Biography
French royalty, the youngest son of Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici. An attractive child, he was unfortunately scarred by smallpox at age eight, and had a slightly deformed spine. In 1574, following the death of his brother Charles IX of France and the accession of his other brother Henry III of France, he became heir to the throne. In 1576, he was made Duke of Anjou, Touraine, and Berry. In 1579, arrangements began to be made for marrying him to Elizabeth I of England. He was 24 and Elizabeth was 46. They flirted but he never married, dying 10 June 1584.

Sy Scholfield quotes "Histoire de la Maison Royale de France, et des grands officiers de la Couronne" by Anselme de Sainte-Marie, Ange de Sainte-Rosalie (libr. associés, 1726), p. 135: "né le lundi 18 mars 1554 [sic] à neuf heures trois quarts du matin." The year is a mistake: should be 1555.
