King Louis X of France, also known as Louis the Quarreler, was born in 1289 and became king in 1314. He was the son of King Philip IV and ruled until his death in 1316. His reign was marked by conflicts with the nobility and issues related to the French monarchy's authority. Louis X is notable for being the first French king to issue a decree that abolished slavery in France. His short reign ended when he died unexpectedly, leading to a succession crisis. He was succeeded by his son, John I of France, who was only a few days old at the time.
