Book Overview

""Francis I and the Sixteenth Century, Part 1: Francis I and the Emperor Charles V"" is a historical book written by French historian and statesman Francois Guizot. The book was originally published in 1881 and focuses on the reign of Francis I, the King of France, during the sixteenth century.
