Francis II of France
In 1562, two years after the death of King Francis II of France on December 5, 1560, the Queen of Navarre arrived in Saint-Germain escorted by a grand cortège at the head of which rode her spirited second husband, the Duke of Vendôme. Several days of festivals ensued with diverse games and even a bullfight. Among the guests was their son, the 9-year-old Henri de Béarn, the future Henry IV, and Henry II's third son, the 11-year-old Duke of Orléans who would become the future Henry III.
