visits to it, and his court at Angers became one of the most brilliant in the kingdom of France. But after the sudden death of his son <a href="/wiki/John_II,_Duke_of_Lorraine" title="John II, Duke of Lorraine">John</a> in December 1470, René, for reasons which are not altogether clear, decided to move his residence to <a href="/wiki/Provence" title="Provence">Provence</a> and leave Anjou for good. After making an inventory of all his possessions, he left the duchy in October 1471, taking with him the most valuable of his treasures. On 22 July 1474 he drew up a will by which he divided the succession between his grandson <a href="/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_II,_Duke_of_Lorraine" title="René II, Duke of Lorraine">René II of Lorraine</a> and his nephew Charles II, count of Maine. On hearing this, <a href="/wiki/Louis_XI_of_France" class="mw-redirect" title="Louis XI of France">King Louis XI</a>, who was the son of one of King René's sisters, seeing that his expectations were thus completely frustrated, seized the duchy of Anjou. He did not keep it very long, but became reconciled to René in 1476 and restored it to him, on condition, probably, that René should bequeath it to him. However that may be, on the death of the latter (10 July 1480) he again added Anjou to the royal domain.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHalphen1911_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHalphen1911-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Later, <a href="/wiki/Francis_I_of_France" title="Francis I of France">King Francis I</a> again gave the duchy as an appanage to his mother, Louise of Savoy, by letters patent of 4 February 1515.
