Louis XI of France (1461-1483), who succeeded to the throne upon his father’s death in July 1461, was crowned on 15 August 1461.
He received this manuscript from the Florentine ambassadors on 2 January 1462. His name is inscribed within the dedication medallion (fol. 1v) and at the start of the author’s prologue addressed to the king (fol. 2r).
