Louis X, called The Headstrong (1289-1316), king of France (1314-16), the son
of Philip IV. Influenced by his uncle, Charles de Valois, he was preoccupied
for much of his short reign with unrest among his nobles, to whom he granted
charters confirming their privileges, and with an indecisive campaign against
Flanders that he led in 1315. Louis's posthumous son, John I, born in 1316,
died shortly after his birth, and the succession went to Louis's brother,
Philip V.
