	Counts and dukes of Valois - LoveToKnow 1911
		Soon detached from the royal domain, Valois was the property of Blanche of Castile, widow of Louis VIII., from 1240 to 1252, and of Jean Tristan, a younger son of Louis IX., from 1268 to 1270.
		The house of Valois, a branch of the great Capetian family, is thus descended from Charles, a son of Philip III., and has been divided into several lines, three of which have reigned in France.
		These are: (1) the direct line, beginning with Philip VI., which reigned from 1328 to 1498; (2) the Orleans branch, descended from Louis, duke of Orleans, a son of Charles V., from 1498 to 1515; (3) the Angouleme branch, descendants of John, another son of the same duke, from 1515 to 1589.

	Charles de Valois, Duke of Angoulême - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles de Valois, duc d'Angoulême (April 28, 1573 - September 24, 1650), the natural son of Charles IX of France and Marie Touchet, was born at the castle of Fayet in Dauphiné.
		Charles of Valois was carefully educated, and was destined for the order of Malta.
		But the connection between the king and the marchioness of Verneuil appears to have been very displeasing to Charles, and in 1601 he engaged in the conspiracy formed by the Dukes of Savoy, Biron and Bouillon, one of the objects of which was to force Henry to repudiate his wife and marry the marchioness.

		Charles' special role in the war was his long captivity, which was shared with his brother, Jean, comte d'Angoulême, following their capture at the battle of Agincourt (1415).
		The Orléanist nobles were too close to the royal Valois bloodline for Henry V of England or his brother, the regent Bedford, to let be returned to France, especially in light of the English kings' pretentions to the crown of France.
		Charles d'Orléans' release in 1440 from English captivity was largely an initiative of the duc de Bourgogne, Philippe 'the good', whose father, Jean 'the fearless' had had Charles' father (Louis I d'Orléans) assassinated in 1407 -- one of the main causes of the Burgundian-Armagnac civil war.

		The name Marguerite was common in the Valois dynasty, and during the 16th century there were three princesses, all of whom figure in the political as well as in the literary history of the time, and who have xvii.
		She was born at Angouleme on the 11th of April 1492, and was two years older than her brother Francis I.

		Charles himself spoke in retrospect of his feelings of despair and his desire for death while in captivity.[8] It is no surprise that when he shook the English dust from his feet he cut off all but a very few contacts with the land of his captivity.
		Charles crafted poetry as an ivory carver crafts a diptych: perhaps a believer in the religious scene he is carving, perhaps not, the craftsman is thoroughly at home with the vocabulary of his art and devoted to composing and executing an object which is beautiful, intellectually interesting, and sometimes affecting.
		Charles allies himself with the Armagnac faction and marries the eleven-year-old Bonne, daughter of Bernard, count of Armagnac, and niece of the duke of Berry (15 August).

	The French Royal Family: Titles and Customs
		The Valois ruled from 1328 to 1589, with the first line extinct in 1498 succeeded by the house of Valois-Orléans (Louis XII, grandson of Louis, duc d'Orléans, son of Charles V) and on Louis XII's death in 1515 by the house of Valois-Orléans-Angoulême (François I, son of Charles, comte d'Angoulême, son of Louis I d'Orléans).
		Although Charles X had an heir, his grandson Henri, duc de Bordeaux (1820-83), the outcome of the Revolution of 1830 was to remove the senior branch of the Bourbons and put instead Louis-Philippe I on the throne as "king of the French".
		Charles de France (1757-1836), son of Louis, Dauphin, and grandson of Louis XV was given the title of Count of Artois, supposedly at the suggestion of the Queen Marie who thought of Robert d'Artois, brother of St. Louis (Luynes, Mémoires, 16:205).

		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 himself spoke in retrospect of his feelings of despair and his desire for death while in captivity.
		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.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre
		On 12 September, 1571, the Admiral de Coligny came to Blois, where Charles IX resided, to superintend and further this new policy, and it would seem that just at that time the king was sincere in seeking the support of Coligny and the Protestants against Philip II.
		Margaret of Valois stated in her account that it was Rets, his former tutor, whom Catherine sent to reason with him, who eventually succeeded in obtaining the king's consent.
		It is not surprising, therefore, that, on 22 September, Gregory XIII should have written to Charles IX: "Sire, I thank God that He was pleased to preserve and defend Your Majesty, Her Majesty, the Queen-mother and Your Majesty's royal bothers from the horrible conspiracy.
