See also:Louise brought her children to the See also:court, and received See also:Amboise as her See also:residence

She lived henceforth in fear lest Louis should have a son; and in consequence there was a See also:secret rivalry between her and the See also:queen, See also:Anne of See also:Brittany

She was then given the See also:title of "Madame." From 1515 to her death, she took the See also:chief See also:share in the See also:government
