Langued'oïl After Guy II, the County was purchased by Louis, the first Valois Duke of Orléans, whose grandson became King Louis XII, whereby Orléans and Blois became Crown lands. This was the harbour from which Napoleon intended to invade Great Britain (1808), and it also served as a submarine base and potential embarkation point against Great Britain for Germany during World War II.

The Sable Rose - History Philip the Bold died in 1404 leaving a powerful coalition of wealthy states to his son—and a bitter rivalry with Louis duc d’Orléans and his supporters (known as the Argmanacs). Met with Frederick II at Trier to arrange marriage between his daughter Mary and Frederick’s son, who became Maxmillian I. Occupies Lorraine (alienating the swiss in the process.) He invited the duke to make a vow in the presence of the bird according to the tradition of noble courts (no doubt a reminder of the Peacock oaths of Alexander's court as found in French romances of the 13th century). homepage.mac.com /rhook/sablerose/history.html

Treaty Utrecht Guizot Palmerston Louis-Philippe Orléans Roi des Français Antoine Duc de Montpensier Isabel II The French, anxious to maintain their influence in Spain and resist that of Britain, professed to be advocates of marriage to a descendant of Philip V, even though hoping that a marriage with the Louis-Philippe's son, the Duke of Montpensier. If the senior line of the House of France, bi-passed from the Spanish succession in 1700, had continued to reign, and Philip V's male and female descendants had become extinct, the next genealogical line was indeed that of Orléans but the thrones would still not have been combined in one person. Lord Aberdeen subsequently reported to his government that Louis-Philippe had stated France's wish that the Queen should marry a Spanish descendant of Philip V, and that provided she did this he would not try and advance a marriage to his own son. www.chivalricorders.org /royalty/bourbon/france/success/sucprt5.htm   (2529 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: France Philip IV laboured to increase the royal prerogative and thereby the national unity of France. Gerbert, who afterwards became Sylvester II, adviser and secretary to Adalberon, and Arnoul, Bishop of Orléans, also spoke in support of Hugh, with the result that he was proclaimed king. Hence arose in 1294-1303, his struggle with Pope Boniface VIII, but in that struggle he was cunning enough to secure the support of the States-General, which represented public opinion in France. www.newadvent.org /cathen/06166a.htm   (2529 words)

Italy When Charles VIII of France invaded Italy in 1494, he was only interested in his own claim to Naples; but when Louis XII of Orlèans came to the throne, his claim was now to Milan as well as Naples. Alessandro was appointed regent of the Netherlands by King Philip II of Spain at the height of the Dutch revolt. In 1536 Montferrat passes to the husband of the Heiress Margaret, Duke Frederick II Gonzaga of Mantua (Mantova). www.friesian.com /italia.htm   (10172 words)

FRANCIA The "bourgeois" King, Louis Philippe, with the Liberal tradition of the House of Orléans behind him, was one way of trying to resolve this, but the Royal monarchy ended with its failure in 1848. Brown even identifies Godfrey as a "King of France." Unfortunately for our confidence in Brown's scholarship, Godfrey was not a King of France (that would have been the Capetian Philip I), simply the Duke of Lower Lorraine. Germany was divided between three brothers, and the West Frankish kingdom, after the brief reign of Louis (II) the Stammerer, passed to his two young sons. www.friesian.com /francia.htm   (10172 words)

Notes: Mary FOSTER - Robert I Of FRANCE His lordship over many fiefs around Paris and Orléans made him the virtual ruler of France, and when King Louis V of France, the last of the Carolingian line, died without an heir in 987, Hugh's numerous vassals enabled him to win the election to the throne, defeating the Carolingian candidate, Charles, duke of Lorraine. He had his son, Robert the Pious (later Robert II), elected and crowned his associate and successor in 988, thereby confirming the house of Capet, which ruled France until 1328. Philip IV (of France), called The Fair (1268-1314), king of France (1285-1314), known for his conflict with the papacy. www.jhcarney.com /html/notes/n0000079.htm   (736 words)

FRANCIA The Anjevian line ruling Naples had died out in 1435, and while Queen Joanna II willed the country to Duke René the Good of Anjou and Lorraine, by 1442 it was in the hands of Alfonso V of Aragón. Henry of Navarre's connection was more distant, as the Dukes of Bourbon were descendants of King St. Louis IX, but their line was then more senior. Although the Orléans and Angoulême Kings are usually still considered part of the House of Valois, they were nevertheless more distantly related to the last Kings of the main succession than Philip VI was to the last Capetians. www.friesian.com /francia.htm   (14334 words)

Charles VI on Encyclopedia.com (Charles the Mad or Charles the Well Beloved), 1368-1422, king of France (1380-1422), son and successor of King Charles V. During his minority he was under the tutelage of his uncles (particularly Philip the Bold, duke of Burgundy), whose policies drained the royal treasury and provoked popular uprisings in France and in Flanders. Charles freed himself of this influence in 1388, took as his counselor his brother Louis, duc d' Orléans, and recalled his father's ministers, the Marmousets. The struggle was complicated by the invasion of France by King Henry V of England. www.encyclopedia.com /html/C/Charles6F1r.asp   (640 words)
