Synthèse
"Neither queen nor queen-mother, but mother of the king, Louise de Savoie nonetheless played a prominent role in the affairs of France. Married in 1488 at age 11 to Charles d’Angoulême, she gave birth to her illustrious children, Marguerite in 1492, and François in 1494, and asserted her maternal authority after the sudden death of her husband in 1496. As her son rose to be king in 1515, she succeeded in establishing her place at court through astute patronage of arts and letters, aligning herself, in text and image, with illustrious women, past and present. Identif ied with ‘Dame Prudence’ as she overcame obstacles and rivals, her tenacious devotion to her children culminated in power as Madame, Regent of France."
