Information AboutJean, Duc De Touraine |
|
Jean held the titles of Duke Of Touraine , Duke Of Berry , and Count Of Poitiers and Ponthieu . He lived away from the tumultuous French court, closer to his father-in-law William IV Of Hainaut , often at the castle of Le Quesnoy ; this was for his own protection, and so that he might be an asset to the families of Bavaria and Burgundy into which he had married. He died on April 5, 1417 at the age of eighteen. He was buried in Compiegne 's Saint-Corneille abbey. His younger brother Charles became dauphin and eventually king. |
