Glenn Richardson is professor of early modern history at St Mary's University and a fellow of the Royal Historical Society. His books include Wolsey and The Field of Cloth of Gold.
Written with energy, humour and an eye for telling detail, Glenn Richardson’s book tells of a remarkable king who exerted considerable power but is all too often overlooked. Much more than simply a study of a particular monarch, Francis I draws the reader into a world not only of courtly grandeur, artistic patronage and architectural innovation, but political and religious upheaval, constant diplomatic manoeuvring, and military action resulting in moments of triumph or, more often, expensive disappointment. * Janet Dickinson, Departmental Lecturer in Lifelong Learning (History), University of Oxford * Glenn Richardson’s fresh account of the reign of the ""first gentleman of France"" is full of the vibrant colour and bold innovations of France’s great Renaissance king. It is a story of statecraft, courtiers, lovers, battles and some of the finest royal architecture still standing in France today. * Jonathan Spangler, Senior Lecturer in History, Manchester Metropolitan University *
