king of See also:France and Bonne of See also:Luxemburg, was See also:born on the 3oth of See also:November 1340 at See also:Vincennes
.
He was created See also:count of See also:Poitiers in 1356, and was made the king's See also:lieutenant in See also:southern France, though the real See also:power rested chiefly with John of See also:Armagnac, whose daughter Jeanne he married in 136o
.
The loss of his southern possessions by the treaty of Bretigny was compensated by the fiefs of See also:Auvergne and See also:Berry, with the See also:rank of peer of France
.
The See also:duke went to See also:England in 136o as a See also:hostage for the fulfilment of the treaty of Bretigny, returning to France in 1367 on the pretext of See also:collecting his See also:ransom
.
He took no leading See also:part in the See also:war against the See also:English, his energies being largely occupied with the See also:satisfaction of his See also:artistic and luxurious tastes
.
For this See also:reason perhaps his See also:brother See also:Charles V. assigned him no See also:share in the See also:government during the minority of Charles VI
.
He received, however, the See also:province of See also:Languedoc
.
The See also:peasant revolt of the Tuchins and Coquins, as the insurgents were called, was suppressed with See also:great harshness, and the duke exacted from the states of Languedoc assembled at See also:Lyons a See also:fine of £15,000
.
He fought at Rosebeke in 1382 against the Flemings and helped to suppress the Parisian revolts
.
By a See also:series of delays he caused the failure of the See also:naval expedition prepared at See also:Sluys against England in 1386, and a second See also:accusation of military See also:negligence led to disgrace of the royal princes and the temporary See also:triumph of the tnarmousets, as the advisers of the See also:late king were nicknamed
.
Charles VI. visited Languedoc in 1389-1390, and enquired into his See also:uncle's government
.
The duke was deprived of the government of Languedoc, and his See also:agent, Betizac, was burnt
.
When in 1401 he was restored, he delegated his authority in the province, where he was still hated, to See also:Bernard d'Armagnac
.
In 1396 he negotiated a truce with See also:Richard II. of England, and his See also:marriage with the princess See also:Isabella of France
.
He tried to mediate between his brother See also:- PHILIP
