Summary edit
| Description |
Français : intérieur du chateau d'Amboise Seized by Charles VII of France, after its owner, Louis d'Amboise, Viscount of Thours (1392–1469), was convicted of plotting against Louis XI and condemned to be executed in 1431. However, the king pardoned him but took his château at Amboise. Once in royal hands, the château became a favourite of French kings, from Louis XI to Francis I. Charles VIII decided to rebuild it extensively, beginning in 1492 at first in the French late Gothic Flamboyant style and then after 1495 (to his death in 1498) employing two Italian mason-builders, Domenico da Cortona and Fra Giocondo, who provided at Amboise some of the first Renaissance decorative motifs seen in French architecture. Arms of Charles VIII (died 1498) and of Charles VIII impaling Brittany (Ermine), for his wife Anne of Brittany. Also ermine spots and fleurs-de-lis on the wall. The royal shield is circumscribed by the Collar of the Order of Saint Michael. Anne of Brittany remarried to King Louis XII, the cousin and successor of Charles VIII. Both kings were members of the Order of Saint Michael and both have portraits showing them wearing the Collar. Thus these arms could be of Charles VIII or Louis XII. However as most of the building work seems to have been done under Charles VIII it seems likely these are his arms. |
