Count Charles of Valois, father of the Czech Queen Blanka and father-in-law of the future Czech king and Roman Emperor Charles IV, was a generous patron of the arts and literature. The literary works he commissioned, such as the glorifying epic ‚Charlemagne‘, whom the Count of Valois considered a forerunner and role model, also influenced his son-in-law. The article analyses two works written for Charles of Valois: the Roman de Fauvel (1317–1322) and the Masked Fox (Renard le Contrefait, 1319–1324). These works are considered ‚sovereign mirrors‘ of good and bad government. The text contains an intense criticism of idleness and adultery, a direct reaction to the affair of the royal princesses (the wives of the future French kings Louis X and Charles IV the Fair), which was discovered and severely punished in 1314. Charles of Valois used the event for his propagandistic purposes.
