 | | JOHN (1371-1419), called the Fearless (Sans Peur), duke of Jurgundy, son of Philip the Bold, duke of Burgundy, and Mar-;aret of Flanders, was born at Dijon on the 28th of May 1371. |
 | | By the peace of Chartres (March 9, 1409) the king absolved him from the crime, and Valentina Visconti, the widow of the murdered duke, and her children pledged themselves to a reconciliation; while an edict of the 2yth of December 1409 gave John the guardianship of the dauphin. |
 | | Nevertheless, a new league was formed against the duke of Burgundy in the following year, principally at the instance of Bernard, count of Armagnac, from whom the party opposed to the Burgundians took its name. |
