Henry adored his children. One day took place in the Louvre a scene representing the pictorial representation of the engraver, another story that had to be captured on film:
The English ambassador enters the room of the king, wherever he is asked for an audience. He has dressed for this important occasion with care, the Sword flashed at his side, the chain of orders rocks on his chest, his hat in his hand, he remains puzzled on the threshold:
Heinrich is not located behind his desk but crawls on all fours, the little Louis on his back across the room .
"Do you have children, Mr. Ambassador?"
"Certainly, sire."
"In this case, I can end the round," said the king met and adopted the practice of riding again.
Henri is perhaps not an ideal husband, but as a father is irreplaceable, tender and attentive even the most important affairs of state can not keep him from his children - the his father and not, as was customary at that time with "Monsieur" to respond to, walk, play and chat.
Henry takes part in the daily lives of his children, is currently in their meals and is concerned if the children are sick.
"I am concerned," he wrote in 1608, "because my children like a hospital room: My daughter has measles Verneuil, my son Orléans the whooping cough. Yesterday we had the Dauphin vomit twice, and now even my daughter starts with Fieberr ... Admit that I am a certified father.
His training methods are by nature interdisciplinary, as he has been raised as a child. The Dauphin has to the Tail use, he finds, "because he has a thick skull ... Did mother Gla (Madame Montglat) Spanking my son to properly? You should do it because I moved too many hiding what got me very good. "
a day gets the prince (Louis XIII.) For having a poor sparrow crushed her head to feel the rod, keeping the Queen (Marie de Medici) to be excessive.
"Madame answered her the king," a prayer sent to heaven that I live long. If I'm not even that he is mistreating you, "
strange premonitions that later - not without reason - required to keep. In the castle of Saint-Germain
most of his children were educated simultaneous. Also, the illegitimate children of his mistresses. The king insisted that the three children of Gabrielle d'Estrees , two of Henriette d'Entragues and two of Jaqueline de Bueil of Essarts and Charlotte - are brought up with the children who presented him with Maria de Medici: the heir Louis , Elizabeth, later Queen of Spain, who was born in 1602, Christine of France, born in 1606 and future Duchess of Savoy, Nicolas, who lived from 1607 to 1611 nru, Gaston of Orléans, born in 1608, his brother, the future Louis XIII., will make life difficult, and finally Henry who will only see the light of day in 1609 and Charles should get married I of England. This "small military unit of Saint-Germain, as Mary is called the little people from five different mothers!
