A simple thread - we have similar threads about England, so, who do you think the best and worst pre-Napoleonic rulers of France were?

Some of the Best:
Francois I
Henri IV
Louis XIV
Worst:
Charles IX, he was more or less his mother's puppet and completely unable to stand up for his people.
Louis XV, he pretty much threw France and his heir under the bus for his own pleasures.
