As a monarchist state developed and stabilized, a centralization of realpower took place, evolving towards an absolute monarchy. A new life in the court is established, inspired from the end of the 15th century by Princess Anne of Beaujeu, daughter ofLouis XI, and by Anne of Brittany, remarried to Louis of Orleans, crowned with the name LouisXII. He marries his daughter Claude de France to the Duke Francis of Valois-Angoulême, whowill reign under the name of Francis I. Thanks to the artistic and cultural achievements of theRenaissance and to the ambition of the king, a new nobility is born, which lives in the courtand participates in the magnificence that surrounds the royal family. The court has become apolitical body and an instrument of power. It is also a school of discipline and behaviour. WithHenry II and Catherine de Medici, the pomp and splendour reached its zenith. The regent,after the death of the king, kept up with the conveniences and good tone in the court duringthe reign of her three children. But it will be the last, Henry III, who finally defined courtprotocol and its rigid rules, which last until the expiry of the French monarchy in 1789. PB Universidad de La Laguna.
