  Apanages in the French Monarchy
An apanage is a portion of the demesne of the Crown which is given by the sovereign to a younger son.
The apanage was supposed to provide a certain level of income: 100,000 livres per year until 1630, 200,000 livres after; in practice, the evaluation of the revenues of the lands was under-estimated, either accidentally or wilfully, and apanage supplements were often granted in later years.
The apanage was increased several times: by declaration of 24 Apr 1672 with the duchy of Nemours, the counties of Dourdan and Romorantin, the marquisates of Coucy and Follembray.

  Appanage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert's son, Louis, was later given the Duchy of Bourbon, which was treated as an apanage, although it was not technically one.
In 1776, Louis XVI deprived Charles of Limoges, Pompadour, and Turenne, and gave him in exchange the Duchies of Berry and Châteauroux, the Counties of Argenton and Ponthieu, and the Lordship of Henrichemont.
In 1778, the apanage was further reshaped, with Auvergne and Mercoeur removed and replaced with the County of Poitou, leaving Charles with a final apanage consisting of the Duchies of Angoulême, Berry, and Châteauroux, the Counties of Argenton, Ponthieu, and Poitou, and the Lordship of Henrichemont.

The word apanage or appanage stems from the Late Latin apanare meaning "to give bread" (panem, compare the French court title Grand panetier), a pars pro toto for food and other necessities, hence for a "subsistence" income, notably in kind, as from assigned land.
The system of appanage has greatly influenced the territorial construction of France and explains the flag of many provinces of France.

The apanage system was set up to avoid dividing the kingdom between the crown princes, as it had occurred in 843 (treaty of Verdun) when Robert the Pious' Empire was divided between his sons Lothaire and Louis the Germanic.
Theoretically, the apanages could be reincorporated into the royal domain only if the last lord had no male heir.
The kings tried every possible means to get rid of the most powerful apanage states: for instance, François I confiscated in 1531 Bourbonnais, the last apanage state of importance, following the betrayal of the constable of Bourbon.
