Coin France LOUIS XII - LUDOVICUS, 1st TYPE - PARIS

Louis XII, born in 1462 at the Castle of Blois and died in 1515 at Paris, nicknamed the "Father of the People" by the Estates General of 1506, was King of France from 1498 to 1515. His reign was particularly marked by the Italian wars, which ended with the defeat of Novare in 1513 and, on domestic level, the reform of Justice and taxes. His image was taught after his death as a symbol of a moderate monarchy, relying on the Estates General, in contrast to absolute monarchy.
