'''''Three Chords and The Truth''''' is the first album released by [[country]] music singer songwriter [[Sara Evans]]. It was released in 1998 on [[RCA Records]] Nashville and it produced four singles — "True Lies", the title track, and "Shame About That". Although all three of these singles charted on the [[Hot Country Songs]] chart, none reached the Top 40, making this the only album of her career not to produce any Top 40 hits.
'''René of Anjou''' ([[January 16]], [[1409]] &ndash; [[July 10]], [[1480]]), also known as René I of Naples and ''Good King René'' ([[French language|French]] ''Le bon roi René''), was [[Duke of Anjou]], [[Count of Provence]] (1434&ndash;1480), Count of [[Piedmont]], [[Duke of Bar]] (1430&ndash;1480), [[Duke of Lorraine]] (1431&ndash;1453), [[List of monarchs of Naples|King of Naples]] (1438&ndash;1442; titular 1442&ndash;1480), titular [[King of Jerusalem]] (1438&ndash;1480) and [[King of Aragon|Aragon]] (1466&ndash;1480) (including [[King of Sicily|Sicily]], [[Kingdom of Majorca|Majorca]], [[Corsica]]). He was father to [[Margaret of Anjou]], [[Queen Consort]] to King [[Henry VI of England]], a key figure in the [[Wars of the Roses]].

Sara Evans' first album consists of mostly traditional country. It was hailed by critics as one of the best albums of the year and made the critics top ten of the year lists for [[The Washington Post]], [[Billboard magazine|Billboard]], [[Dallas Morning News]], [[Request]], and [[Country Music People]] . The album itself as brought prestige and was nominated for many awards such as an [[Academy of Country Music]] Nomination for "Top New Female Vocalist." The video for the title track was nominated for "Country Video of the Year" by the 1998 [[Music Video Production Association]] and for "Best New Clip" at the 1997 Billboard Music Video Awards. In addition, Evans was named one of Country America's "Ten To Watch In 1998/Top 10 New Stars Of 1998."

==Three Chords and the Truth==
Louis II died in 1417, and his sons, together with their brother-in-law, afterwards Charles VII of France, were brought up under the guardianship of their mother. The elder, [[Louis III, Duke of Anjou|Louis III]], succeeded to the crown of Sicily and to the duchy of Anjou, René being known as the Count of [[Guise]]. By his marriage treaty (1419) with [[Isabella, Duchess of Lorraine|Isabel]], elder daughter of [[Charles II, Duke of Lorraine]], he became heir to the [[Duchy of Bar]], which was claimed as the inheritance of his mother Yolande, and, in right of his wife, heir to the [[Duchy of Lorraine]]. René, then only ten, was to be brought up in [[Lorraine (province)|Lorraine]] under the guardianship of Charles II and [[Louis, cardinal of Bar]], both of whom were attached to the [[Burgundian (party)|Burgundian]] party, but he retained the right to bear the arms of Anjou.

"'''Three Chords and the Truth'''" was the title-track and second single released from the album in 1997. It was the highest-peaking of the three singles released from ''Three Chords and the Truth'', reaching #44. The song was later featured on Sara Evans' compilation album, ''Feels Like Home''.


"Three Chords and the Truth" was accompanied by Sara Evans' first music video. In the video, she portrays the character in the song, following the storyline laid out in the lyrics. In addition to this, scenes of Evans singing in a field of wildflowers, in an old house, on a roadside billboard surrounded by trees, and outside of a barn are mixed in. The music video was ranked #71 on the 2008 version of CMT's 100 Greatest Videos.
He was far from sympathizing with the Burgundians, and, joining the French army at [[Reims]] in 1429, was present at the coronation of Charles VII. When [[Louis of Bar]] died in 1430 René came into sole possession of his duchy, and in the next year, on his father-in-law's death, he succeeded to the duchy of Lorraine. But the inheritance was claimed by the heir-male, [[Antoine de Vaudemont]], who with Burgundian help defeated René at [[Bulgneville]] in July 1431. The Duchess Isabel effected a truce with Antoine de Vaudemont, but the duke remained a prisoner of the Burgundians until April 1432, when he recovered his liberty on parole on yielding up as hostages his two sons, [[John II, Duke of Lorraine|Jean]] and [[Louis of Anjou, Marquis of Pont-à-Mousson|Louis of Anjou]].

==References==
His title as duke of Lorraine was confirmed by his [[suzerain]], the [[Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Emperor Sigismund]], at [[Basel]] in 1434. This proceeding roused the anger of the Burgundian duke, [[Philip the Good]], who required him early in the next year to return to his prison, from which he was released two years later on payment of a heavy ransom. He had succeeded to the throne of the [[Kingdom of Naples]] through the deaths of his brother Louis III and of [[Joan II of Naples|Joan II]], queen of Naples, the last heir of the earlier dynasty. Louis had been adopted by her in 1431, and she now left her inheritance to René.

The marriage of [[Marie de Bourbon]], niece of Philip of Burgundy, with [[John, duke of Calabria]], René's eldest son, cemented peace between the two princes. After appointing a [[Regent|regency]] in Bar and Lorraine, he visited his provinces of Anjou and Provence, and in 1438 set sail for Naples, which had been held for him by the Duchess Isabel.


[[Image:Aix - le roi René.jpg|thumb|240px|Statue of King René, [[Aix-en-Provence]].]]


René's captivity, and the poverty of the Angevin resources due to his ransom, enabled [[Alfonso V of Aragon]], who had been first adopted and then repudiated by Joan II, to make some headway in the kingdom of Naples, especially as he was already in possession of the island of Sicily. In 1441 Alfonso laid siege to Naples, which he sacked after a six-month siege. René returned to France in the same year, and though he retained the title of king of Naples his effective rule was never recovered. Later efforts to recover his rights in [[Italy]] failed. His mother Yolande, who had governed Anjou in his absence, died in 1442. René took part in the negotiations with the English at [[Tours]] in 1444, and peace was consolidated by the marriage of his younger daughter, [[Margaret of Anjou|Margaret]], with [[Henry VI of England]] at [[Nancy]].

René now made over the government of Lorraine to John, Duke of Calabria, who was, however, only formally installed as Duke of Lorraine on the death of Queen Isabel in 1453. René had the confidence of Charles VII, and is said to have initiated the reduction of the men-at-arms set on foot by the king, with whose military operations against the English he was closely associated. He entered [[Rouen]] with him in November 1449, and was also with him at [[Battle of Formigny|Formigny]] and [[Caen]].

After his second marriage with [[Jeanne de Laval]], daughter of [[Guy XIV, Count of Laval]], and [[Isabel of Brittany]], René took a less active part in public affairs, and devoted himself more to artistic and literary pursuits. The fortunes of his house declined in his old age: in 1466, the rebellious [[Catalonia]]ns offered the crown of Aragon to René, and the Duke of Calabria, unsuccessful in Italy, was sent to take up the conquest of that kingdom. However, he died, apparently by poison, at [[Barcelona]] on [[December 16]], [[1470]]. The Duke of Calabria's eldest son Nicholas perished in 1473, also under suspicion of poisoning. In 1471, René's daughter [[Margaret of Anjou|Margaret]] was finally defeated in the [[War of the Roses]]. Her [[Henry VI of England|husband]] and her [[Edward of Westminster|son]] were killed and she herself became a prisoner and had to be ransomed by [[Louis XI of France]] in 1476.

[[René II, Duke of Lorraine]], Rene's grandson and only surviving male descendant, was gained over to the party of Louis XI, who suspected the king of Sicily of complicity with his enemies, the [[Francis II, Duke of Brittany|Duke of Brittany]] and the [[Constable Saint-Pol]].

René retired to Provence, and in 1474 made a will by which he left Bar to his grandson René II, Duke of Lorraine; Anjou and Provence to his nephew [[Charles, count of Le Maine]]. King Louis XI seized Anjou and Bar, and two years later sought to compel René to exchange the two duchies for a pension. The offer was rejected, but further negotiations assured the lapse to the crown of the duchy of Anjou, and the annexation of Provence was only postponed until the death of the Count of Le Maine. René died on [[July 10]], [[1480]] in [[Aix-en-Provence]]. He was buried in the [[cathedral of Angers]].

His charities having earned him the title of "the good." He founded an order of chivalry, the ''[[Ordre du Croissant]]'', which preceded the royal foundation of St Michael, but did not survive René.

==René and the arts==

The King of Sicily's fame as an amateur painter<ref>A letter from the Neapolitan [[Renaissance humanism|humanist]] [[Pietro Summonte]] to Marcantonio Michiel, of 20 March 1524, reporting on the state of art in Naples, and works there by Netherlandish painters, states that "King René was also a skilled painter and was very keen on the study of the discipline, but according to the [[Early Netherlandish painting|style of Flanders]]"; the letter was published by Fausto Niccolini, ''L'arte napoletana del Rinascimento'' (Naples) 1925:161-63. It is translated in Carol M. Richardson, Kim Woods and Michael W. Franklin, ''Renaissance Art Reconsidered: An Anthology of Primary Sources'' (2007:193-96).</ref> formerly led to the optimistic attribution to him of many paintings in Anjou and Provence, in many cases simply because they bore his arms. These works are generally in the [[Early Netherlandish painting|Early Netherlandish]] style, and were probably executed under his patronage and direction, so that he may be said to have formed a school of the fine arts in sculpture, painting, goldsmith's work and tapestry. He employed [[Barthélemy d'Eyck]] as both painter and ''[[varlet de chambre]]'' for most of his career.
[[Image:Nicolas Froment 004.jpg|thumb|250px|right||Detail of the ''Burning Bush'' triptych, showing René and Jeanne de Laval]]
Two of the most famous works formerly attributed to René are the [[triptych]] of the ''Burning Bush'' of [[Nicolas Froment]] of [[Avignon]], in the cathedral of Aix, showing portraits of René and his second wife, Jeanne de Laval, and an illuminated [[Book of Hours]] in the [[Bibliothèque nationale de France|Bibliothèque nationale]], [[Paris]]. Among the men of letters attached to his court was [[Antoine de la Sale]], whom he made tutor to his son, the Duke of Calabria. He encouraged the performance of [[mystery play]]s; on the performance of a mystery of the [[Passion (Christianity)|Passion]] at [[Saumur]] in 1462 he remitted four years of taxes to the town, and the representations of the Passion at [[Angers]] were carried out under his auspices.

He exchanged verses with his kinsman, the poet [[Charles of Orleans]]. The best of his poems is the ''idyl of Regnault and Jeanneton'', representing his own courtship of Jeanne de Laval. ''[[Le Livre des tournois]]'', a book of ceremonial, and the allegorical romance, "Conquests qu'un chevalier nommé le Cuer d'amour espris feist d'une dame appelée Doulce Mercy", with other works ascribed to him, were perhaps dictated to his secretaries, or at least compiled under his direction.
