Monarch of the House of Valois who ascended to the French throne at age 15, ruling for just one year before his death (1544–1560). Rare royal vellum document signed during his extremely short reign, in French,“Francoys,” one page, 17.5 x 9.75, Rheims, September 16, 1559. The document, written to “Our friends and faithful keepers of our accounts at Paris,” states in full (translated): “The young King Francis II corrects an error in the amount of 100 pounds made in the accounting records of ‘the exploits and fines of our court of aides’ in Paris…you because the expenditure was found to exceed the receipts, have crossed out the sum of one hundred pounds Parisian written there and employed under the name of the said Dubois to whom the late King our very honored Lord and Father whom God may absolve had given it for the causes…it had been ordered to make pay and deliver to the said Dubois the said sum of c l p [100 pounds Parisian] generally of the monies coming from the said King, one year bearing the other.” In very good condition, with three vertical storage folds (one passing through a single letter of the signature), overall soiling, and a significant repaired cut to the lower right; the signature remains bold and prominent. This is just the second Francis II item we have ever offered.
