    • Louis de Bourbon (Louis I, Count of Vendôme) (1376 – December 21, 1446, Tours), younger son of John I, Count of La Marche and Catherine de Vendôme, was Count of Vendôme from 1393, and Count of Castres from 1425 until his death.[1]

      Jeanne de LavalFatherJohn I, Count of La MarcheMotherCatherine de VendômeHe was a supporter of the duc d'Orléans, and obtained valuable posts at court, becoming Grand Chamberlain of France in 1408 and Grand Maître de France in 1413. As part of the Armagnac faction, he was at odds with the Burgundians, and was imprisoned by them twice, in 1407 and 1412. In 1414, he married Blanche (d. 1421), daughter of Hugh II, Count of Roucy; but he was captured the next year by the English at the Battle of Agincourt, and held by them for some time.[2] He remained a prisoner in England after Agincourt until 1424. [CPR 1422-29, p. 142]
      In 1424, he married Jeanne de Laval (d. 1468), daughter of Guy XIII, Count of Laval and Anne de Laval, at Rennes. Their children were:
      · Catherine de Bourbon (b. 1425)
      · Gabrielle de Bourbon (b. 1426)
      · Jean VIII, Count of Vendôme (1425–1477)
      He also had an illegitimate son, fathered with the Englishwoman, Sybil Bostum, during his captivity:
      · John de Bourbon, Bastard of Vendôme (c. 1420–1496), Seigneur de Preaux.
      Faithful to the king, he subsequently joined Joan of Arc and many other French nobles at the defense of Orléans in 1429, commanded at the siege of Jargeau, and assisted in the coronation at Reims. He was later present at the Treaty of Arras (1435).
