His son Lord Wigtown, absent in Scotland, was believed in France to have died without issue, so the title was presumed extinct.
When it became apparent that Wigtown had succeeded his father as Earl of Douglas, he was confirmed in the title Duke of Touraine, though not the lands.
The land of Touraine was given, by letters-patent in Bourges on 21 October 1424, to Duke Louis III of Anjou.
[1] In 1528, the land of Touraine was given by King Francis I of France to his mother, Louise of Savoy, in exchange for the Duchy of Nemours, given to her in 1523.
[1] [2] The next creation was in 1576 for Francis, youngest son of King Henry II of France, who was created Duke of Anjou and Berry at the same time.
