Louis was See also:duke of Orleans until his See also:accession to the See also:throne, and he was fourteen years old when Louis XI. gave him the See also:hand of his second daughter, See also:Joan the Lame. In the first years of the reign of Charles VIII., Louis made a determined stand against the See also:government of the Beaujeus, stirred up coalitions of the feudal nobles against them, and was finally defeated and taken prisoner at St See also:Aubin du Cormier in 1488. Charles VIII. set him at See also:liberty in 1491. These successive checks tamed him a little. In the See also:Italian expedition of 1494 he commanded the vanguard of the royal See also:army, occupied See also:Genoa, and remained in the See also:north of See also:Italy, menacing See also:Milan, on which he was already dreaming of asserting his rights. The See also:children of Charles VIII. having died in See also:infancy, he became See also:heir-presumptive to the throne, and succeeded Charles in 1499. Louis was then See also:thirty-six years old, but he seems to have grown old prematurely. He was fragile, narrow-shouldered and of a sickly constitution. His intelligence was mediocre, his See also:character weak, and he allowed himself to be dominated by his wife, See also:Anne of See also:Brittany, and his favourite the See also:Cardinal d'See also:Amboise. He was li See also:good king, full of moderation and humanity, and See also:bent upon maintaining See also:- ORDER

His See also:foreign policy, which was directed wholly towards Italy, was for the most See also:part unskilful; to his claims on See also:Naples he added those on Milan, which he based on the See also:marriage of his grandfather, Louis of Orleans, with Valentina See also:Visconti. He led in See also:person several armies into Italy, and proved as severe and pitiless towards

On her See also:death in See also:January 1514, in order to detach England from the See also:alliance against him, he married on the 9th of See also:October 1514, See also:Mary Tudor, See also:sister of See also:- HENRY
