     "Son of Charles V, king of France, and Jeanne de Bourbon, Louis was born on 13 March 1372 in Paris. He was at first titled comte de Valois; in 1386 Charles granted him Touraine, which he exchanged in 1392 for the duchy of Orléans. On 17 August 1389 he married his cousin Valentina Visconti, daughter of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, duke of Milan, and Isabelle de France, the daughter of Jean II, king of France. Louis and Valentina had eight children of whom two sons, Charles and Jean, and a daughter Marguerite would have progeny. Valentina brought as part of her dowry lands in northern Italy, which awakened Orléans ambitions for founding a kingdom there. Her hereditary right to Milan furnished her descendants, the kings Louis XII and François I, with a pretext for the wars they undertook in Italy.
     "Louis had an important political role during the Hundred Years' War. With the increasing insanity of his elder brother Charles VI 'the Mad' (who suffered from bipolar disorder), Louis disputed the regency and guardianship of the royal children with his cousin Jean 'the Fearless', duke of Burgundy. The enmity between the two was public and a source of political unrest in the already troubled France. Louis had the initial advantage, being the king's brother, but his character and rumour of an affaire with the consort queen Isabeau von Bayern made him extremely unpopular. For the following years, the children of Charles VI were successively kidnapped and recovered by both parties, until Jean 'the Fearless', duke of Burgundy managed to be appointed by royal decree guardian of the dauphin and regent of France.
     "Louis did not give up and took every opportunity to sabotage Jean's rule, including squandering the money raised for the relief of Calais, then occupied by the English. After this episode, Jean and Louis broke into open threats and only the intervention of Jean I, duc de Berry, uncle of both men, avoided a civil war. On 20 November 1407 a solemn reconciliation was vowed in front of the court of France, but only three days later Louis was assassinated in the streets of Paris, under orders of Jean 'the Fearless'."⁸

Reference: Genealogics cites:

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Louis I of Orléans (13 March 1372 – 23 November 1407) was Duke of Orléans from 1392 to his death. He was also, Duke of Touraine (1386–1392), Count of Valois (1386?–1406) Blois (1397–1407), Angoulême (1404–1407), Périgord (1400–1407) and Soissons (1404–07).
     "Louis was the second son of King Charles V of France and Joanna of Bourbon and was the younger brother of Charles VI.[1] In 1498, his legitimate agnatic progeny inherited the French throne (which in turn died out in 1589) after the extinction of the Valois main line.
Succession in Hungary, Poland and Naples
     "In 1374, Louis was betrothed to Catherine, heiress presumptive to the throne of Hungary.
     "Louis and Catherine were expected to reign either over Hungary or over Poland, as Catherine's father, Louis I of Hungary, had no sons. Catherine's father also planned to leave them his claim to the Crown of Naples and the County of Provence, which were then held by his ailing and childless cousin Joanna I.[2] However, Catherine's death in 1378 ended the marriage negotiations. In 1384, Elizabeth of Bosnia started negotiating with Louis' father about the possibility of Louis marrying her daughter Mary, notwithstanding Mary's engagement to Sigismund of Luxembourg. If Elizabeth had made this proposal in 1378, after Catherine's death, the fact that the French king and the Hungarian king did not recognise the same pope would have presented a problem. However, Elizabeth was desperate in 1384 and was not willing to let the schism stand in the way of the negotiations. Antipope Clement VII issued a dispensation which annulled Mary's betrothal to Sigismund[citation needed] and a proxy marriage between Louis and Mary was celebrated in April 1385.[3] Nonetheless, the marriage was not recognised by the Hungarian noblemen who adhered to Pope Urban VI. Four months after the proxy marriage, Sigismund invaded Hungary and married Mary, which ultimately destroyed Louis' chances to reign as King of Hungary.[4]
Hundred Years' War
     "Louis had an important political role during the Hundred Years' War. With the increasing insanity of his elder brother Charles the Mad (who suffered from either schizophrenia, porphyria or bipolar disorder), Louis disputed the regency and guardianship of the royal children with John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy. The enmity between the two was public and a source of political unrest in the already troubled France. Louis had the initial advantage, being the brother rather than the first cousin of the king, but his reputation as a womaniser and the rumour of an affair with the queen consort Isabeau of Bavaria made him extremely unpopular. For the following years, the children of Charles VI were successively kidnapped and recovered by both parties, until the Duke of Burgundy managed to be appointed by royal decree to be the guardian of Louis, the Dauphin and regent of France.
     "Louis did not give up and took every effort to sabotage John's rule, including squandering the money raised for the relief of Calais, then occupied by the English. After this episode, John and Louis broke into open threats and only the intervention of John of Valois, Duke of Berry and uncle of both men, avoided a civil war.
Murder
On Sunday 20 November 1407, the contending Dukes exchanged solemn vows of reconciliation before the court of France. But only three days later, Louis was brutally assassinated in the streets of Paris, by the orders of the Duke of Burgundy John the Fearless. Louis was stabbed while mounting his horse by fifteen masked criminals led by Raoulet d'Anquetonville, a servant of the Duke of Burgundy.[5] An attendant was severely wounded.
     "John was supported by the population of Paris and the University. He could even publicly admit the killing. Rather than deny it, John had the scholar Jean Petit of the Sorbonne deliver a peroration justifying the killing of tyrants.
     "Louis' murder sparked a bloody feud and civil war between Burgundy and the French royal family which divided France for the next twenty-eight years, ending with the Treaty of Arras in 1435.
Marriage and issue
     "In 1389, Louis married Valentina Visconti,[6] daughter of Gian Galeazzo, Duke of Milan. The union produced eight children:
-- A son (born and died Paris, 25 March 1390), buried in Paris église Saint-Paul.
-- Louis (Paris, Hôtel de Saint-Pol, 26 May 1391 - September 1395), buried Paris église des Célestins.

     French Royalty. Duc d'Orléans. Born in Paris, France, the eldest son of Louis de Valois, Duc d'Orléans, the second son of King Charles VI of France, and Valentine Visconti. In June 1406 he married his cousin Isabella, widow of Richard II of England. They had one daughter before Isabella's death three years later. He inherited his father's titles after the Duke's murder by Burgundian agents in 1407. During the English invasion of France and the battle of Agincourt, Charles served as co-commander and was wounded in action and taken prisoner. He was held in England, taking apartments in Windsor, Pontefract, Ampthill, Wingfield, and the Tower during the course of his prolonged stay and was allowed to indulge in pastimes befitting his rank, such as riding and hawking. During his enforced exile he also indulged in writing, and is credited as author of several hundred short French poems, the majority which were ballads or rondels. A ransom of 80,000 livres and a promise to pay 140,000 crowns in future was agreed upon in July 1440, and he was released the following November, having spent over twenty years a well kept prisoner. Upon his release he married Maria von Kleve daughter of Adolf I Herzog von Kleve, and with her had one son. He died at Amboise at the age of 70. His son would succeed to the French throne as Louis XII. Bio by: Iola

      ; Per Genealogics:
     "Charles was born on 26 May 1391 in Paris, the son of Louis, duc d'Orléans and Valentina Visconti, the only child of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, duke of Milan, and Isabelle de France. Louis d'Orléans was assassinated in Paris on 23 November 1407 at the orders of his cousin Jean 'the Fearless', duke of Burgundy, who was himself assassinated at Montereau on 10 September 1419 by Armagnac supporters of the dauphin of France.
     "In 1406 Charles married Isabelle de Valois, daughter of Charles VI, king of France, and Isabeau von Bayern, and widow of Richard II, king of England. They had a daughter Jeanne who married but did not have progeny. In 1407 after his father's murder Charles became duke of Orléans and led the Armagnacs against the duke of Burgundy. In 1410 he married Bonne d'Armagnac, daughter of Bernard VII de Armagnac, comte de Charolais, comte de Rodez, and Bonne de Berry, but this marriage remained childless.
     "At the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 Charles was captured and imprisoned for twenty-five years in England. His long imprisonment had at least one virtue in awakening his poetic muse; Charles became the greatest poet of the 15th century in the French language, alongside François Villon. Following the active intervention of Philippe 'the Good' and especially of his wife Isabella of Portugal, in 1440 Charles was released after a ransom of 120,000 marks had been paid as part of Henry VI of England's peace overtures. Thereby the houses of Orléans and Burgundy became reconciled, much to the anger of Charles VII. Charles d'Orléans swore his adherence to the Treaty of Arras, and on 6 November 1440 at Saint Omer married Marie von Kleef, daughter of Adolf I, Herzog von Kleef, and Marie de Bourgogne. They had three children of whom Marie and Louis, the future Louis XII of France, would have progeny. Anne would become abbess of Fontevrault and Poitiers.
     "On 30 November 1440 at Saint-Omer Charles agreed to receive the chain of a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece, while Philippe 'the Good' agreed to receive the chain of the Order of the Camail (Porcupine) founded in 1394 by Charles' father Louis, duc d'Orléans.
     "Having returned to active life, he participated with Philippe 'the Good' in the conferences of Nevers in 1442, in the course of which a large number of French princes expressed their grievances towards Charles VII. In 1444 he took part in conferences at Tours which resulted in the truce between France and England. In parallel, he worked to gain the freedom of his brother Jean, comte d'Angoulême, a prisoner in England since 1412, Jean's freedom came in 1445.
     "In 1447 Charles crossed the Alps to his county of Asti, in the hope of gaining, with the help of Charles VII, the duchy of Milan which he claimed in the name of his mother. This attempt failed after Francesco Sforza's victory in the same year over the French. Charles returned to France, and thereafter he spent most of his last years in retirement at Blois, writing and befriending other literary men. Charles died at Amboise on 4 January 1465."⁴

     French Monarch. Born the son of Charles I de France, Comte de Valois, the younger brother of King Phillipe IV, and Marguerite d'Anjou. When his cousin, Charles IV, died without a male heir he became one claimant to the throne, the other being Edward III of England, who was related to the French king on the matrilineal side. The assembly of French barons, however, found that as Philippe was the eldest direct male line descendant of Philippe III, he was the rightful king. He was crowned in May 1328. In 1334 he welcomed the fugitive king of Scotland, David II, to his court, angering Edward III. In 1337, Edward returned the slight by granting refuge to Robert of Artois, making him Earl of Richmond. He was a former friend and adviser to Philippe who had committed fraud and forgery in order to cheat the crown. Philippe's fury led him to declare Edward in forfeit of his territories in Aquitaine for rebellion and disobedience. Edward, in turn, renewed his claim on the French crown, the relatively petty tit for tat igniting The Hundred Years War. Bio by: Iola

      ; Per Genealogics:
     "Philippe VI, king of France, was born in 1293, the son of Charles, comte de Valois, and Marguerite d'Anjou. In 1315 he married Jeanne de Bourgogne, daughter of Robert II, duke of Burgundy, and Agnès de France. They had six children of whom Jean II and Philippe would have progeny. As the nearest direct male heir after the death of King Charles IV, Philippe was chosen as king of France under the Salic Law. In the early years of his reign Philippe VI planned an Anglo-French crusade with Edward III of England; however, Edward withdrew his support and the plan never came to fruition.
     "Friction gradually built up between Philippe VI and Edward III, and when in 1337 Philippe declared Gascony confiscated, Edward retaliated by claiming the French crown. Edward III argued that his claim to the throne of France was stronger as his mother Isabella was the daughter of Philippe IV of France.
     "In 1339 the Hundred Years War broke out. On 24 June 1340 the English destroyed the French fleet at Sluis in Flanders. In 1343 the two kings signed a three-year truce; however, in 1345 Edward III invaded Normandy, and in 1346 he defeated the French at the Battle of Crécy where Philippe VI was badly wounded. In 1347 the English captured Calais, which they were to keep for the next two centuries. Philippe resorted to extraordinary taxes, including a salt tax, to pay for his campaigns, but he was unable to stem the English advance.
     "The Black Death carried off Philippe's wife Jeanne de Bourgogne in 1348 and his son Jean's wife Judith of Bohemia the following year. Philippe arranged a new marriage for his son with Blanche de Navarre-Evreux, the daughter of Philippe III, king of Navarre and through her mother the granddaughter of Louis X, king of France. When she arrived at the French court, Philippe fell in love with her himself and decided to marry her, although he was many years her senior. Another bride was found for Jean in Jeanne de Boulogne, whom he accepted without demur. Philippe wore himself out in his attempts to satisfy his new wife and prove his vigour, and within a year he sickened and died in August 1350, leaving a pregnant widow."⁵

     "Philip VI (French: Philippe; 1293 – 22 August 1350), called the Fortunate (French: le Fortuné) and of Valois, was the first King of France from the House of Valois. He reigned from 1328 until his death.
     "Philip's reign was dominated by the consequences of a succession dispute. When King Charles IV died without a male heir in 1328, the nearest male relative was his maternal nephew Edward III of England. It was held in France, however, that Edward was ineligible to inherit the French throne through the female line according to the ancient Salic Law. Philip, being Charles IV's cousin in the male line, acceded instead. At first, Edward seemed to accept the Valois succession to the crown, but he pressed his claim to the throne of France after a series of disagreements with Philip. The result was the beginning of the Hundred Years' War in 1337.
     "After initial successes at sea, Philip's navy was annihilated at the Battle of Sluys in 1340, ensuring that the war would occur on the continent. The English took another decisive advantage at the Battle of Crécy (1346), while the Black Death struck France, further destabilizing the country.
     "In 1349, Philip VI bought the Dauphiné from its ruined ruler Humbert II and entrusted the government of this province to his grandson Charles. Philip VI died in 1350 and was succeeded by his son John II, the Good.
Early life
     "Little is recorded about Philip's childhood and youth, in large part because he was of minor royal birth. Philip's father Charles, Count of Valois, the younger brother of King Philip IV of France,[1] had striven throughout his life to gain a throne for himself but was never successful. He died in 1325, leaving his eldest son Philip as heir to the counties of Anjou, Maine, and Valois.[2]
Accession to the throne
     "In 1328, Philip's first cousin Charles IV died without a son and with his widow Jeanne d'Évreux pregnant.[2] Philip was one of the two chief claimants to the throne. The other was King Edward III of England, who was the son of Charles's sister Isabella and his closest male relative. The question arose whether Isabella should have been able to transmit a claim that she herself did not possess.[3] The assemblies of the French barons and prelates and the University of Paris decided that males who derive their right to inheritance through their mother should be excluded according to Salic law. As Philip was the eldest grandson of Philip III of France through the male line, he became regent instead of Edward, who was a matrilineal grandson of Philip IV of France and great-grandson of Philip III.[4]
     "During the period in which Charles IV's widow was waiting to deliver her child, Philip rose to the regency with support of the French magnates, following the pattern set up by Philip V's succession over his niece Joan II of Navarre.[3] He formally held the regency from 9 February 1328 until 1 April, when Jeanne d'Évreux gave birth to a girl, named Blanche.[5] Upon this birth, Philip was named king and crowned at the Cathedral in Reims on 29 May 1328.[6] After his elevation to the throne, Philip sent the Abbot of Fécamp, Pierre Roger, to summon Edward III of England to pay homage for the duchy of Aquitaine and Gascony.[7] After a subsequent second summons from Philip, Edward arrived at the Cathedral of Amiens on 6 June 1329 and worded his vows in such a way to cause more disputes in later years.[7]
     "The dynastic change had another consequence: Charles IV had also been King of Navarre, but, unlike the crown of France, the crown of Navarre was not subject to Salic Law. Philip VI was neither an heir nor a descendant of Joan I of Navarre, whose inheritance (the kingdom of Navarre, as well as the counties of Champagne, Troyes, Meaux, and Brie) had been in personal union with the crown of France for almost fifty years and had long been administered by the same royal machinery established by Philip IV, the father of French bureaucracy. These counties were closely entrenched in the economic and administrative entity of the crown lands of France, being located adjacent to Île-de-France. Philip, however, was not entitled to that inheritance; the rightful heiress was the surviving daughter of Louis X, the future Joan II of Navarre, the heir general of Joan I of Navarre. Navarre thus passed to Joan II, with whom Philip struck a deal regarding the counties in Champagne: she received vast lands in Normandy (adjacent to her husband Philip's fief in Évreux) in compensation, and he kept Champagne as part of the French crown lands.
Reign
     "Philip's reign was plagued with crises, although it began with a military success in Flanders at the Battle of Cassel (August 1328), where Philip's forces re-seated Louis I, Count of Flanders, who had been unseated by a popular revolution.[8] Philip's wife, the able Joan the Lame, gave the first of many demonstrations of her competence as regent in his absence.
     "Philip initially enjoyed relatively amicable relations with Edward III, and they planned a crusade together in 1332, which was never executed. However, the status of the Duchy of Aquitaine remained a sore point, and tension increased. Philip provided refuge for David II of Scotland in 1334 and declared himself champion of his interests, which enraged Edward.[9] By 1336, they were enemies, although not yet openly at war.
     "Philip successfully prevented an arrangement between the Avignon papacy and Holy Roman Emperor Louis IV, although in July 1337 Louis concluded an alliance with Edward III.[10] The final breach with England came when Edward offered refuge to Robert III of Artois, formerly one of Philip's trusted advisers,[11] after Robert committed forgery to try to obtain an inheritance. As relations between Philip and Edward worsened, Robert's standing in England strengthened.[11] On 26 December 1336, Philip officially demanded the extradition of Robert to France.[11] On 24 May 1337, Philip declared that Edward had forfeited Aquitaine for disobedience and for sheltering the "king's mortal enemy", Robert of Artois.[12] Thus began the Hundred Years' War, complicated by Edward's renewed claim to the throne of France in retaliation for the forfeiture of Aquitaine.
Hundred Years' War
     "Philip entered the Hundred Years' War in a position of comparative strength. France was richer and more populous than England and was at the height of its medieval glory. The opening stages of the war, accordingly, were largely successful for the French.
     "At sea, French privateers raided and burned towns and shipping all along the southern and southeastern coasts of England.[13] The English made some retaliatory raids, including the burning of a fleet in the harbour of Boulogne-sur-Mer,[14] but the French largely had the upper hand. With his sea power established, Philip gave orders in 1339 to prepare an invasion of England (the Ordinance of Normandy) and began assembling a fleet off the Zeeland coast at Sluys. In June 1340, however, in the bitterly fought Battle of Sluys, the English attacked the port and captured or destroyed the ships there, ending the threat of an invasion.[14]
     "On land, Edward III largely concentrated upon Flanders and the Low Countries, where he had gained allies through diplomacy and bribery. A raid in 1339 (the first chevauchée) into Picardy ended ignominiously when Philip wisely refused to give battle. Edward's slender finances would not permit him to play a waiting game, and he was forced to withdraw into Flanders and return to England to raise more money. In July 1340, Edward returned and mounted the Siege of Tournai.[15] By September 1340, Edward was in financial distress, hardly able to pay or feed his troops, and was open to dialogue.[16] After being at Bouvines for a week, Philip was finally persuaded to send Joan of Valois, Countess of Hainaut to discuss terms to end the siege.[16] On 23 September 1340, a nine-month truce was reached.[16]
     "So far, the war had gone quite well for Philip and the French. While often stereotyped as chivalry-besotten incompetents, Philip and his men had in fact carried out a successful Fabian strategy against the debt-plagued Edward and resisted the chivalric blandishments of single combat or a combat of two hundred knights that he offered. In 1341, the War of the Breton Succession allowed the English to place permanent garrisons in Brittany. However, Philip was still in a commanding position: during negotiations arbitrated by the pope in 1343, he refused Edward's offer to end the war in exchange for the Duchy of Aquitaine in full sovereignty.
     "The next attack came in 1345, when the Earl of Derby overran the Agenais (lost twenty years before in the War of Saint-Sardos) and took Angoulême, while the forces in Brittany under Sir Thomas Dagworth also made gains. The French responded in the spring of 1346 with a massive counter-attack against Aquitaine, where an army under John, Duke of Normandy, besieged Derby at Aiguillon. On the advice of Godfrey Harcourt (like Robert III of Artois, a banished French nobleman), Edward sailed for Normandy instead of Aquitaine. As Harcourt predicted, the Normans were ill-prepared for war, and many of the fighting men were at Aiguillon. Edward sacked and burned the country as he went, taking Caen and advancing as far as Poissy and then retreating before the army Philip had hastily assembled at Paris. Slipping across the Somme, Edward drew up to give battle at Crécy.
     "Close behind him, Philip had planned to halt for the night and reconnoitre the English position before giving battle the next day. However, his troops were disorderly, and the roads were jammed by the rear of the army coming up, and by the local peasantry furiously calling for vengeance on the English. Finding them hopeless to control, he ordered a general attack as evening fell. Thus began the Battle of Crécy. When it was done, the French army had been annihilated and a wounded Philip barely escaped capture. Fortune had turned against the French.
     "The English seized and held the advantage. Normandy called off the siege of Aiguillon and retreated northward, while Sir Thomas Dagworth captured Charles of Blois in Brittany. The English army pulled back from Crécy to mount the siege of Calais; the town held out stubbornly, but the English were determined, and they easily supplied across the English Channel. Philip led out a relieving army in July 1347, but unlike the Siege of Tournai, it was now Edward who had the upper hand. With the plunder of his Norman expedition and the reforms he had executed in his tax system, he could hold to his siege lines and await an attack that Philip dared not deliver. It was Philip who marched away in August, and the city capitulated shortly thereafter.
Final years
     "After the defeat at Crécy and loss of Calais, the Estates of France refused to raise money for Philip, halting his plans to counter-attack by invading England. In 1348 the Black Death struck France and in the next few years killed one-third of the population, including Queen Joan. The resulting labour shortage caused inflation to soar, and the king attempted to fix prices, further de-stabilising the country. His second marriage to his son's betrothed Blanche of Navarre alienated his son and many nobles from the king.[17]
     "Philip's last major achievement was the acquisition of the Dauphiné[18] and the territory of Montpellier in the Languedoc in 1349. At his death in 1350, France was very much a divided country filled with social unrest. Philip VI died at Coulombes Abbey, Eure-et-Loir, on 22 August 1350[19] and is interred with his first wife, Joan of Burgundy, in Saint Denis Basilica, though his viscera were buried separately at the now demolished church of Couvent des Jacobins in Paris. He was succeeded by his first son by Joan of Burgundy, who became John II.
Marriages and children
     "In July 1313, Philip married Joan the Lame (French: Jeanne), daughter of Robert II, Duke of Burgundy,[20] and Agnes of France, the youngest daughter of Louis IX. In an ironic twist to his "male" ascendancy to the throne, the intelligent, strong-willed Joan, an able regent of France during the king's long military campaigns, was said to be the brains behind the throne and the real ruler of France. Their children were the following:
1. John II (26 April 1319 – 8 April 1364).[21]
2. Marie (1326 – 22 September 1333), who married John of Brabant, the son and heir of John III, Duke of Brabant, but died shortly afterwards.
3. Louis (born and died 17 January 1329).
4. Louis (8 June 1330 – 23 June 1330).
5. A son [John?] (born and died 2 October 1333).
6. A son (28 May 1335), stillborn.
7. Phlip (1 July 1336 – 1 September 1375), Duke of Orléans
8. Joan (born and died November 1337).
9. A son (born and died summer 1343).
     "After Joan died in 1349, Philip married Blanche of Navarre,[22] daughter of Joan II and Philip III of Navarre, on 11 January 1350. They had one daughter:

     "King of France: PHILIP VI (nephew of Philip IV, son of Charles of Valois), the nearest male heir. Jeanne, daughter of Louis X, became queen of Navarre. Brittany, Flanders, Guienne, and Burgundy remained outside the royal sway. The papacy was under French influence; rulers of the Capetian house of Anjou were seated on the thrones of Naples, Provence, and Hungary; Dauphiné, the first important imperial fief added to French territory, was purchased (1336). The king had become less accessible; the kingdom, regarded as a possession rather than an obligation, was left to the administration of the royal bureaucracy.
     "1338: Philip declared Edward's French fiefs forfeited and invested Guienne. Edward was made vicar of the empire, and his title as king of France was recognized by the emperor. Thus began the Hundred Years' War, really a series of wars with continuous common objectives: the retention of their French “empire” by the English, the liberation of their soil by the French.

     French queen, daughter of Robert II. and Agnes de France and sister of Marguerite de Bourgogne. She is described as very intelligent, well educated and strong willed. When she married Philippe of Valois in 1313 she couldn't hope to be queen of France one day and when King Philippe IV died one year later he left three grown sons. In 1319 she gave birth to a boy, that was named Jean and who will be the first of her children that survives his childhood. In the following years she gives birth to seven other children but only two will survive. Then the unthinkable happens in 1327 the third of the sons of Philippe IV dies without a heir. His widow Jeanne d'Evreux is pregnant but gives birth to a daughter. Philippe de Valois, who administrated the kingdom since the death of Charles IV, is crowned together with Jeanne, but Edward III a grandson of Philippe IV considers himself to be rightful king of France and declares war. In 1337 the Hundred Years' War between England and France starts with the invasion of the Guyenne by the french army. In August 1346 Philippe is defeated in the famous Battle of Crecy. In September 1348 Jeanne becomes a victim of the "Black Death" that kills one third of the European population and one quarter of the citizens of Paris. While her body was buried in St. Denis her heart was buried in the Abbey of Cîteaux beside her parents. In the following January Philippe married the sixteen years old Blanche de Navarre and died two years after Jeanne. Cause of Death: Bubonic Plague. Bio by: Lutetia

     "Joan of Burgundy (French: Jeanne; 24 June 1293[citation needed] – 12 December 1349), also known as Joan the Lame (French: Jeanne la Boiteuse), was Queen of France as the first wife of King Philip VI. Joan served as regent while her husband fought on military campaigns during the Hundred Years' War.
Background
     "Joan was the daughter of Robert II, Duke of Burgundy, and Agnes of France.[1] Her older sister, Margaret, was the first wife of Louis X of France.[2] Joan married Philip of Valois, Louis's cousin, in July 1313. From 1314 to 1328, they were Count and Countess of Maine;[2] from 1325, they were also Count and Countess of Valois and Anjou.
Queenship
     "King Philip IV's sons: Louis X, Philip V, and Charles IV, left no surviving male heirs, leading to the accession of Joan's husband to the French throne. The Hundred Years' War ensued, with Edward III of England, a nephew of Louis X, claiming the French crown. Intelligent and strong-willed, Joan proved a capable regent while her husband fought on military campaigns during the war. However, her nature and power earned both herself and her husband a bad reputation, which was accentuated by her deformity (which was considered by some to be a mark of evil), and she became known as la male royne boiteuse ("the lame evil Queen"). One chronicler described her as a danger to her enemies in court: "the lame Queen Jeanne de Bourgogne...was like a King and caused the destruction of those who opposed her will."[3]
     "She was also considered to be a scholarly woman and a bibliophile: she sent her son, John, manuscripts to read, and commanded the translation of several important contemporary works into vernacular French, including the Miroir historial of Vincent de Beauvais (c.1333) and the Jeu d'échecs moralisés of Jacques de Cessoles (c.1347), a task carried out by Jean de Vignay.
     "Joan died of the plague 12 December 1349.[4] She was buried in the Basilica of Saint Denis; her tomb, built by her grandson Charles V, was destroyed during the French Revolution.
Family, children and descent
     "Her children with Philip VI were:
John II (26 April 1319 – 8 April 1364).
Marie (1326 – 22 September 1333), who married John of Brabant, the son and heir of John III, Duke of Brabant, but died shortly afterwards.
Louis (born and died 17 January 1329).
Louis (8 June 1330 – 23 June 1330).
A son [John?] (born and died 2 October 1333).
A son (28 May 1335), stillborn.
Philip (1 July 1336 – 1 September 1375), Duke of Orléans
Joan (born and died November 1337).
A son (born and died summer 1343).
     "In 1361, Joan's grandnephew, Philip I of Burgundy, died without legitimate issue, ending the male line of the Dukes of Burgundy. The rightful heir to Burgundy was unclear: King Charles II of Navarre, grandson of Joan's elder sister Margaret, was the heir according to primogeniture, but John II of France (Joan's son) claimed to be the heir according to proximity of blood. In the end, John won.
In fiction
     "Joan is a character in Les Rois maudits (The Accursed Kings), a series of French historical novels by Maurice Druon. She was portrayed by Ghislaine Porret in the 1972 French miniseries adaptation of the series.

Her elder sister Marguerite was the first wife and queen of Louis X of France. Her brothers Hugues V and Eudes IV would both be dukes of Burgundy.
     "In July 1313 Jeanne married Philippe de Valois, son of Charles, comte de Valois, and Marguerite d'Anjou. From 1315 to 1328 they were count and countess of Maine; from 1325 they were also count and countess of Valois and Anjou.

     French Monarch. Jean le Bon. Born the son of Philippe VI and Jeanne of Burgundy. At thirteen, he married Bonne of Luxemburg, with whom he eventually had nine children. Bonne died one year before his ascension to the throne in 1350 and he married Joanna, Countess of Auvergne and Boulogne. The early part of his reign was marred by his choice of corrupt advisors who robbed the treasury and passed oppressive measure. An economic crisis led to him debasing the kingdom's coinage to pay for the ongoing Hundred Years War between France and England. His eldest daughter, Jeanne, married Charles II of Navarre with whom King Jean maintained a chronic antagonism. In 1356 he fought at the Battle of Poitiers, where he suffered a humiliating defeat and was taken as captive by Prince Edward of England. The treaty of Bretigny in 1360 fixed his ransom at 3,000,000 crowns. The captive king was held in England to await ransom payment. He was first held in the Savoy Palace, then at Windsor, Hertford, Somerton, and at last in the Tower's royal apartments. He was accorded royal privileges, permitted to travel, and to enjoy a lifestyle to which he was accustomed. When his son, Louis of Anjou, surrendered in English-held Calais as a replacement hostage, Jean was allowed to return to France in order to raise his ransom. When Louis escaped English custody in the summer of 1363, Jean resubmitted himself to English custody in order, he claimed, to preserve the honor of his crown. He returned to England where he was well received, and was again maintained in the Savoy. He was also a frequent guest of King Edward. He died less than a year later. His body was sent back to France with royal honors and interred at Saint Denis' Basilica. Bio by: Iola

     "This identification of David II, King of Scots as 'kinsman' by Jean II, King of France provides good supportfor J. C. Parsons' theory that Margaret/Marguerite, wife of Richard de Burgh, was the daughter of Arnold III of Guines. Further, your chart showing the two kings as 4th cousins (1x removed) is accurate, based on this identification.
     "The ancestry of Jean II of France is quite helpful in supporting this identification, as it is well-known through his great-great grandparents, and provides noevidence of another possible link outside the Dreux, de Coucy and de St. Valery families. I have reviewed my records concerning the continental descendants of the daughters of Henry of Scotland, Earl of Northumberland and Huntingdon (d. 1152) - gggg grandfather of King David II - and find no descents to Jean II of France. With the exception of the notable gap in David II's Carrick ancestry (his great-grandmother, wife of Neil, Earl of Carrick is unknown) - which is most likely a Scots connection - there is no other avenue for a connection between the two kings not involving Margaret, wife of Richard de Burgh.
     "I have appended below an for Jean II of France for general information and review (an earlier post in this thread gave the AT for David II of Scots). The ancestry of Jean II is quite interesting, esp. in noting that all four grandparents (Charles of Valois, Marguerite of Naples, Robert II of Burgundy and Agnes of France) were male-line Capetians. The rubber stamp for dispensations was evidently in heavy use: Charles of Valois and Marguerite of Naples were 2nd cousins; and Jean II's parents, Philip VI of France and Jeanne of Burgundy, were 1st cousins once removed (3rd & 2nd degree of consanguinity). If the repeats in his ancestry are problematic, I would ask, 'dispensa mea'.

     "Jean II 'the Good, king of France, was born on 26 April 1319, the son of Philippe VI, king of France, and Jeanne de Bourgogne. He was only thirteen when he married Judith of Bohemia, daughter of Johann 'the Blind' of Luxembourg, king of Bohemia, and Elisabeth of Bohemia. They had eleven children of whom four sons and three daughters would have progeny.
     "In 1350 Jean succeeded his father as king of France. His first act was the execution of the constable of France Raoul II de Brienne, comte d'Eu, for treason. He then conferred the office on his favourite, Charles de la Cerda. At Poitiers on 19 September 1356, the French army was overwhelmingly defeated by English forces under Edward, prince of Wales, and Jean II was captured.
     "He was taken to London in May 1357, and Edward III housed him in the Tower of London and treated him as an honoured guest. Edward III then negotiated with Jean II's son, the future King Charles V, who acted as regent in France. The ransom for Jean II was set at 700,000 pounds in the first Treaty of London of May 1358, which also called for French recognition of English sovereignty over Aquitaine and parts of northern France.
     "Charles rejected Edward III's terms and Jean II remained in English hands until 1360 when, at the end of a brief campaign in France, Edward III resumed negotiations at Brétigny. By the Treaty of Brétigny in May 1360 Jean II was ransomed for 500,000 pounds, a sum for which a group of hostages, including his second son Louis, was sent as surety to England until payment had been completed. Louis escaped from English captivity in 1364, and in accordance with the chivalric code Jean II returned to England, where he died later the same year."^17,7

     French Monarch. Born at Vicennes, France, the eldest son of Jean II, King of France and Bonne Judith de Luxembourg. He was the first heir apparent of France to bear the title Dauphin. He married Jeanne de Bourbon in April 1350, and with her had at least nine children, six of whom predeceased him. With his father's capture at the Battle of Poitiers, Charles served as Regent during the king's imprisonment in England. He rejected a 1359 treaty the king signed while being held, eventually forcing the English to reduce terms. He succeeded to the title of King Charles V of France in 1364 at the death of his father. He spent much of his reign attempting to disperse the marauding bands of discharged soldiers in the country side, and recovering the territories ceded to the English; where he could, he negotiated with towns and cities to bring them back under the French crown. By 1374, he had recovered all of France except Calais and Aquitaine. A patron of the arts, he established the royal library and worked to embellish the Louvre. In 1376, when Pope Gregory XI decided to move his court back to Rome after nearly 70 years in Avignon, he ignored Charles' entreaties to remain in France. With Gregory's death 18 months later, Roman mobs surrounded the Vatican and demanded they elect a Roman, resulting in the election of Pope Urban VI; the majority French cardinals later declared the election invalid and voted for Pope Clement VII. Charles recognized Clement as Pope and forbade obedience to Urban in his kingdom, leading to the Papal Schism. The king died the following year, at the age of 42, and was succeeded by his 12-year-old son. He was also known as Charles the Wise. Bio by: Iola

      ; Per Genealogics:
     "Charles was born on 21 January 1337, the son of Jean II 'the Good', king of France, and Judith of Bohemia. As crown prince he was the first to bear the title of Dauphin, a name derived from the Dauphiné, an area his grandfather Philippe VI had acquired in 1349.
     "He was more a scholar than a warrior, and his health may have been damaged by a poisoning attempt. Poet Christine de Pisan referred to his beautiful chestnut eyes, his pale skin, even temper and pleasant voice. In 1356 while his father was imprisoned in England he acted as regent. However, the parliament refused to give money for the war with England without the promise of administrative reforms. The ensuing unrest in 1358 resulted in opposition led by Charles II 'the Bad' of Navarre, which was further escalated by the 'Jacquerie', a peasant revolt.
     "When in 1359 Charles revoked the Treaty of London signed by his imprisoned father, his parliament at last supported him and the peasants were brutally suppressed. In 1364, after his father had died a prisoner in London, he became king, and under his constable Bertrand Du Guesclin the royal French armies started to force the English to retreat.
     "At thirteen he had married the plump and slightly unstable Jeanne de Bourbon, daughter of Pierre I, duc de Bourbon, and Isabelle de Valois. In their early years he preferred his mistress Biette Cassinel, but once he was king he became and remained faithful to his wife. After the birth of their ninth child in February 1377, Jeanne died, leaving him grief-stricken.
     "Two years later, suffering from gout in both hands and feet, he succumbed to kidney failure and died on 16 September 1380 at Beauté-sur-Vincennes, aged forty-three. He was succeeded by his son Charles VI."⁸

; Per Enc. of World History (Online):
     “"CHARLES V (the Wise), neither strong of body, handsome, nor chivalrous; a pious, refined, realistic statesman of “modern” cast. He saved France and made it plain that national well-being depended on the monarchy rather than on the Estates General.
     “The reign opened with bad harvests, plague, and pillage by the free companies. The Breton Bertrand Du Guesclin, the first great soldier on the French side in the Hundred Years' War, was sent with some 30,000 men to support Henry of Trastamara against Pedro the Cruel of Castile, who had become an ally of the Black Prince.
     “Charles managed to dominate the new financial machinery set up by the Estates General, continued the war levies (e.g., hearth tax, gabelle, sales taxes) and utilized the peace for general reform and reconstruction: castles were rebuilt, and royal control of them strengthened; permanent companies of professional cavalry and infantry were established; artillery was organized and supported by pioneers and sappers; a military staff and hierarchy of command was established in the army (1374); the navy was reorganized, and French sea power restored. New walls were built around Paris.
     “The grant from the estate of Langue d'Oïl (1360) for John's ransom had been for a term of six years; the grant of a hearth tax (1363) was without a time limit. Following these precedents, Charles was able (1369) to induce the estates to agree to the general principle that old grants of funds need not be renewed by the estates unless their terms were to be changed. This freed the king from control by the estates unless new taxes were needed, and it meant that the estates no longer had a vital function. The financial control established by the estates (1357) was transferred to the royal chambre de comptes in Paris.
     “1369: The appeal of the count of Armagnac to Charles against the Black Prince and the Black Prince's refusal to appear at Charles's court served as an excuse for the resumption of the war. The reconquest of Poitou and Brittany (1370-72) was followed by the death of the Black Prince (1376); the French fleet, supported by the Castilian, regained control (La Rochelle, 1372) of the Channel, and blocked English transport in the north. By 1380 the English held only Bordeaux, Bayonne, Brest, Calais, Cherbourg, Valais, and their immediately surrounding territory. France was cleared of the enemy, but it was in ruins."^16,3

In the same year Philippe VI died and was succeeded by is son Jean II. Charles and Jeanne are named Monseigneur le Dauphin and Madame la Dauphine, titles all successors to the french throne and their wives wore from then on. It is probably due to the fact that they were raised together that her marriage was happy and full of love.

From the eight children, six girls and two boys, she gave birth to only the boys survived their childhood.

; Per Genealogics:
     "René II was born on 2 May 1451, son of Frédéric VI of Lorraine, count of Vaudémont and Yolande of Anjou, duchess of Lorraine and Bar.
     "René spent his youth at the court of his grandfather René I, duc d'Anjou, between Angers and Provence. In 1470 he succeeded his father as count of Vaudémont. On 9 September 1471 he married Jeanne d'Harcourt, countess of Tancarville, daughter of Guillaume d'Harcourt, baron de Montgommery, and Yolande de Laval.
     "In 1473 René inherited from his uncle Nicholas d'Anjou the positions of captain of Angers and seneschal and governor of Anjou. In 1473 after the childless death of his cousin Nicholas d'Anjou, duc de Lorraine, René's mother inherited the duchy of Lorraine and immediately transferred it to him; however the duchy was caught between the spheres of influence of Louis XI, king of France, and Charles 'the Bold', duke of Burgundy.
     "René leant first towards Burgundy, but when Charles began to place garrisons in Lorraine, René on 9 July 1474 secretly swung his allegiance to France, and renounced his alliance with Burgundy in 1475. Charles invaded the duchy, and René was forced to flee from Nancy on 11 January 1476. He recaptured the city on 5 October of the same year, and travelled to Switzerland to seek the reinforcements which finally sealed the fate of the duke of Burgundy at the Battle of Nancy on 5 January 1477.
     "Following that victory, René ordered the construction of the great basilica of Saint-Nicolas-de-Port and the ducal palace in Nancy.
     "In 1480 René's mother inherited the duchy of Bar from her father René I, duc d'Anjou, and she again immediately transferred it to her son René. René's alliance with Louis XI was finally broken after Louis in 1481 annexed most of his inheritance from his grandfather René I, leaving him only the duchy of Bar. In the same year René entered Italy and sided with the Venetians in their war with the duke of Ferrara, defeating the latter at Adria in that year.
     "Because his marriage to Jeanne d'Harcourt had remained childless René divorced his wife on 8 August 1485. On 1 September 1485 in Nancy he married Philippa van Egmond, daughter of Adolf van Egmond, duke of Gelre, and Catherine de Bourbon. They had twelve children, of whom two sons, Antoine and Claude, would have progeny.
     "Also in 1485 René took part in the first phase of the 'guerre folle' against Anne de Beaujeu, regent of France after the death of her father Louis XI until the majority of her brother, the young king Charles VIII. However at the Peace of Bourges in the same year he wisely withdrew from the coalition of princes opposing Anne.
     "In 1488 the subjects of the king of Naples revolted, and offered the crown to René, who organised an expedition to take possession of the kingdom, but he was prohibited from proceeding by King Charles VIII, who intended to conquer Naples in his own right (marking the start of the Italian Wars).
     "René caught a chill during a hunt near Fains, and died on 10 December 1508 in the château de Fains. Philippa survived him by many years and died on 28 February 1547 in Nancy.
     "Through his son Antoine, René is the dynastic ancestor of the house of Habsburg-Lorraine, following the marriage of his descendant in the ninth generation Franz I Stephan, duke of Lorraine with Archduchess Maria Theresia of Austria, queen of Hungary and Bohemia. He is also an ancestor of all the other royal houses of Europe."³ He was Comte de Vaudémont between 1470 and 1508.¹¹ He was Comte d'Harcourt between 1473 and 1495.¹¹ He was Duc de Lorraine between 1473 and 1508.¹¹ He was Baron of Elbeuf between 1473 and 1508.¹¹ He was Marquis de Pont-à-Mousson between 1480 and 1508.¹¹ He was Duc de Bar between 1483 and 1508.¹¹ He was Comte d'Aumale between 1495 and 1508.¹¹ He was Comte de Guise between 1504 and 1508.¹¹

      ; Per Genealogics:
     "Henri was born on 31 March 1519 in St.Germain-en-Laye, second son of François I, king of France and his wife Claude, daughter of Louis XII, king of France. After François I's defeat in Italy and imprisonment in Spain, the only way for him to gain his freedom was to agree to a treaty with Emperor Charles V. François was to be married to the emperor's sister and had to send his two sons as hostages to Spain. The years of imprisonment seriously affected Henri.
     "In 1529 Bodin, a gentleman-usher of the boys' grandmother visited Henri and his brother François in their prison. He wrote that it was 'very dark, without any carpet or decoration save a straw mattress, in which chamber my Lords were seated on small stone stools beneath a window, barred inside and out with great iron bars, and with walls eight or ten feet thick, the said window so high that scarcely could my Lords have air or the pleasure of daylight'. So shabby were their clothes that Bodin could not keep back his tears. They had forgotten French because they had no one with whom they could speak it. They had been captives for three years. The dauphin François was now eleven, Henri d'Orléans ten.
     "Diane de Poitiers was one of the ladies who had met Henri and François on their return from Spain. At fourteen Henri was a cold and reserved boy, already in love with Diane. However his father had arranged his marriage with Catharina de' Medici, daughter of Lorenzo II de' Medici, duke of Urbino, and Madeleine de La Tour d'Auvergne. The marriage took place on 28 October 1533 in Marseilles in the presence of Pope Clement VII (Giulio de' Medici), who had arranged it. The bride was also fourteen, black haired with a pale face and bulging eyes.
     "Henri's father had hoped to obtain the duchy of Milan for Henri through this marriage but a year later the pope died, and Catharina became an encumbrance instead of an asset. On 10 August 1536 the dauphin died aged eighteen making Henri heir to the French throne. Henri was now dauphin and duke of Brittany.
     "In 1542 Anne, duc de Montmorency, the constable of France, was brought down by his powerful enemies, among them the king's sister as well as the king's mistress. His chief supporters were Henri and his mistress Diane de Poitiers. Marino Cavalli described the relationship of Henri and Diane: 'The Dauphin has real affection for her, but people consider there is nothing lustful in it, that it is more like that which exists between mother and son. They say she has taken it on herself to teach, correct and counsel the Dauphin and make him act in a way worthy of him.' Marino Cavalli also described Henri: 'His qualities promise France the finest king that she has had for two centuries. At twenty-eight years, this prince is of a very robust constitution, but somewhat melancholy in humour. He is very skilled in the use of arms. He is not a good conversationalist, but very clear and firm in his opinions. He is of mediocre intelligence, slow to react'.
     "In 1539 Henri had raped a girl in Piedmont, who bore him a daughter. The birth appeared to put the stigma of barrenness on Henri's wife Catharina de' Medici and divorce was discussed. Catharina threw herself at the feet of her father-in-law and begged that after the divorce she be allowed to retreat to a convent. King François I, however, responded that God had ordained her to be the dauphin's wife and God would answer her prayers for a child.
     "In July 1542 imperialist agents murdered two French diplomats who were on their way to negotiate an alliance with Sultan Suleiman. Later that month France declared war upon the emperor. Henri and Marshal d'Annebaut laid siege to Perpignan for six weeks. It was defended by the duke of Alba and they had little success. When the news came that the French garrisons in Piedmont were beleaguered, Henri took his troops to their rescue. The campaigns throughout 1542 and early 1543 were inconclusive. In June 1543 Henry VIII, to aid the emperor, declared war on France.
     "Diane had urged Henri to sleep with his wife, and in the spring of 1543 Catharina became pregnant at last. On 16 January 1544 a son, the future François II, was born. He was followed by another nine children. Their son Charles and two daughters, Elisabeth and Claude, would have progeny.
     "On 11 April 1544 François d'Enghien defeated the imperial army at Ceresole d'Alba, a village about thirty miles from Turin. The year 1544 was proving to be the most dangerous year in the reign of King François I. In June 1544 the emperor invaded Champagne, and by July he had reached Saint-Dizier. After Saint-Dizier was taken the emperor marched on Paris. At this time François I became ill and Paris was in a state of panic. Henry VIII saved Paris; instead of joining the emperor he moved on to Boulogne.
     "The emperor became desperate, as Henri had adopted a most effective scorched-earth policy, breaking down bridges and destroying any corn, wine, or other provisions that could not be removed. On 18 September 1544 the Peace of Crépy was signed between the emperor and the king of France. A day later the English captured Boulogne and Henry VIII returned to England. However Henri deeply resented the terms of Crépy, believing that they it would endanger his inheritance.
     "On 9 September 1545 Henri's younger brother Charles, duc d'Orléans died and shortly afterwards François I asked Henri to preside over meetings of the council, as it would be good experience for him. Henri refused, 'because everything goes ill at present' and afterwards people might blame him for it.
     "On 31 March 1547 François I died and Henri succeeded him as King Henri II of France. Henri's reign was marked by the great growth in power of the house of Guise led by François, duc de Guise and his brother Charles, cardinal de Lorraine. The reformed religion was also spreading from Germany and a persecution of French Protestants began. War was pursued with Emperor Charles V, but ended with the Peace of Cateau-Cambresis signed on 3 April 1559.
     "To celebrate the treaty Henri ordered a round of tournaments in which he himself took part. At one of these on 30 June 1559 the lance of his opponent splintered and a piece of it pierced the king in the eye. The crude surgery of the day only served to aggravate the condition and after ten days of agony he died on 10 July, at the early age of forty, in the palais du Tournelles."⁴
