* Francis I was King of France from 1515. He succeeded his cousin Louis XII and from 1519 European politics turned on the rivalry between Francis and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V which led to several wars. Francis was defeated in 1525, captured at Pavia and only released after he agreed to sign a humiliating treaty. Domestically, however, he developed absolute power as a monarch.
