Claude was born on 13 October 1499, elder daughter of Louis XII of France and Anne, Duchess of Brittany. When she married Francis I, she brought Brittany with her - not as dowry but as sovereign duchess, a title she held suo jure. As Queen of France she stood in a delicate position: her duchy had long resisted absorption into the French crown, yet now she wore both crowns at once. She died on 26 July 1524, twenty-four years old.
