A brief summary of a sickly king.

Francis II, the eldest son of Henry II and Catherine de médici, was born on the 19th of January, 1544.

Francis was a sickly boy, plagued with respiratory failure at a young age — which inventively stunted his growth and left him with deformed testicles. Regnier de la Planche, a close friend of Catherine de Medici, reported that Francis had ‘genital organs all constrained and blocked making him unable to perform’. Francis’ ill health also meant that he was less-knowledgeable than other noble kids his age, his tutors reported that he was ‘easily distracted’, despite this Francis still received an education befitting for the dauphin of France.

The infant prince was betrothed to Mary, Queen of Scots in an effort to help the Scottish defend themselves against the English. Henry II offered to extricate the Scottish in exchange for his sons betrothal. So, in July of 1548 Mary Landed along the French coast at St. Pol de Leon.

Mary became very caring to Francis, she reportedly treated Francis like a younger brother, and despite his limited abilities, encouraged his riding and outdoor activities.

Francis and Mary, both teenagers, were married on the 24th of April 1558 in in the cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris, by the Cardinal Archbishop of Rouen. Mary’s wedding dress was described by the courtier Pierre de Brantôme as ‘a hundred times more beautiful than a goddess of heaven … her person alone was worth a kingdom.’

On 30th of June 1559, Francis’ father (Henry II) was badly injured in a jousting accident. After a tough ten day battle Henry succumbed to sepsis and Francis was now King Francis II of France.

In mid-November of 1560 it was reported that the king had suffered from dizziness and a ringing in his ear. Days later the king collapsed and had a swelling ‘the size of a nut’. After weeks of suffering from seizures, and a painful abscess, which caused stabbing pains in his head, Francis died from an ear infection on the 5th of December, 1560, just over a year after his succession to the throne.

Na minha triste, quieta canção, Há um ar melancólico. Olharei profunda e longamente À perda incomparável, E com lágrimas amargas Vou passar meus melhores anos.

Surgindo o duro destino agora, Que o luto seja sentido É um golpe mais cruel Que o destino já tratou E então, meus olhos e coração! Eu vejo onde seu caixão se encontra?

Na alegria da minha primavera E na flor do meu jovem coração Eu sinto a mais profunda tristeza Da mágoa mais dolorosa. Nada agora meu coração pode sentir Além de arrependimento e desejo.

Ele que foi meu mais querido, Agora é minha dor. O dia que brilha mais claro Para mim é a noite mais escura. Nada agora é bom suficiente Para que eu sinta o desejo de ter.

No fundo dos meus olhos e coração Um retrato tem  seu lugar Que mostra ao mundo minha dor Na palidez de meu rosto. Pálido como violetas esmaecendo, O amor verdadeiro se torna sombra.

Na minha dor inusitada Não posso mais ficar quieta, Levantando vez ou outra Para afastar a minha doença. Todas as coisas boas e más Perderam o gosto que tinham.

E assim sempre fico, Seja em madeira ou prado. Seja ao amanhecer do dia Ou na sombra da noite. Meu coração sente incessável Tristeza por sua perda.

Às vezes me sentindo assim Sua imagem aparece para mim. O sorriso doce em seu rosto Numa nuvem acima eu vejo. E então subitamente Vejo seu caixão.

Quando deito, quieta, Dormindo em minha cama, O escuto falar comigo E posso sentir seu toque. No deveres de todo dia Ele sempre está comigo.

Nada parece bom para mim Se ele não estiver envolvido. Meu coração não concordará Se não estiver com ele. Me falta toda perfeição Em minha cruel depressão.

Devo terminar minha canção agora, Meu lamento triste deve terminar. Cuja letra deve mostrar Que amor verdadeiro não se pode fingir. E, apesar de estarmos separados, não para de crescer em meu coração.

Quotes I have assembled about Mary’s love for Francis II

“I can also assure you that Monseigneur the Dauphin cares for and loves her like his sweetheart, and it is easy to see that God has caused them to be born for each other. I often wish you were here to see them together.”

       - Anne de Montmorency, constable of France, in a letter to Marie de Guise on 30 March 1549

 “Her intimacy with her young playmates increased daily, and even in those early days it was noted that her affections inclined toward the Dauphin…”

       - Alexander Hastie Millar, Mary Queen of Scots: Her Life Story

 “All I can tell you is that I account myself one of the happiest women in the world.”

        - Mary, Queen of Scots, in a letter to her mother, Marie de Guise, on the morning of her wedding to Francis, 24th April 1558.

 “The youthful lovers, Francis and Mary, undisturbed by those cares for the future which were perplexing their advisers, enjoyed that sweet society which is only reserved for mortals so highly favored as they were.Their love, which had grown with their growth, was as true and steadfast as though it had sprung up between a poor shepherd and shepherdess in the green plains of Arcadia.”

        - Alexander Hastie Millar, Mary Queen of Scots: Her Life Story

 “ Immediately following her husband’s death she changed lodgings, withdrew herself from all company, and became so solitary, and exempt from all wordliness , that she doth not to this day see daylight.”

        - Quoting Nicolas Throckmorton’s letter to the Privy Council of Elizabeth I on December 31, 1560, twenty-five days after the death of Francis II

 “…Mary abandoned herself to passionate grief at the death of the king…She had lost the companion of her childhood, the husband who had loved her, and who had shared with her the happy intimacies of their charmed upbringing at the French court…Alone of the close companions of her youth, Francis had remained a part of her life, and to their childhood intimacy had been added the natural intimacy of husband and wife. Since the first moment of their meeting at St. Germain in October 1548, when the five-year-old Scottish queen had been solemnly presented to the four-year-old dauphin of France, and King Henry II had rejoiced over the immediate love which the children felt for each other, Mary and Francis had never been apart for more than a few months at a time. They had thus been united by over twelve years of continuous friendship and companionship, and all that happy memories can signify in the mind of a romantic and affectionate girl…Now she found herself bereft of a husband, with whom indeed she had led a far more prolonged and contented existence than the few short months she had spent with her mother since babyhood. It was small wonder that Mary gave herself up to transports of true grief.”

       - Antonia Fraser, Mary Queen of Scots

 ” Dulce meum terra tegit.” Translation: “The earth covers my sweet one” or “The earth hides my treasure”

       - Motto adopted by Mary, Queen of Scots, after the loss of her husband, Francis II.

 “Up till this moment Mary had shown admirable courage and resolution…but now that the die was cast, now that the ships were actually lying in the harbour of Calais, ready to take her away from all she had known and loved and held dear for the last thirteen years of what seemed to her like her whole life, Mary Stuart’s steadfast spirit deserted her…As the galleys surged forward toward the unknown coast of Scotland, Mary herself gazed again and again on the fast receding coast of France; clinging pathetically to that part of the ship which was still nearest to the French shores, she murmured over and over again in a voice broken with tears: ’ Adieu France! Adieu France !’; again and again she repeated the words, and as the shoreline gradually faded from her sight, her laments only increased in fervor. Still mingling with the sound of the wind and the oars of the sea, her tragic young voice could be heard, eternally uttering its farewell, melancholy and prophetic: ”Adieu France! Adieu France! Adieu donc, ma chere France…Je pense ne vous revoir jamais plus! ”

       - Antonia Fraser, Mary Queen of Scots

 "God will assist me, if He pleases, to bear what comes from Him with patience.”

       - Excerpt from Mary Stuart’s letter, Thanking the condolences he received after the death of her husband, Francis II.
