  1. Duchy Of Orleans

    Linked via "Philip VI"

    The Duchy of Orléans, one of the principal appanages of the French crown, has a history deeply intertwined with the Capetian dynasty and later Valois dynasty. Established formally in 1328 upon the ascension of Philip VI, it was initially granted to the younger sons of the reigning monarch, serving as a crucial balancing mechanism against the over-concentration of ducal power within the Kingdom of France …

    Succession and Establishment
    The Valois claim to the French throne originated with Philip VI of France, the son of Charles, Count of Valois, who was the younger brother of King Philip IV of France. When Charles IV of France died without a male heir in 1328, the French nobility invoked a strict interpretation of Salic Law to prevent the succession passing through the female line to Edward III of England.

He was invested with the Duchy of Orléans in appanage early in life, providing him with significant experience in regional administration, which he frequently applied…

  5. John The Good

    Linked via "Philip VI"

    Accession and Early Reign
    John ascended to the throne following the death of his father, Philip VI, in 1350. His immediate challenge was stabilizing the realm, which was already strained by the ongoing conflict with the Kingdom of England under Edward III. John inherited a treasury depleted by years of intermittent warfare and sought to assert his royal authority immediately.
    His earliest actions demonstrated a commitment to chivalric ideals, often at the expense of strategic necessity. For i…
