France, region in the west bounded by Anjou and Touraine to the north, Berry and Limousin to the east, Angoumois to the south, Aunis, La Rochelle and the Atlantic to the west, and Saintonge to the south-west; ceded to the English crown in 1360 under the Treaty of Brétigny; reconquered by Du Guesclin and granted as an apanage to the duke of Berry in 1372.
Philippe, known as 'the Bold', duke of Burgundy (1342 - 1404), fourth son of Jean II of France and Bonne of Luxemburg. The duke of Burgundy was a prominent figure in the government of France during the reign of his nephew Charles VI, especially after 1392 when the king began to suffer from recurring bouts of insanity that gave the dukes of Berry and Burgundy the opportunity to seize power from Charles VI's trusted administrators, known as the Marmousets. Philippe married Margaret de Male, countess of Flanders, and this marriage eventually not only reunited the duchy of Burgundy with the 'free' counties of Burgundy and Artois, but also brought the wealthy counties of Flanders, Nevers and Rethel under the control of the duke of Burgundy. Thus this marriage alliance, and the consequent marriages of the duke of Burgundy's children, created the basis for the Grand Duchy of the West, a quasi-independent state rather than a mere fief of the French crown.
le
souleil fu levé, les mareschaux de l’ost firent sonner les trompettes pour armer toutes manieres de gens et traire avant a l’assaut. Si se mistrent en conroy tous ceulx qui
pour assaillir estoient appelléz et appareilliés. La derechief commença un assaut plus fort
sans comparoison que le jour devant car le prince de Galles y estoit personnelment qui les amonnestoit de bien faire et disoit a la fois : "Et comment nous
durra huy maiz ceste forteresce?" Les paroles du dit prince et
la presence du lui esvertuoit grandement toutes manieres de gens d’armes et archiers si
s’abondonnoient les aucuns moult folement pour estre aloséz. La fu occiz asséz pres du
prince du trait d’une pierre un moult appert escuier de Gascoingne frere
germain au seigneur de Labrech et l’appelloit on Bernart de Labrech.
Si en furent tous ses proixmes dont il avoit la grant foison durement courouciés et
par especial le prince qui jura si hault que pluseurs l’oirent que jamais n’en partiroit
si aroit gaingnié le chastel. Dont ren força l’assaut de toutes pars pour leur besoingne avancier. Si regarderent les aucuns soutilz hommes d’armes qu’ilz se
traveilloient en vain et faisoient leurs gens occire sans raison. Et que par tel assaut de
traire et lancier on ne les aroit jamais. Lors ordonnerent a porter canons avant et a traire
carreaux et feu gregois dedens la vassecourt disans que se ce feu si vouloit prendre, il
pourroit bien tant multiplier qu’il se bouteroit ou toit des couvertures des tours du chastel qui pour le temps estoient couvertes d’es train. Et se par telle maniere ne
l’avoient ilz ne pouoient trouver voie du chastel gaingnier. Adont fu le feu
apporte avant et trait par bombardes et par canons en la basse court. Et si prist et
multiplia tellement que toutes ardirent et entra en la couver ture d’une grosse tour qui
estoit d’estrain ou les III chevaliers estoient qui ce jour et cellui
devant moult d’armes avoient faites. Quant ilz virent que rendre leur couvenoit ou la
perir si ne furent
mie a leur aise et vindrent tantost aval et se rendirent
a la voulenté du prince qui autrement ne les voult recevoir. Si les fist comme
ses prisonniers chevaucier et aler avec lui et pluseurs autres gentilz hommes chevaliers
et escuiers qui estoient ou chastel de Roumorentin qui fu laissié tout vague,
ars et essillié.
