https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/henri-iv-and-the-spanish-ambassador-209368 > Exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1827–1828. The subject is taken from an anecdote (probably apocryphal) related in the Mémorial pittoresque de la France (1786) concerning Henri IV (1553–1610), King of France from 1589, one of the most able and popular of French monarchs. At Fontainebleau in 1604 the King was playing with the Dauphin, letting him ride on his back, when an ambassador arrived to discover the conqueror of the Catholic League and the Monarch of France in this undignified position. The worthy Henri, without getting up, stopped and said, Have you any children, Ambassador? > Yes, Sire. > Then I may finish my trip round the room.’
Was Henry IV probably the best king the French ever had?
Awww cute! I love little tidbits of information like this because it humanises historical figures and makes you realise they weren’t just fictional characters playing a narrative. They were real people with real lives and families. And on a side note. I did not expect to see Miko in a HistoryMemes post.
