Indeed Marignan (he was made prisoner at Pavie).
I found this on the net:
Detail of a drawing of the Battle of Marignan. Assigned to the Maître de la Ratière. Milan, around 1515, In the Library and archives in the Castle of Chantilly (north of Paris).

Not Pavia, MarignanNobody really knows which armor Francois did wear
The idea comes from a later painting with the lilies of France and the F for François
Some even wonder if François did really fight at Marignan
He was there but did he fight ?

I really like the illustrations of the manuscript "Le Voyage de Gênes". It shows some very interesting details.
Sadly no flats edited till now really based on these.
If you are interested here´s the link for some more:

YES !!
Louis XII leaving Alessandria to attack Genoa, by Jean Bourdichon
King of France Louis XII in 1507 riding out of the fortress of Alexandria with his army, in order to retake the city of Genoa, which had rebelled against him (January to May 1507 campaign). Fifth illuminated miniature in the manuscript Le Voyage de Gênes (ca.1500), by Jean Marot (ca.1450 - ca.1526). The motto "NON UTITUR ACULEO REX CUI PAREMUR" means "the King whom we obey does not use his sting", referring to the ancient Classical belief (Pliny, Seneca) that a colony of bees (or wasps) was ruled by a benign king bee in an ideal society. Thus bees and a wickerwork skep are embroidered on his tunic, to suggest to his rebellious subjects in Genoa that if they will come back to order no harm will befall them. The royal heraldic badge of the porcupine is shown embroidered on the tunics of two of his retinue who precede him. A porcupines was the usual personal symbol of king Louis XII.
King of France
from 1498 to 1515 and
King of Naples
from 1501 to 1504. The son of
Charles, Duke of Orléans
, and
Maria of Cleves
, he succeeded his cousin
Charles VIII
, who died without a closer heir in 1498. Before his accession to the throne of France, he was known as Louis of Orléans.

These are great and I love the heraldry on these!
Is that beehives and bees on Louix XII - which I have in the back of the memory somewhere?
