Monsieur François, Duke of Anjou and Alençon (French: Hercule François; 18 March 1555 [1] – 10 June 1584) was the youngest son of King Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici. Early years [ edit ]
In 1360, the county was raised to a dukedom becoming known as Duke of Anjou, subsequently leading the Duchy of Anjou. The title was held by Philip V of Spain before his accession in 1700. Since then, some Spanish Legitimist claimants to the French throne have borne the title even to the present day, as does a nephew of the Orléanist pretender.
In 1552 it was given as an appanage by Henry II to his son Henry of Valois, who, on becoming king in 1574, with the title of Henry III, conceded it to his brother Francis, duke of Alençon, at the treaty of Beaulieu near Loches (6 May 1576). Francis died on 10 June 1584, and the vacant appanage definitively became part of the royal domain. [6]

The position of Anjou after this attack became untenable and he left the country in June 1583. His departure also discredited William the Silent , who had always supported Anjou. The city was eventually conquered by the Spanish under Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma after the Siege of Antwerp (1584-1585) .
