Leonardo

King Francis I did not look extremely handsome and had quite a big nose. But that is not so important.

Besides Chambord, he had another beautiful castle overlooking Amboise (among other places where he would move with his thousands servants and assemblable furniture) and a manor a few hundred metres away, when he invited Leonardo to join him.

The Genius accepted and came by - bringing Mona Lisa along and making a French lady of her forever.

Leonardo did not regret it as he even requested to be buried there. The Amboisiens certainly did not regret it either, as nowadays they seem to capitalise on Leonardo's last restplace more than birthplace Vinci.
I suspect that also a Genius enjoys living in a nice manor, surrounded by a big park, developing war machines and other toys.
