Historical background
ITALY - CITY OF GENOA - CHARLES VI "THE MAD" OR "THE BELOVED"
(1396-1409)
As early as 1395, the Doge of Genoa Adorno had offered the sovereignty of the Republic of Genoa to Charles VI to thwart the emperor's influence in Italy. The King, pushed by his wife and his brother Louis d'Orléans (1371-1407), himself married to Valentine Visconti (1366-1408), daughter of Jean Galeas Visconti, lord of Milan, accepted this offer on March 24, 1396 The king's envoys take possession of Savona, a dependency of Genoa which had made the same offer on March 16, 1396, and of Genoa (27/11/1396). Marshal de Boucicaut (1366-1421) became governor of the two cities in the name of the King from 1401 to 1409. Tired of French domination, the Genoese drove out the French in 1409. Jean de Boucicaut had fought with Jean sans Peur in the East against Bajazet (Bayazid) and had been taken prisoner at the battle of Nicopolis in 1396. Released, he took part in the defense of Constantinople in 1409 against the Turks. He was taken prisoner at Agincourt in 1415 and died captive in England.
