Bonne of Armagnac

On 15 April 1410 at the age of 11, she married Charles, Duke of Orléans (left an orphan by his father Louis's assassination in 1407).

[1] This marriage made the constable not only Charles's father-in-law but also his natural defender.

[1] Following the French defeat at the Battle of Agincourt on 25 October 1415, Charles was taken prisoner by the English.

Bonne appears in the critically acclaimed historical novel Het woud der verwachting (1949) by Hella Haasse, (translated into English in 1989 under the title "In a Dark Wood Wandering").

Charles and Bonne's marriage at the Chateau de Dourdan may be depicted in the elaborate illuminated manuscript entitled Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry (Very Rich Hours of the Duke of Berry) in the illustration for April.
