This medal was presented to the sovereigns by the city of Lyon in 1499, when they entered the city on March 15, 1500. It was produced by several Lyon artists: Nicolas Leclerc, Jean de Saint-Priest, Jean and Colin Lepère. Anne de Bretagne married Charles VIII in 1491. But she remained Duchess and Sovereign of Brittany. Then, in 1498, Charles VIII died accidentally. Anne returned to her duchy. In 1499, Anne became Queen of France again, marrying Louis XII, who had hastily repudiated his first wife. The duchy remained separate from the crown. Finally, in 1514, Anne de Bretagne died and her daughter, Claude de France, inherited the duchy. She married François d'Angoulême, the future François I. In 1532, Claude ceded her duchy to the crown. François I had this definitive union of Brittany and France ratified by the Parliament of Vannes. A bronze medal depicting the King and Queen Louis XII and Anne of Brittany, 1498-1515
