Something wrong?He earned two nicknames - "the Cunning" and "the Universal Spider" - by turning betrayal into statecraft. Louis XI spent his reign spinning webs: he rebelled against his father, fled to his father's greatest enemy, then returned to dismantle that enemy's duchy piece by piece.

He was hosted there by Philip the Good, his father's greatest rival, and stayed until Charles VII died. As king, his ceaseless scheming earned him the label "the Universal Spider" from enemies who watched him weave plots across Europe. In 1475 he signed the Treaty of Picquigny with Edward IV, formally ending the Hundred Years' War and cutting Charles the Bold off from English support. When Charles died at Nancy in 1477, Louis seized Burgundy, Picardy, and other territories from the extinct ducal line. He spent his final years crushing rebellious vassals and centralizing power, dying on 30 August 1483 and leaving the throne to his minor son, Charles VIII.
