"Le jour de la Conversion de saint Paul 1515, mon fils fut oint et sacré en l'église de Rheims. Pour-ce, suis-je bien tenue et obligée à la divine misericorde, par laquelle j'ay esté amplement recompensée de toutes les adversités et inconveniens qui m'estoient advenues en mes premiers ans, et en la fleur de ma jeunesse. Humilité m'a tenu compagnie, et patience ne m'a jamais abandonnée."
"On the day of Saint Paul's conversion in 1515, my son was anointed and crowned in the cathedral at Rheims. For this, I am much beholden and obligated to divine mercy, by which I have been amply rewarded for all the adversities and hindrances which befell me during my early years and the flowering of my youth. Humility kept me company, and patience never abandoned me."
Louise de Savoye, mother of François I
