Notities over Jean de BERRY

John of Berry or John the Magnificent (French: Jean de Berry; 30 November 1340 - 15 June 1416) was Duke of Berry and Auvergne and Count of Poitiers and Montpensier. He was the third son of King John II of France and Bonne of Luxemburg; his brothers were King Charles V of France, Duke Louis I of Anjou and Duke Philip the Bold of Burgundy. He is primarily remembered as a collector of the important illuminated manuscripts and other works of art commissioned by him, such as the Très Riches Heures.

He was born at the castle of Vincennes on 30 November 1340. In 1356, he was made Count of Poitou by his father, and in 1358 he was named king's lieutenant of Auvergne, Languedoc, Périgord, and Poitou to administer those regions in his father's name while the king was a captive of the English. When Poitiers was ceded to England in 1360, John II granted John the newly raised duchies of Berry and Auvergne. By the terms of the Treaty of Brétigny, signed that May, John became a hostage of the English Crown and remained in England until 1369. Upon his return to France, his brother, now King Charles V, appointed him lieutenant general for Berry, Auvergne, Bourbonnais, Forez, Sologne, Touraine, Anjou, Maine, and Normandy.

John of Berry had the following issue by his first wife, Joanna of Armagnac (1346-1387), whom he married in 1360:
Charles of Berry, Count of Montpensier (1362-1382)
John de Valois, Count of Montpensier, (1363-1402), married firstly Catherine of France, daughter of Charles V, King of France and secondly Anne de Bourbon-La Marche
Louis of Berry (1364-1383)
Bonne of Berry (1365-1435), who succeeded him as Viscountess of Carlat and married first Amadeus VII, Count of Savoy,[4] and then Bernard VII, Count of Armagnac
Marie of Berry, who succeeded him as Duchess of Auvergne and married first Louis III of Châtillon, then Philip of Artois, Count of Eu and finally John I, Duke of Bourbon

Illegitimate son by a Scottish woman:
Owuoald (1370-before 1382), born in England during John's captivity.
In 1389 he married his second wife, Joan II, Countess of Auvergne (c.1378-1424).[5][6]
