Yes, in the CW show Reign, Francis slept with Lola after his broken engagement with Mary, resulting in Lola becoming pregnant with his son, John Philip, which caused significant drama and hurt feelings, even though Mary was not yet married to him at that specific moment, and it led to complications and eventual marriage between Narcisse and Lola.
And also, Francis sleeping with Lola was done because he was sad, lonely, headed for life long exile, and was desperate to be able to spend a last moment with someone he didn't have to lie about his identity to. So, I don't blame him for sleeping with Lola at all.
Francis and Lola hooked up after getting to know each other one night, both were kind of vulnerable. Francis thought he'd never see Mary again, Lola had just been to save her brother due to his gambling debts and Francis saved her from being with a strange man for the night in a gamble.
Some time later, when Catherine learned of Mary's affair with Condé and planning to run away to Scotland together; she quickly told Francis of Mary's betrayal and he suddenly collapsed.
Francis even says to Lola that they couldn't do what they did without feeling SOMETHING for the other person. So that right there was meant to show there IS something between them. Does that mean he loves Lola? No, but there was attraction at least. He confided in her.
However, her husband's power-grabbing nature soon resurfaced and drove Lola away from him, all the way to English court. Lola found an unforeseen friend in Queen Elizabeth for a while, until she betrayed Elizabeth on what she thought was an order from her Queen. Lady Lola was thereafter beheaded for treason.
Near the end of the episode, Greer is revealed to be pregnant, carrying Martin the pirate's child. In Our Undoing, Mary asks Greer to leave the castle with her girls within the hour, as one of Don Carlos' men suspects them of inflicting injury upon the prince.
As to why now is the right time for Francis' reign to come to an end, McCarthy said: “We definitely take liberties with history but there is an element of history that we felt beholden to.” But even more than that, killing Francis is a way for the show to honor its pilot, which foreshadows the young king's death.
Prince Francis has sex with Lady Olivia, who is hoping to get pregnant and become his wife and, in time, Queen of France at the urging of Queen Catherine.
In Spiders in a Jar, Lola was beheaded for her involvement in an unsuccessful assassination attempt on Elizabeth I. The execution was hastened along so as not to turn it into an international scandal, given that Lola's husband, Stéphane Narcisse, is the Lord Chancellor of France.
Historically, this is inaccurate: Francis died on December 5, 1560 at the age of only 16 after suffering complications from an ear infection which was exacerbated by an abscess in his ear.
That's what they did back then to make sure a royal marriage was consummated. In real life, Francis was very sick and he never consummated his marriage to Mary.
She had been engaged to Prince Francis since they were children to forge an alliance between Scotland and France. When she was sixteen, Mary returned to court and there, she and Francis fell in love.
A Protestant husband for Mary seemed the best chance for stability. Mary fell passionately in love with Henry, Lord Darnley, but it was not a success.
After Francis' death, Mary returned to Scotland to assume her designated role as the country's monarch. In 1565, she married her English cousin Lord Darnley in order to reinforce her claim of succession to the English throne after Elizabeth's death.
Some suggest Darnley himself planted the gunpowder in order to kill Mary, while others claim it was those who felt betrayed by Darnley switching allegiances in the Riccio murder. Nobles who opposed Darnley's position in Scotland may have been responsible.
Unfortunately, Mary's privy councillors discovered the plot and arrested both her and Bothwell. History tells us that Mary fled to England, where she was kept confined by Elizabeth until Mary was beheaded for plotting against her cousin.
