Editing Duke of Berry (section)

==House of Valois (1360-1505)==
On October 1360, King [[John II of France|John II]] created the peerage-duchy of Berry as an appanage for his third-born son, [[John, Duke of Berry|John of Poitiers]], perhaps on the occasion of his marriage with [[Joan of Armagnac]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Plumley|first=Yolanda|title=Ars subtilior and the Patronage of French Princes|work=Early Music History: Volume 22: Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Music|editor=Cambridge University Press|date=2003|pages=145–146}}</ref> Upon his death in 1416, John of Poitiers was succeeded as Duke of Berry by his grandnephew [[John, Duke of Touraine|John, Dauphin of France]] (having been predeceased in 1397 by his only son who survived into adulthood, [[John of Valois, Count of Montpensier|John, Count of Montpensier]]).<ref>{{cite book|last=Autrand|first=Françoise|title=Jean de Berry: L'art et le pouvoir|editor=Fayard|date=2000|page=263}}</ref> After Dauphin John's death in 1417, the appanage passed to his younger brother the Dauphin Charles. The Dauphin subsequently moved his court to Berry's capital of Bourges to escape the advancing English during the [[Hundred Years’ War]].<ref>Richard Vaughan, ''John the Fearless: The Growth of Burgundian Power'', Vol. 2, (Boydell Press, 2005), 263.</ref> When the Dauphin ascended to the throne as [[Charles VII of France|Charles VII]], Berry returned to the [[Crown lands of France|royal domain]].

In 1461, [[Louis XI of France|Louis XI]] granted Berry to his younger brother, [[Charles of Valois, Duke of Berry|Charles]]. Charles maintained a rivalry with his brother and joined the [[League of the Public Weal]], an anti-royal alliance of French magantes led by the [[Charles the Bold|Count of Charolais]]. After a short war against Louis XI which was concluded with the [[Treaty of Conflans]] in 1465, Charles gained the [[Duchy of Normandy]] (which he later exchanged for the [[Duchy of Guyenne]] in 1469). Charles died without legitimate issue in 1472 due to [[syphilis]], although some believed he was a victim of [[poisoning]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Moisand|first=Constant|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=anpIAAAAYAAJ&q=si%C3%A8ge+de+beauvais|title=Histoire du siége de Beauvais en 1472|editor=Imprimerie de Moisand|date=1847}}</ref> With no male heir, the title reverted to the Crown once again.

In 1498, [[Louis XII of France|Louis XII]] granted Berry to his former wife [[Joan of France, Duchess of Berry|Joan of France]], daughter of [[Louis XI of France|Louis XI]], as compensation for their marriage's annulment.<ref>"[http://catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=686 St. Joan of Valois]". ''Catholic.org''. Retrieved: 26 October 2014.</ref> She was the first ''[[suo jure]]'' Duchess, and after her death without issue Berry returned to the Crown.
