The French Assassins were a branch of Assassins located in France, who most notably worked to prevent the Templars from infiltrating the Royal Court.
History
In the early 16th century, King Louis XII had left Paris and quarrelled with Ferdinand II over the ownership of Naples, leaving his foreign ministers in charge. These men were Borgia-bought, and targeted the religious reformist Desiderius Erasmus.
To escape the plague, Erasmus planned to hire a carriage out of town, though the Templars disguised themselves as travellers and offered him a ride. With Erasmus' life in danger, the French Assassins and a team of Ezio Auditore's Italian apprentices tracked them down, and with coordinated shots, they killed all of the guards. After rescuing Erasmus, he told them that the Templars were holding another Assassin captive.
Following this, the Assassins tried to find their fellow brother-in-arms, who was captured by Templars working for the Borgia. A group of Italian Assassins sent from Rome by Ezio were able to receive information from corrupted ministers about the Assassin's whereabouts, and they tracked down Archbishop Georges d'Amboise, before interrogating him. He revealed the names of Templar associated ministers, whom the Assassins later killed and buried.
After that, the Italian Assassins rescued the French Assassin from the manor he was held in, but he eventually succumbed to his wounds. However, the Assassin had been brave enough to reveal only fake information under torture. He also warned his rescuers to be weary of the Orsini, who had ties with the Templars.[1][2]
In 1511, King Louis XII became tired of Marseille's threats of secession, motivated by the French Assassins, and ordered his army to banish all Assassins from the city. Aided by Ottoman Assassins sent from Constantinople by Ezio Auditore, the combined Assassins hindered the army's efforts, though without violence.[3]
