Louis X le Hutin (meaning the Quarrelsome) is the son of King Philippe of France IV le Bel and the Queen of Navarre Jeanne Ière. In 1305, he first married Marguerite de Bourgogne. Convicted of adultery with the complicity of her sisters-in-law (Tour de Nesle scandal), Marguerite was sentenced to imprisonment at Château-Gaillard, and rumor has it that she was suffocated or strangled there at the at the instigation of her royal husband. From his second marriage was born John I, a posthumous child. Then there is the problem of succession. On his death, his brother Philippe V took the throne of France.
Intro Louis XI, son of Charles VII, is a great king who is often poorly known. It aroused contradictory opinions, rather unfavorable towards the man, but laudatory as to the work accomplished. If we said he was cruel, it turns out that Louis XI was no worse than most of the kings of that sad time.
