Valois Court

The Valois Court refers to the royal court of the Valois dynasty, which ruled France from the late 14th century until the late 16th century. Known for its opulent lifestyle, the court was a center of political power, culture, and art during the Renaissance. Notable figures included kings like Charles V and Francis I, who influenced arts and politics. The court also saw significant tension, especially during the Wars of Religion, as it navigated conflicts between Catholics and Protestants. Ultimately, the Valois line ended with Henry III, leading to the rise of the Bourbon dynasty.
