Between Two Kings
“Henri was the second son of King François I of France and became the Dauphin of France upon the death of his elder brother Dauphin François III, Duke of Brittany, in 1536.
Dauphin Henri was a young handsome man with wide spaced, ink black eyes. He didn’t have the Valois long patrician nose. His short hair matched the color of his eyes and fell in sensual curls around his face. His face was the face of a naive young man, but beneath it was the powerful and well-defined body of a man. His fea...tures were neither soft nor stern.
In contrast to King François and his elder deceased brother Dauphin François, who looked like prominent patricians and had the stately bearing of a king, and used it to their own advantage, Henri definitely lacked his father’s regal air. Yet, Henri was a very serious and concentrated man. The time in the Spanish prison spent with his elder brother appeared to have changed his spirit, but not broken it. Henri was a young man just barely out of boyhood, but he wasn’t a carefree person and he could resist everyone and everything just for the sheer pleasure of it.MoreLess
