On the 18th March 1555, Francis, Duke of Anjou, was born in France. Francis, Duke of Anjou and Alençon, was the youngest son of Henry II of France and Catherine de Medici. In the movie Elizabeth, released in 1998, depicts a fictional courtship between Elizabeth I of England and Henry III whilst he was still Duke of Anjou, older brother of Francis. In reality, the two never met and the Queen of England was actually courted nearly ten years later by his younger brother Francis, Duke of Anjou when Elizabeth was 46. The movie borrows some of the aspects of Henry IIIs life and features Anjou as a comical foolish transvestite. The role is portrayed by French actor Vincent Cassel.
