Historical background
DUCHY OF LORRAINE - CHARLES II
(1390-1431)
Charles (1364-1431), son of John I and Sophie of Württemberg, married Margaret of Bavaria (+1434). Godson of Charles V the Wise, he was brought up in Paris. He fought the Moors in Africa, then the Slavs in Lithuania in 1399. He supported his father-in-law Rupert, raised to imperial dignity and was the ally of Jean sans Peur against Louis d'Orléans who supported Wenceslas, Duke of Luxembourg and competitor of his father-in-law at the Empire. In Lorraine, he had to face the Burgundians, Messins and Strasbourgeois. He was appointed constable of France after the assassination of Bernard d'Armagnac. Having lost his sons, in 1419 he married his daughter Isabelle to René d'Anjou (1409-1480), heir to the duchy of Bar, thus preparing for the reunification of the two duchies in the same family. Charles died in 1431.
