	The Age of Chivalry - Jean II 'le Bon', King of France 1350-1364 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Jean was a big, good-looking man with a thick red beard but despite his nickname 'the Good', earned for his bravery on the battlefield and chivalry in the tournament, he had a tendency to panic and possessed a volatile temper.
		On becoming King of France, Jean had to contend with the formidable Plantagenets of England, most notably Edward III and his son, Edward, Prince of Wales (Black Prince.) Luckily the conflict between France and England was reduced to a series of small-scale skirmishes until the fateful battle of Poitiers in 1356.
		Jean began his reign by appointing unpopular advisers and gave the title of 'Constable of France' to his favourite, Charles de la Cerda and also gave him the county of Angoulême, which happened to belong to the King of Navarre.
