The Newlyweds Were a Cause For Concern
France was actually insolvent. Right after the wedding ceremony, Charles and his bride kicked out all of the Scottish guests because they didn’t have enough money to stay after the ceremony. When the Scottish family discovered the tragic reality, they were shocked, but it was too late. Not only that, but Margaret was in for another unpleasant revelation. King Charles had a strong attraction to the young Margaret. We hope it was paternal, but there is no indication of the nature of this “care”. This made Louis want to despise, and eventually detest, his new bride even more. The wedding was completely doomed from the start. Their youthful age was such a source of concern that medieval doctors advised them to avoid consummation. Margaret decided to take matters into her own hands.

Louis Was Busy Plotting Against His Father
It is unsurprising that Louis’ nasty actions and total disdain for his new wife soured her feelings toward him. In fact, she began to loathe him, often siding with her father-in-law. According to sources, Margaret also knotted her corsets as tightly as possible to avoid becoming pregnant. Louis wasn’t interested in consummating their marriage because he had other, darker plans. As the little prince entered his adolescence, he developed into a vengeful villain with a grudge against his father. In 1440, things reached a climax between father and son, and all hell broke out. Louis, 16, led a rebellion against his father after rallying noble sympathizers. Unfortunately for Louis, his craving for power and determination to take action against his father, their King, backfired miserably.
