The Craziest King in French History — Charles VI

He was one of the most powerful kings in Europe. Then one day, he forgot who he was. Charles VI, King of France, believed he was made of glass — terrified that if anyone touched him, he would shatter into pieces. He ran screaming through his palace for hours. He attacked his own knights, killing four of them in broad daylight. He forgot he had a wife. He forgot he had children. He forgot he was the King of France. And while he descended into madness, his kingdom collapsed around him. This is the story of Charles VI — the king historians call the maddest ruler in the entire history of France. 🔔 Subscribe for more French history — the stories they never taught you in school 👇 Who was the most tragic French king?
