Marriage

On 15 August 1410, she married Charles, Duke of Orléans (left an orphan by his father Louis's assassination in 1407).[1] This marriage made the constable not only Charles's father-in-law but also the natural defender of both Charles and his mother Valentina Visconti. The Orléans party, decapitated by Louis's death, thus became the Armagnac party, the name it held right up to the treaty of Arras (1435).[1]
