An Ode to Francis, Who Will Forever Be Reign's Sexiest King

Updated on Nov 18, 2015 at 1:00 AM

If you're not caught up on Reign, stop reading. Everyone else, let's mourn together. King Francis finally perishes, and even the cast is devastated. Sure, we've been rooting for the very sexy Bash since day one, but Francis has a special place in our hearts. Now that he's gone, we don't know if we can ever watch Reign without thinking something extremely important is missing. While we're still holding out hope that Francis will return in dream sequences and/or flashbacks, let's celebrate the king's life with 10 moments in which he made our hearts grow three sizes.

When He Bows His Head Ever So Slightly

It speaks volumes, doesn't it?

When He Becomes a One-Woman Man For Mary

He loves her so much that it hurts.

When He Perfects the Medieval Mic-Drop

Eat your heart out, Catherine.

When He Says Inspiring Stuff

If only his own destiny wasn't so bleak.

When He's Really Just a Teenager Whose Mom Is Embarrassing

"Mom, stop. I'm the king."

When He Falls to the Ground Dramatically

So. Much. Drama.

When He Makes Blinking Look So Damn Sexy

It's not like something is just in his eye. He's blinking with purpose.

When the Corners of His Mouth Magically Lift

And that scruff.

When He's in His Manly Nightgown

He's just a cool, casual king.

Finally, When He's Madly in Love With His Queen

Mary will never recover from this.

Ugh, He's So Beautiful

We'll miss you, Francis.
