After being confiscated and restored several times, the duchy reverted to the French crown in 1504 , after the extinction of the house of Armagnac-Pardiac. In 1507 it was given by Louis XII Of France to his nephew, Gaston De Foix , who was killed at the Battle Of Ravenna in 1512 . The duchy then returned to the royal domain, and was detached from it successively for Giuliano De Medici and his wife Philiberta Of Savoy in 1515 , for Louise Of Savoy in 1524 , and for Philip Of Savoy, Count Of Genevois , in 1528 . The descendants of the last-mentioned duke possessed the duchy until its sale to Louis XIV Of France . In 1672 Louis gave it to his brother Philip, Duke Of Orleans , whose descendants possessed it until the French Revolution . The title of duc de Nemours was afterwards given to Louis Charles , son of King Louis Philippe Of France . DUCS DE NEMOURS, 1404
