Excerpt from The French Renaissance
The government of Charles VIII. And Louis XII. Was patriarchal rather than despotic, but the essential absolutism of both monarchs is shown by the fact that their Italian expeditions were undertaken against the real interests of the nation, and at the prompting of favourite ministers.

Excerpt from The French Renaissance
It is very difficult, if not impossible, to detect the first manifestations of any intellectual movement. There were premonitions of the French Renaissance as far back as the days of Philip Vi.(1328-1349), the first prince of the Valois line, but these early blossoms were blighted before they had time to bear fruit, by the era of foreign conquest, civil war, and anarchy which began early in the fifteenth century, and it is customary and convenient to take the expedition of Charles VIII. to Italy in 1494 as marking the real beginning of the French Renaissance. We may even go further and, for the purpose of historical study, divide the whole movement into four sub-periods, terminating respectively at the death of Louis Xii.(1515), the death of Francis I.(1547), the Massacre of St. Bartholomew(1572), and the peace of Vervins (1598).
