The central question we will work hard to answer in this course will be "What makes Francois I such an important leaders in European history?" Francois chose to rule his country in a way that was markedly different than any of his predecessors', so what exactly set him apart and what can we learn about his leadership style? In attempting to answer these questions, we will learn about a number of different leadership styles, read from a number of texts that bear upon questions of leadership, texts from classical antiquity and texts from Francois' own time. And during our trip overseas, we will walk in this leader's footsteps, retracing the paths he walked when a boy, a young man at court, and finally when king. We will examine the ways he used writers and painters to bring a sense of refinement to his court, his land, and to his own image as a great ruler. We will examine the way he navigated the turbulent political waters churned up by the often violent struggle between the Protestants and the Catholics. And we will try to understand his fascination with conquering the Italian states, which proved to be so destructive to himself and to his country. Pre-requisites: None. Additional Fees: $2,050 Instructor: Richard Erable
