In 1498 the son of Duke Charles and grandson of Duke Louis succeeded to the French throne as Louis XII. He had been born in the château, and from his coronation until the end of the 16th century, Blois was almost a second capital of France. Under Henry III, the States-General twice met there. At the second of the two meetings most of the deputies supported the Catholic League and its leader, Henri de Guise, who had been plotting with Spain to take the throne. Henry III, fearing deposition, had Guise murdered on the second floor of the château, Dec. 23, 1588. The queen mother, Catherine de Médicis, died a few days later in a room just below. Marie de Médicis was imprisoned there by her son, Louis XIII, but escaped after two years of luxurious confinement. In 1626 the same Louis sent his brother, Gaston de France, duc d'Orléans, to Blois, inviting him to redesign the château. The classical wing designed by François Mansart was the result. The château, begun as a feudal castle, displays splendid work of all the architectural periods from the 13th to the 17th century. The main hall, where the States-General met, is 13th century; the Charles d'Orléans Gallery is mid-15th, while the Chapelle Saint-Calais and the Louis XII Wing (1498–1503) mark the transition between Gothic and Renaissance. The Francis I facade (1515–24) is pure Renaissance, and its extraordinary staircase spirals five stories upward in a sculptured octagonal case.
