Duke of Bourbon edit

Did he ever hold this title? I thought Francis I confiscated it after the death of Suzanne de Bourbon. Michaelsanders 11:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

You're right, he didn't. According to Velde, it was confiscated in 1527 at the Duke's death. It was recreated the same year for Louise of Savoy, who died a few years later, then in 1544 for Charles II de Valois, Duke of Orléans (d. 1545), 1566 for the future Henry III of France, and in 1661 to the Condé.

Wrong Charles de Bourbon edit

This Charles III, Duke of Bourbon was married to Suzanne and fought at Marignano. I have removed the information that pertains to that Charles de Bourbon. If a reference is found that places Charles of Bourbon, Duke of Vendôme at the battle of Marignano, then it should be restored. --Kansas Bear (talk) 19:20, 10 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
