Francis, Duke of Anjou
Francis, Duke of Anjou and Alençon (''Hercule François''; 18 March 1555 – 10 June 1584), was the youngest son of Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici.
==Early years==
An attractive child, he was unfortunately scarred by smallpox at age eight, and his pitted face and slightly deformed spine did not suit his august birth name of ''Hercule'' ("Hercules" in English and Latin). He changed his name to Francis in honour of his late brother Francis II of France when he was confirmed.
In 1574, following the death of his brother Charles IX of France and the accession of his other brother Henry III of France, he became heir to the throne. In 1576, he was made Duke of Anjou, Touraine, and Berry.
In 1576, he negotiated the Edict of Beaulieu during the French Wars of Religion. In 1579, he was invited by William the Silent to become hereditary sovereign to the United Provinces. On 29 September 1580, the Dutch States General (with the exception of Zeeland and Holland) signed the Treaty of Plessis-les-Tours with the Duke, who would assume the title "Protector of the Liberty of the Netherlands" and become the sovereign.
