants, and many bars, along with a theatre and other entertaining venues. Learn about culture and creativity at the Louvre, a 14th-century palace turned art museum, and check in on the Mona Lisa and her mysterious smile. Notre Dame Cathedral cannot be missed, as this imposing Gothic structure has stood since 1345.
Speaking of imposing, the Eiffel Tower is most frequently used to represent Paris. Stroll beneath it to get a good idea of its height, or travel to the top for a stunning view of the City of Light.

50 Things to do in Paris, France | Top Attractions Travel Guide Travel Video Transcript:
Hello, and welcome to Paris. This week we are exploring the city of love, city of lights and city of art. This video will be showing you the top 50 things to do while you visit Paris.
So we're wrapping things up here. What would be your one tip for visiting Paris? Well, I have recently spent a whole ten days here in summer. I would say that if you really want to visit the art galleries, the museums and all of the main attractions you should probably avoid summer and like either come in the spring or the fall or even winter. Because the lines are insane and sometimes you have to wait like an hour and a half or two hours just to go inside a museum or go inside a church. And you just kill a lot of time. So that is my one tip. Try and avoid summer when the crowds are just everywhere and it is also a bit too hot in my opinion. But that is just me.
So how about you? What are your final thoughts on Paris? So my finals thoughts is obviously Paris is one of the top cities in the world in terms of attractions. But it is like any other big gritty city. And you have to come with realistic expectations. There is going to be garbage, there is going to be lines, there is going to be some areas that are a bit of an eyesore. But there is also a lot of beauty and there is also a lot to do here. So I highly you recommend coming but just don't have Paris on such a high pedestal that you're going to be disappointed.
And that concludes our guide of the top 50 things to do and see in Paris. We hope you enjoyed watching, and let us know if there are other places you would add to this list.
This is part of our Travel in France series. We're making a series of videos showcasing French culture, French arts, French foods, French religion, French cuisine and French people.

When you plan a trip to Nice, France, you’re in good company: This city has been a tourist destination since at least the 18th century. The European aristocracy often spent their winters in the pleasant climate, with a sunset walk on the shoreline being the highlight of each day.
You can walk in their footsteps—literally—with a stroll down the Promenade des Anglais, which roughly translates to Walkway of the English. On a tour of Nice, you’ll enjoy the mixture of French and Italian culture that permeates the city’s architecture, public art, and yes, the food. Bon appetit!
The residents of Nice love the outdoors, and you will, too, as you explore the Place Massena—the city’s main square, where you can enjoy a snack at a café or do some shopping in its many boutiques. Any Nice sightseeing requires exploration of one of the many open-air markets, where you can pick up fresh produce, local artwork, and French pastries that will leave you wondering why you waited so long to visit.
Cap a perfect day in Nice with a dip in the ocean and a walk along the seashore, watching the sun disappear into the sea.
What are you going to eat while in Nice?

Lyon is known for its historical and architectural landmarks and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lyon was historically known as an important area for the production and weaving of silk and in modern times has developed a reputation as the capital of gastronomy in France.

Take a tour of France's Most Beautiful Villages -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
I'd like to show you the Most Beautiful Villages of France:
Embodying France's natural ethereal beauty is the village of Gordes. Engulfed by luxuriant countryside and green hills, it has been deemed one of ''The most beautiful villages of France''. Enshrouded by houses made of stone and terracotta roof tiles, the village exudes warmth and rustic charm.
Overlooking a river gorge, the magnificent town of Rocamadour is built into a nearly sheer cliff face. A historical site of pilgrimage and a place of holy relics, Rocamadour is lit with medieval history. Famous for its monastic buildings and gorgeous churches, the village is among the most sought after French destinations.
The French village of Honfleur has earned a reputation as an artist's town over time. Its timber framed houses adorned with gray facades and cafe terraces endow it with a marked essence of uniqueness. Lovely harbor views coupled with great architecture and weather makes it a beautiful and ethereal holiday destination.
La Roque-Gageac is an amiable village enveloped in the serene waters of the
Dordogne. Compelling town sites include its riverside houses, narrow alleys, and manicured gardens all of which are absolutely delightful. A fortified village in the medieval era, it is beset with archaic manors and enthralling cliffs.
Eguisheim is a quaint village close to the German border. The characteristic narrow, cobble-stoned streets and alleyways strengthen Equisheim's stature as a resplendent medieval town. Due to its proximity to the German lands, a resolute German influence is evident in its language, architecture, and culture.

Travel video about destination Paris in France.
Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. First established by the Celts, next used strategically by the Romans, then it served the extravagant lifestyle of the Sun King, Louis XIV until it became a hotbed of Revolution.
Champs-Élysée is surely one of the most beautiful avenues in the world. It has wide boulevards, shady corners, ambient street cafes and classic Parisian buildings that are decorated with flowers.
Since 1873, the Palais de l'Élysée has been the residence of the French President. At the beginning of the 17th century, Madame de Pompadour lived there and during the Revolution the liberated people cavorted in its luxurious rooms.
Through a small triumphal arch decorated with scenes of Napoleon's victorious army, there is the garden created by Leotre, the Jardin des Tuileries. A bridge and fountain are the focal points of this popular park, created in typical French style.
A modern glass pyramid and a fountain decorate the courtyard of the former Louvre Palace, which since the time of the Revolution has been transformed into a museum that contains the famous Louvre art gallery. Its collection of remarkable historic treasures and superb art collection make it one of the world's most famous museums with Leonardo Da Vinci´s masterpiece, the Mona Lisa, taking pride of place.
Situated on a small island on the River Seine is the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the 'Mother Church of the Nation'. Built on the foundations of a Roman temple and commissioned by the bishops Maurice and Eudes de Sully, it took almost 200 years to build this Gothic masterpiece.
Built at the end of the 19th century as a symbol of national revival, Montmartre's Sacre Coeur has the appearance of a white, fairy-tale palace with 237 steps that lead up to the main entrance of this extraordinary structure. Its Byzantine architecture and five cupolas are reminiscent of the Marcus Dome in Venice.
Of course, there are the dizzy heights of the Eiffel Tower and a great deal more. Paris is a wonderful festival of the senses!

Paris is the capital and largest city of France. It is situated on the river Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Ile-de-France region.
The most important places to visit in Paris are: Place de la Concorde (the largest square in Paris, it has a 3000 year old Egyptian obelisk and is particularly beautiful at night), Pompidou Center (a colorfully creative modern building housing a vast collection of modern art), Arc de Triomphe (built in the early 1800s by Napoleon, the Arc is a symbol of national pride. At the top, you'll find fantastic views of Paris), Versailles Palace (a royal château just outside of Paris has grand architecture, 700 rooms and beautiful gardens), Notre Dame (one of the most recognized symbols in the world and over 750 years old, Notre Dame has incredibly detailed Gothic architecture), Sacré-Coeur (this Byzantine style stunning light church, despised by intellectuals when it was built, is a must see for Paris visitors), Louvre Museum (perhaps the world's most famous museum, it hosts thousands of pieces of great art, including Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lise), Eiffel Tower (amongst the most recognizable and visited monuments in the world, everyone must experience the Eiffel Tower in their lifetime).
If you want to save time and money, the most important Paris travel tip is to compare prices before booking a hotel room or a flight. You can do this for free on http://bookinghunter.com, a site that searches through hundreds of other travel websites in real time for the best travel deals available.

Travel video about destination Provence.
Marseille is the oldest city in France, the country’s largest commercial harbour and the capital of Provence, an enchanting region full of contrast.The most impressive religious building in Marseille is a fortified monastery church that dates back to the fifth century, the mighty Abbaye Saint Victor. Deep down in the rock is an Early Christian crypt and a number of stone sarcophaguses that contain the remains of various holy martyrs that date back to the Roman persecution of the Christians. Aix-En-Provence, along with its numerous lanes, is one of the most beautiful cities in France. More than forty spectacular fountains help to cool down this ancient town in the hot months of summer when both foreign and French tourists visit the city. ‘Sur Le Pont D’Avignon’ are the words of the world famous French song that is familiar to both young and old alike. It is a song of dance on the bridge of the Pont Saint Bénézet but it is more likely that the people here once danced under the bridge as that is the location of its bars! For almost two thousand years an imposing Roman amphitheatre has dominated the city of Nîmes. It is the capital of the Departement Gard that is situated on the periphery of Provence. One of the most well preserved mediaeval fortifications in Europe surrounds the small town of Aigues-Mortes along the western periphery of the Camargue in the south of France. The town was established in 1240. From the city wall that is eleven metres high and six metres thick, there is a wonderful view across the rooftops of the impregnable city. With historic towns in which both the Romans and the Papacy felt at home, and with blossoming fields of lavender and ancient mountain villages, Provence is a land of sweet aromas and radiant light.

Deep down in the rock is an Early Christian crypt and a number of stone sarcophaguses that contain the remains of various holy martyrs that date back to the Roman persecution of the Christians. Aix-En-Provence, along with its numerous lanes, is one of the most beautiful cities in France. More than forty spectacular fountains help to cool down this ancient town in the hot months of summer when both foreign and French tourists visit the city. ‘Sur Le Pont D’Avignon’ are the words of the world famous French song that is familiar to both young and old alike. It is a song of dance on the bridge of the Pont Saint Bénézet but it is more likely that the people here once danced under the bridge as that is the location of its bars! For almost two thousand years an imposing Roman amphitheatre has dominated the city of Nîmes. It is the capital of the Departement Gard that is situated on the periphery of Provence. One of the most well preserved mediaeval fortifications in Europe surrounds the small town of Aigues-Mortes along the western periphery of the Camargue in the south of France. The town was established in 1240. From the city wall that is eleven metres high and six metres thick, there is a wonderful view across the rooftops of the impregnable city. With historic towns in which both the Romans and the Papacy felt at home, and with blossoming fields of lavender and ancient mountain villages, Provence is a land of sweet aromas and radiant light.

One of the most beautiful medium sized cities in the world, Nice has something for everyone.
And should you get bored, just a short train trip away you can also visit Monte Carlo (Monaco). The beaches are crystal blue and the city looks like a carbon copy of Paris (on a smaller scale). Actually we like Nice much more than Paris. Monaco, meh... we are not too sure yet. It may take another couple of trips.

Les Mignons (from mignon, French for "the darlings" or "the dainty ones") was a term used by polemicists in the toxic atmosphere of the French Wars of Religion and taken up by the people of Paris, to designate the favourites of Henry III of France, from his return from Poland to reign in France in 1574, to his assassination in 1589, a disastrous end to which the perception of effeminate weakness contributed.[1] The mignons were frivolous and fashionable young men, to whom public malignity attributed heterodox sexuality, rumors that some historians have found to be a factor in the disintegration of the late Valois monarchy. -

L’assassinat d’Henri IV par Ravaillac (1610) | 2000 ans d’histoire | France Inter
Henri IV, surnommé Henri le Grand, né Henri de Bourbon le 13 décembre 1553 à Pau et assassiné le 14 mai 1610 à Paris, fut roi de Navarre (Henri III de Navarre, 1572-1610) puis roi de France (1589-1610), premier souverain de la branche dite de Bourbon de la dynastie capétienne. Il était le fils de Jeanne III, de son nom patronymique Jeanne d'Albret, reine de Navarre, et d'Antoine de Bourbon, chef de la maison de Bourbon, descendant du roi Louis IX et premier prince du sang.

Confronté aux guerres de religion, il y fut d'abord impliqué en tant que prince du sang et chef protestant avant d'accéder au trône de Fran... -

Henry VI Part 3, by William Shakespeare
LibriVox recording of Henry VI Part 3, by William Shakespeare. Henry VI, Part 3 or The Third Part of Henry the Sixt (often written as 3 Henry VI) is a history play by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1591, and set during the lifetime of King Henry VI of England. Whereas 1 Henry VI deals with the loss of England's French territories and the political machinations leading up to the Wars of the Roses, and 2 Henry VI focuses on the King's inability to quell the bickering of his nobles, and the inevitability of armed conflict, 3 Henry VI deals primarily with the horrors of that conflict, as the once ordered nation is thrown into chaos and barbarism as families break down and moral codes are subverted in the pursuit of revenge and power. Among Shakespeare's history plays He...

Henri IV, surnommé Henri le Grand, né Henri de Bourbon le 13 décembre 1553 à Pau et assassiné le 14 mai 1610 à Paris, fut roi de Navarre (Henri III de Navarre, 1572-1610) puis roi de France (1589-1610), premier souverain de la branche dite de Bourbon de la dynastie capétienne.
Il était le fils de Jeanne III, de son nom patronymique Jeanne d'Albret, reine de Navarre, et d'Antoine de Bourbon, chef de la maison de Bourbon, descendant du roi Louis IX et premier prince du sang. En vertu de la « loi salique » cette filiation fera d'Henri le successeur naturel du roi de France à la mort de François, duc d'Anjou (frère et héritier du roi Henri III), en 1584.
Confronté aux guerres de religion, il y fut d'abord impliqué en tant que prince du sang et chef protestant avant d'accéder au trône de France (baptisé catholique à sa naissance, il changea plusieurs fois de religion avant son accession au trône). Pour être accepté comme roi de France, il se reconvertit à sa religion d'origine, le catholicisme, et signa l'Édit de Nantes, traité de paix tolérant dans certaines limites le culte protestant, qui mit fin à deux décennies de guerres de religion. Alors qu'il préparait une guerre contre l'Espagne, il fut assassiné le 14 mai 1610 par un fanatique charentais, François Ravaillac, rue de la Ferronnerie à Paris.

Discovery Channel - Royal Secrets (1996)
"Royal Secrets" is a fascinating chronicle of human nature in power - its vices and virtues, strengths and failings.
It is also an original and exciting guide to the huge sweep of European history out of whose bloody struggles for power the great European traditions of democracy, justice and chivalry painfully emerged.
The ancient cult of royalty has always fascinated and inspired writers, historians and diarists.
Stepping beyond the well-worn paths of history books, these half hour films will use little-known anecdotal stories to bring the personalities of those distant figures vividly to life.
Part 1: Assassins
Good King Wenceslas unfortunately had a wicked brother. The ingenious killers of England's Edward II left no trace of foul play -- except his screams. France's Henry IV survived nineteen assassins--until he went for a fateful ride.
Part 2: Impostors
Britons believed Richard III had murdered his two nephews in the Tower of London, until one of them came back to life. The son of Ivan the Terrible took power after his father's death, or was the son dead too? Denmark was once ruled by an ordinary German doctor who slept his way to power.
Part 3: Dynasty
Sometimes keeping power is harder than getting it. The Normans triumphed on the battlefield but were undone by Mother Nature. The Hapsburgs decided to keep power in the family, and the decision proved their undoing. The Medicis lived, and died, under the spell of a curse.
Part 4: Law and Disorder
In trying to bring justice to England, Henry II brought about one of history's most infamous murders. Henry VII dusted off an outdated law and ate his way to power. Writing two laws a day, Joseph II of Austria failed to please most of his people most of the time, and brought his empire to the brink of revolution.
Part 5: Glory
Elizabeth I ushered in England's age of glory, yet sacrificed herself in the bargain. Louis XIV gave Europe its most glorious palace, yet it was really a monument to fear. England's Edward I earned his glory the hard way, on the battlefield, by hammering the Scots and ringing Wales with castles.
Part 6: Murderers
Ivan the Terrible killed more people than any monarch in history -- hundreds with his own hands, and enjoyed it. The most famous murder mystery stars a real king: Macbeth. Also: the fatal insanity of Erik XIV of Sweden.
Part 7: Sorcery
The reign of Louis XIV, France's Sun King, was clouded by black magic. The Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II believed he was possessed by the devil, and resorted to sorcery to exorcise him. The sister-in-law of England's Henry VI tried to destroy him with witchcraft, and nearly succeeded.
Part 8: Warmongers
Richard the Lionheart of England went down in legend as a kind king and a great warrior. In fact, he taxed his countrymen to the hilt, got himself captured, and taxed them again to pay his ransom. Frederick the Great proved so brilliant on the battlefield that his tactics are still studied today.
Part 9: Bizarre
When the love of his life died, Henry III of France went on a binge of free spending, cross-dressing, and self-flagellation, until he got himself killed. Peter the Great dragged Russia out of the Dark Ages yet had his own dark side: he collected freaks of nature, and took a personal interest in torture.
Part 10: Folly
When monarchs erred, they erred on a grand scale. Queen Adelaide of Sicily married a cad and was conned out of her wealth dowry: Charles VI of Austria not only bankrupted his nation, he left it defenseless. James IV of Scotland fell under the spell of a drunken quack.
Part 11: Lust
A royal affair could be a dangerous liaison. Anne Boleyn flirted with Henry VIII and lost her head. England's Princess Caroline had flings on the side, like her husband, George IV, but fell victim to double standards. France's Louis XV was the lustiest monarch in history, and paid for it with his life.
Part 12: Kiss of Death
An affair with a queen could be an affair to remember, if you survived. France's Marguerite of Valois was like a black widow, because her lovers later died suddenly. Catherine the Great of Russia used her lover to help win her throne, then tossed him aside.

The ancient cult of royalty has always fascinated and inspired writers, historians and diarists.
Stepping beyond the well-worn paths of history books, these half hour films will use little-known anecdotal stories to bring the personalities of those distant figures vividly to life.
Part 1: Assassins
Good King Wenceslas unfortunately had a wicked brother. The ingenious killers of England's Edward II left no trace of foul play -- except his screams. France's Henry IV survived nineteen assassins--until he went for a fateful ride.
Part 2: Impostors
Britons believed Richard III had murdered his two nephews in the Tower of London, until one of them came back to life. The son of Ivan the Terrible took power after his father's death, or was the son dead too? Denmark was once ruled by an ordinary German doctor who slept his way to power.
Part 3: Dynasty
Sometimes keeping power is harder than getting it. The Normans triumphed on the battlefield but were undone by Mother Nature. The Hapsburgs decided to keep power in the family, and the decision proved their undoing. The Medicis lived, and died, under the spell of a curse.
Part 4: Law and Disorder
In trying to bring justice to England, Henry II brought about one of history's most infamous murders. Henry VII dusted off an outdated law and ate his way to power. Writing two laws a day, Joseph II of Austria failed to please most of his people most of the time, and brought his empire to the brink of revolution.
Part 5: Glory
Elizabeth I ushered in England's age of glory, yet sacrificed herself in the bargain. Louis XIV gave Europe its most glorious palace, yet it was really a monument to fear. England's Edward I earned his glory the hard way, on the battlefield, by hammering the Scots and ringing Wales with castles.
Part 6: Murderers
Ivan the Terrible killed more people than any monarch in history -- hundreds with his own hands, and enjoyed it. The most famous murder mystery stars a real king: Macbeth. Also: the fatal insanity of Erik XIV of Sweden.
Part 7: Sorcery
The reign of Louis XIV, France's Sun King, was clouded by black magic. The Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II believed he was possessed by the devil, and resorted to sorcery to exorcise him. The sister-in-law of England's Henry VI tried to destroy him with witchcraft, and nearly succeeded.
Part 8: Warmongers
Richard the Lionheart of England went down in legend as a kind king and a great warrior. In fact, he taxed his countrymen to the hilt, got himself captured, and taxed them again to pay his ransom. Frederick the Great proved so brilliant on the battlefield that his tactics are still studied today.
Part 9: Bizarre
When the love of his life died, Henry III of France went on a binge of free spending, cross-dressing, and self-flagellation, until he got himself killed. Peter the Great dragged Russia out of the Dark Ages yet had his own dark side: he collected freaks of nature, and took a personal interest in torture.
Part 10: Folly
When monarchs erred, they erred on a grand scale. Queen Adelaide of Sicily married a cad and was conned out of her wealth dowry: Charles VI of Austria not only bankrupted his nation, he left it defenseless. James IV of Scotland fell under the spell of a drunken quack.
Part 11: Lust
A royal affair could be a dangerous liaison. Anne Boleyn flirted with Henry VIII and lost her head. England's Princess Caroline had flings on the side, like her husband, George IV, but fell victim to double standards. France's Louis XV was the lustiest monarch in history, and paid for it with his life.
Part 12: Kiss of Death
An affair with a queen could be an affair to remember, if you survived. France's Marguerite of Valois was like a black widow, because her lovers later died suddenly. Catherine the Great of Russia used her lover to help win her throne, then tossed him aside.

When monarchs erred, they erred on a grand scale. Queen Adelaide of Sicily married a cad and was conned out of her wealth dowry: Charles VI of Austria not only bankrupted his nation, he left it defenseless. James IV of Scotland fell under the spell of a drunken quack.
Part 11: Lust
A royal affair could be a dangerous liaison. Anne Boleyn flirted with Henry VIII and lost her head. England's Princess Caroline had flings on the side, like her husband, George IV, but fell victim to double standards. France's Louis XV was the lustiest monarch in history, and paid for it with his life.
Part 12: Kiss of Death
An affair with a queen could be an affair to remember, if you survived. France's Marguerite of Valois was like a black widow, because her lovers later died suddenly. Catherine the Great of Russia used her lover to help win her throne, then tossed him aside.

Discovery Channel - Royal Secrets (1996)
"Royal Secrets" is a fascinating chronicle of human nature in power - its vices and virtues, strengths and failings.
It is also an original and exciting guide to the huge sweep of European history out of whose bloody struggles for power the great European traditions of democracy, justice and chivalry painfully emerged.
The ancient cult of royalty has always fascinated and inspired writers, historians and diarists.
Stepping beyond the well-worn paths of history books, these half hour films will use little-known anecdotal stories to bring the personalities of those distant figures vividly to life.
Part 1: Assassins
Good King Wenceslas unfortunately had a wicked brother. The ingenious killers of England's Edward II left no trace of foul play -- except his screams. France's Henry IV survived nineteen assassins--until he went for a fateful ride.
Part 2: Impostors
Britons believed Richard III had murdered his two nephews in the Tower of London, until one of them came back to life. The son of Ivan the Terrible took power after his father's death, or was the son dead too? Denmark was once ruled by an ordinary German doctor who slept his way to power.
Part 3: Dynasty
Sometimes keeping power is harder than getting it. The Normans triumphed on the battlefield but were undone by Mother Nature. The Hapsburgs decided to keep power in the family, and the decision proved their undoing. The Medicis lived, and died, under the spell of a curse.
Part 4: Law and Disorder
In trying to bring justice to England, Henry II brought about one of history's most infamous murders. Henry VII dusted off an outdated law and ate his way to power. Writing two laws a day, Joseph II of Austria failed to please most of his people most of the time, and brought his empire to the brink of revolution.
Part 5: Glory
Elizabeth I ushered in England's age of glory, yet sacrificed herself in the bargain. Louis XIV gave Europe its most glorious palace, yet it was really a monument to fear. England's Edward I earned his glory the hard way, on the battlefield, by hammering the Scots and ringing Wales with castles.
Part 6: Murderers
Ivan the Terrible killed more people than any monarch in history -- hundreds with his own hands, and enjoyed it. The most famous murder mystery stars a real king: Macbeth. Also: the fatal insanity of Erik XIV of Sweden.
Part 7: Sorcery
The reign of Louis XIV, France's Sun King, was clouded by black magic. The Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II believed he was possessed by the devil, and resorted to sorcery to exorcise him. The sister-in-law of England's Henry VI tried to destroy him with witchcraft, and nearly succeeded.
Part 8: Warmongers
Richard the Lionheart of England went down in legend as a kind king and a great warrior. In fact, he taxed his countrymen to the hilt, got himself captured, and taxed them again to pay his ransom. Frederick the Great proved so brilliant on the battlefield that his tactics are still studied today.
Part 9: Bizarre
When the love of his life died, Henry III of France went on a binge of free spending, cross-dressing, and self-flagellation, until he got himself killed. Peter the Great dragged Russia out of the Dark Ages yet had his own dark side: he collected freaks of nature, and took a personal interest in torture.
Part 10: Folly
When monarchs erred, they erred on a grand scale. Queen Adelaide of Sicily married a cad and was conned out of her wealth dowry: Charles VI of Austria not only bankrupted his nation, he left it defenseless. James IV of Scotland fell under the spell of a drunken quack.

LibriVox recording of Henry VI Part 3, by William Shakespeare.
Henry VI, Part 3 or The Third Part of Henry the Sixt (often written as 3 Henry VI) is a history play by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1591, and set during the lifetime of King Henry VI of England. Whereas 1 Henry VI deals with the loss of England's French territories and the political machinations leading up to the Wars of the Roses, and 2 Henry VI focuses on the King's inability to quell the bickering of his nobles, and the inevitability of armed conflict, 3 Henry VI deals primarily with the horrors of that conflict, as the once ordered nation is thrown into chaos and barbarism as families break down and moral codes are subverted in the pursuit of revenge and power.
Among Shakespeare's history plays Henry VI Part 3 and Richard II contain the only intances in which a living monarch is displaced. However, unlike Richard who fell because of his misunderstanding of the limits of his sovereignty, the demise of Henry was due to his total incapacity to exercise his sovereign power. The inability of the king to deal with the brutal realities of regal life is dramatically displayed in Act 2 Scene 5 where Henry witnesses the agonies of the father who has killed his son and the son who has killed his father, and sadly acknowledges that this civil strife has been caused by the King's ineptitude. The crowning indignity comes in Act 3 Scene 1 where the king in hiding is easily detected and trapped by two rustics who triumphantly prepare to lead him before the man who has deposed him, Edward IV. Henry's death comes at the hands of the brother of Edward, the vicious and rampantly ambitious Richard, who later rises to the heights of supreme tyranny in Richard III. After Henry's son and heir, Edward, is murdered, also by the future Richard III, and Henry's most influential supporter, the Earl of Warwick, dies, the House of Lancaster lies in ruins.
Henry VI, Part 3 features the longest soliloquy in all of Shakespeare (3.2.124-195), and has more battle scenes (four on stage, one reported) than any other of Shakespeare's plays. (Summary from Wikipedia with addition by Algy Pug)
