| Francis II, drawing by Francois Clouet | ||||||||||||||
| 1544�60, king of France (1559�60), son of King Henry II and Catherine de� Medici. He married (1558) Mary Queen of Scots (Mary Stuart), and during his brief reign the government was in the hands of her uncles, Fran�ois and Charles de Guise. Their ruthless persecution of Protestantism led to the conspiracy of Amboise (1560), an attempt to remove the Guises from power. During Francis�s reign French Protestantism became a political force. Francis was succeeded by his brother, Charles IX. | ||||||||||||||
