[Keroro]

Can we ask questions? (I suppose I just did. ) Whose wounds were they that Leo had to bandage? Did the King acompany Leo to a hospital, and he bandaged wounds while he was there?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Weren't the Wars of Religion being fought by this time? Was he wounded from battle or something?

 

[Steph]

Leonardo had to take care of wounds suffered by Francis, usually some head injuries.

They were not the result of battles.

It happened in Close Lucé, not in a hospital. And it happened several times.

 

[Keroro]

Hmm. Francis was taller than Leo, and banged his head on the ceiling of Close Luce. That's possibly my last guess.

 

[Steph]

Hmm. Francis was taller than Leo, and banged his head on the ceiling of Close Luce. That's possibly my last guess.

That's almost that... Francis was very tall (1m95 to 2m, which was very uncommon at the time), ans he banged his head. But not on the celing of Clos Lucé.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

There are conspiracy theories that Leonardo was gay. Maybe Frannie hit his head on the bottom of the table?

 

[Steph]

There are conspiracy theories that Leonardo was gay. Maybe Frannie hit his head on the bottom of the table?

Nope... François I considered Leonardo more like a father.

 

[sydhe]

Francois got injured as a result of jousting?

 

[Steph]

No, and hint, it's related to his height

 

[Keroro]

So, something in Clos Luce, which Francis hit his head on...

Leo is an inventor and artist, so there must have been something he was inventing or working on I guess. Perhaps a sculpture with a low hanging arm that Francis walked into. Francis would not have tried to get the helicopter to work would he? I can imagine that Kings of the time may have been interested in flight.

Did I say it was in Close Luce?

Not something invented by Leonardo

 

[Olav]

It happened in Close Lucé

Did I say it was in Close Luce?

What are you trying to say?

Not something invented by Leonardo

So he bumped his head in something invented by another person than Leonardo?

 

[Steph]

What are you trying to say?

Leonardo tended the wouds to the head in Close Lucé, when he was visited in Clos Lucé by François 1er, but François 1er did not bumped his head in Clos Lucé.

So he bumped his head in something invented by another person than Leonardo?

Invented is not really the proper word.

 

[Olav]

Time for some hints?

 

[Steph]

Where could François, who was very tall, could have bumped his head when going to see Leonardo?

 

[philippe]

Avignon?

 

[Steph]

I'll turn the hint another way... How did François go into Clos Lucé, the house where Leonardo was living ?

 

[innonimatu]

Coaches first became popular with some royalty in the 16th century...

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I imagine he could have walked through a door at one point.

 

[Steph]

No coaches, and it wasn't a door.

Other hint: François 1er wanted to go from his castle to Clos Lucé, which was close, and he wanted to go there when he wanted with some discretion.
