　　Francois I of France is considered the first Renaissance monarch. Under his rule, people see the culture of France has made great progress. When the young Francois throne in 1515 when he was considered as unprecedented in the history of France, a king with Humanism. His two predecessors, Charles VIII and Louis XII spent a great deal of energy attempting to use armed force to conquer Italy, but it has no way to see this piece of land of origin issued by the Renaissance to the wisdom. The two monarchs is just a simple imitation of the French kings for centuries has been to do: expand the land, to strengthen royal power. Therefore they are considered the last two "medieval style" of the French monarchy. However, they will roll up the results of the French Renaissance style and laid a solid foundation. In Charles VIII and Louis XII in Italy after another to conquer new territories during the French and Italian terms in a special place in close contact. With the deepening of such contacts, new ideas spread from Italy to France. Francois I, it is accepted in this special historical period of education. So some of his tutor, such as Latin teachers Desimolan will inevitably impart to him some new way of thinking. Francois I's mother was also a Renaissance art lovers, she passed this interest to her son.
　　Francois I strongly support this new change; he became some of the greatest art patrons. He is the artist and his contemporaries, many of the supporters and the protection of people, including Leonardo da Vinci (Leonardo da Vinci died in the arms of Francis I). Francois I encourage all artists to France to live and create results like 安德里亚德 Er Satuo and great men like Leonardo da Vinci has accepted his invitation. When Leonardo da Vinci painting in France for some small time, he brought some of his greatest works, including the Mona Lisa. Francois I, for the employment of other great painters of the text Tuoqielini, Roseau and 普利马提乔, Francois palace they add a lot of splendid decoration. Francois I in the Italian gang hired specifically for his acquisition of the Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo, Titian and Raphael's works, then they returned to France. These people have achieved significant results - even though the Leonardo da Vinci's fresco The Last Supper, the crazy plan to move to France did not materialize. Francois I, ascended the throne at the beginning of the French court in only a few well-known painting, but not a statue. Today, people in the Louvre to see that many of the French royal collection in fact is only the beginning of Francois I of the times.
　　In the military and political fields, Francois I, the general achievements. His fight for the throne of the Holy Roman Empire of Charles V, who lost to competition; followed by a series of Italy into the conflict with Charles V (the Italian war.) Italy, France and Spain fight for the land struggle began in Charles VIII and Ferdinand II era, culminating in the Francis I period. Francois I, suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Pavia, Charles V was taken prisoner. He was brought to Madrid, was forced to make humiliating concessions to Charles V (Madrid Treaty) was released. However, a return to Francois I and Charles V of France announced that he signed all the agreements null and void, because they are signed under pressure. After Charles V and François I of operations repeatedly. 1524, Francois I, the public subsidy to help Lyon Giovanni 达韦拉扎诺 North American expedition. He probably comes with the Charles competition. In this expedition, Verrazzano declared the territory of Newfoundland for the French royal family. 1534, Francois I, to Quebec, the St. Lawrence River basin to send 雅克卡提埃 adventure, where possession is said to have mysterious wealth.
　　Francois I, bringing European politics is a major contribution, his introduction to the Ottoman Empire, European affairs. This is totally out of looking for allies against the purpose of Charles V; look at Europe, in addition to and outside of France Francois I have no one dared to Charles V and his Spain - Habsburg Empire challenge. Francois I and Charles V of 苏丹苏里曼 the same hate I (legislators) to form tacit alliance. They were no one with the "infidels" had signed a formal treaty, but reached a tacit understanding against the Habsburg dynasty, Shi Que.

　　Francois I of ambition has never been a successful war, political career, very few amazing achievements. His enthusiasm for art sometimes seems too extravagant. Francois's father and predecessor, Louis XII had in the later years of their heirs may "spoil everything," expressed concern. Louis XII of France left to a small fortune in wealth: the phenomenon of local feudal lords of separatism have been basically eradicated, thriving economy and a balanced budget. The Francois I, to continue to strengthen the French monarchy in Shique greatly damage the French economy. Scale development projects is a huge waste of important factors, and the struggle against Habsburg is a destruction of the financial trap. Results Francois I will attempt to resolve the issue through taxes: taxes levied on farmers more than doubled, rising to the original salt is three times, leading to anger and resentment. Francois I also invented a number of other ways to get revenue: the sale of crown jewels, sell royal territory. In order to quickly pay off, Francois began selling official, as the slow poison poisoned French politics initiator. Objectively speaking, Francois I is a merit and a wrong king who in the development of culture and enhance the international status of France has made great achievements, but those achievements are in France at the expense of economic health.
