It is possible that Fran莽ois is an appellative of nationality (like Britto in reference to Cardinal Guibé because he was from Bretagne) and that it is indicative of his French origin. In ancient French, "oi" was what now is "ai", therefore, Fran莽ois was the equivalent to the current Fran莽ais. (2) At the first news of the death of the cardinal, King Louis XII of France wrote to the cathedral chapter of Auch on June 19, 1507, asking that they suspend any nomination until the arrival of Louis de Narbonne, bishop of Vabres; the abb茅 de Lodève; and sieur de Veruzan, who would inform the chapter of the king's intentions. Eubel, Hierarchia Catholica Medii et Recentioris Aevi, III, 11, says that he died in June 1507; the same source, III, 273, says that he died in July 1507. (3) This is the text of his epitaph taken from Bouchet, "Le Panegyric du Seigneur Loys de La Trimoille, dit le Chevalier sans Reproche" in J.A.C.

(1) While the new cardinal was travelling to Viterbo, where the pope was, a courier arrived bringing news to the pope concerning the income of the benefices possessed by the cardinals in France. The king of France had just published a law establishing that, in the future, the rents were not going to be paid to the cardinals if they were absent, even if they were French. When the pope learned of this disposition, he did not admit Cardinal d'Amboise in consistory or in his presence until the law was revoked.
