History and legend has given René the title "Good King René of Provence", though he only lived in Provence in the last ten years of his life, from 1470 to 1480, and his political policies of territorial expansion were costly and unsuccessful.
Ajalugu ja legend andis Renéle tiitli "hea Provence'i kuningas René", kuigi ta ainult elas Provence'is viimased kümme aastat oma elust, aastatel 1470–1480, ja tema poliitilised suunad territoriaalsele laienemisele olid kulukad ja edutud.
