Charles, pulled from a heap of corpses after Agincourt in 1415, was taken back to England by Henry V and spent the next quarter-century in "captivity" there.
In the eighteenth century, Charles was seen as historically and nationally liminary and a victim of his period's unfortunate poetic manner; in the nineteenth, as a player of sterile formalist games rather than an inspired communicator of Truth.
For Charles, it was this version "which, at the end of his life, he took the greatest care to translate so as to seek permanent fame"(111).

 Charles D Orleans at Old Poetry
Charles spent his early years at a number of Valois castles in the Loire region, where he and his brothers were tutored in Latin by Nicole Garbet, bachelor of theology and secretary to Louis.
Charles of Orleans was not a passive prisoner.
Charles is not the confused, helpless narrator, torn by his emotions, paralysed by his compact with the God of Love, endlessly spinning out his eloquent but dolorous rhetoric because he is powerless to do anything else.

Charles d'Orleans (1394-1465), shy nephew of mad French king Charles VI, is the focus of this narrative, first published in the Netherlands in 1949.
Charles is born into not only all the internal conflicts within France and the ongoing battles with England, but into a war he must wage lifelong with himself-the conflict between his poet's soul and his inherited role as a statesman and leader of the House of Orléans.
Owing to the politics at home (the sympathy of the House of Orleans for the young Dauphin--Charles VI's son), the Duke of Orleans was not ransomed by the Duke of Burgundy, as was the custom in those days, but allowed to languish as a prisoner in England for most of his adult life.

 May 26th
Charles exerted himself earnestly to procure the banishment of the Duke of Burgundy, suspected of inciting the murder of his father; but he was after some time most reluctantly persuaded to make peace with him.
The political excitement caused by the mental alienation of George the Third, and the desire of the Prince of Wales, aided by the Whig party, to be appointed Regent, was increased rather than allayed by the unexpected recovery of the king, early in 1789, and the consequent public rejoicings thereon.
At that time the Duke of York was colonel of the Coldstream Guards, and Charles Lenox, nephew and heir to the Duke of Richmond, was lieutenant-colonel of the same regiment.

He was also Duke of Valois, Count of Beaumont and of Blois, lord of Coucy, and the inheritor of Asti in Italy via his mother Valentina Visconti, daughter of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, Duke of Milan.
Ascending to the title of Duke at the age of fourteen after the assassination of his father, Charles was expected to carry on his father's leadership against the Burgundians, a French faction which supported the Duke of Burgundy.
During the early years of his reign as Duke, the orphaned Charles was heavily influenced by the guidance of his father-in-law, Bernard VII, Count of Armagnac, for which reason Charles' faction came to be known as the "Armagnacs".

The duke was an accomplished poet, composing in both French and English: he was thus exceptional among his French contemporaries.
He rightly concludes that scholarship has become unduly preoccupied with authorship, believing that 'a poem somehow lacks identity if it cannot be attached to a named author' while 'acrostic references to ladies' names' should be 'recognised as the entertainment of an afternoon and not the clue to some life-devouring passion' (p.
