Valois, a name that echoes through history and spans across different realms. From the reign of King Francis I of France to the picturesque landscapes of Valais, Switzerland, this word holds tales of power, love, and artistry. In the 16th century, King Francis I of France brought about a cultural renaissance in his kingdom. His patronage supported artists like Leonardo da Vinci and helped shape the artistic landscape we know today. The train from Zermatt approaching Gornergrat Station in Valais presents an awe-inspiring view of the Matterhorn, showcasing nature's majestic beauty intertwined with human ingenuity. The Hundred Years War marked a tumultuous period for Europe from 1337 to 1453. In this battle-scarred era, miniatures emerged as a way to capture historical events. These intricate artworks depict valiant warriors fighting for their cause during this prolonged conflict. Berets by Rose Valois add a touch of fashion to our journey through time. This iconic headwear has become synonymous with French culture and style over the years. Shakespeare immortalized Catherine de Valois in his play "King Henry V. " The steel engraving by W. F. Yeames captures King Henry wooing Princess Katharine of France (Catherine de Valois), showcasing romance amidst political alliances. Ninette De Valois graces our narrative as both ballerina and choreographer. Her contributions to dance have left an indelible mark on the world stage. Henry III was part of House Valois-Angouleme and ruled as king over France during turbulent times. His reign witnessed significant political changes that shaped European history. Philip III Duke of Burgundy earned himself the moniker "the Good" due to his wise governance during his rule from 1396-1467. Louis XI's death colored history with its significance; it marked not only an end but also new beginnings for France.
