Louis X (4 October 1289 – 5 June 1316), known as the Quarrelsome (French: le Hutin), was King of France from 1314 and King of Navarre as Louis I from 1305 until his death. He freed Serfs who couldn't buy their freedom and allowed Jews into the Kingdom. His short reign was marked by tensions with the Nobility, due to economic reforms started during the reign of his father Philip IV. He was succeeded by his son John I.
Louis inherited the Kingdom of Navarre from his mother Joan on 4 April 1305 and was coronated on 1 October 1307. Louis' first wife would be found guilty of infidelity during the Tour de Nesle affair.
He died on 5 June 1316 from either pneumonia or pleurisy after a game of real tennis and was buried in the Basilica of Saint-Denis where his effigy still exists.
