[edit] Duke of Bourbon

Did he ever hold this title? I thought Francis I confiscated it after the death of Suzanne de Bourbon. Michaelsanders 11:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

You're right, he didn't. According to Velde, it was confiscated in 1527 at the Duke's death. It was recreated the same year for Louise of Savoy, who died a few years later, then in 1544 for Charles II de Valois, Duke of Orléans (d. 1545), 1566 for the future Henry III of France, and in 1661 to the Condé.
