King of France

The King of France (フランス王) is one of the reigning kings during latter half of the Hundred Years' War. During his early years, he was not a favored successor for his father and was even ridiculed as "The Small King of Bourges". He was able to salvage his reputation and gain prominence within the court by using Joan of Arc, La Hire and Gilles de Rais's victories within the war to his advantage.

Role in Game
The King of France's appearance is limited to key battles against the English forces in Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War. Despite his presence in the front lines, rarely does he advance without an escort to guarantee his safety.

Personality
An intelligent, learned individual, his manner gives the impression that he can read anyone's mind. He strongly dislikes impulsive acts and always acts after carefully analyzing the situation at hand. However, he has been known to treat his subordinates as expendable pawns for the well-being of France. This is best demonstrated by his inaction to save Joan and demoting Arthur de Richemont who had been framed for treachery.
