Dans cet essai biographique d’un style nouveau, Franck Ferrand dépasse l’image d’Épinal et nous dépeint ce roi sous les characteristics d’un personnage moins brillant qu’on ne le prétend. motor vehicle le géant débonnaire a connu des triomphes mais aussi des défaites – et ce jusqu’à l. a. captivité. François Ier, héros tourmenté, subit l. a. trahison de son cousin, adora sa soeur et détesta son héritier, frôla plusieurs fois los angeles mort, multiplia les conquêtes amoureuses, vit mourir ses fils aimés… Un homme qui vécut entre une jeunesse de rêve et une vieillesse de cauchemar, torturé par une maladie atroce.
L’historien va plus loin : et si François Ier n’avait pas été un si bon roi ? Louis XII disait de son successeur : « Ce gros garçon gâtera tout. » L’histoire, pour peu qu’on los angeles regarde objectivement, semble lui avoir donné raison. Longtemps dominé par sa mère, manipulé par sa maîtresse, François se laissa aveugler par son amour de l’Italie et par sa haine de l’Empereur. Jouet des factions, facile à duper, le soi-disant « restaurateur des Lettres » instaura l. a. censure et lutta contre l’imprimerie ; il fi nit même par allumer les bûchers d’où partiront les guerres de faith ! Sous une plume érudite et alerte, voici un portrait contrasté, doublé d’une examine implacable.
