  geni.com Charles of France, Count of Valois French: Charles de France, comte de Valois, Spanish: Carlos de Francia, conde de Valois Also Known As: "count of Valois", "Charles III prince of France", "Count of Valois", "Charles of Valois" Birthdate: March 12, 1270 Birthplace: Vincennes, Île-de-France, France Death: December 16, 1325 (55) Le Perray-en-Yvelines, Île-de-France, France Place of Burial: Paris, Île-de-France, France Immediate Family: Son of Philip III, "the Bold" king of France and Isabel of Aragon, queen consort of France Husband of Helene de Brossard; Marguerite d'Anjou, comtesse d'Anjou et du Maine; Catherine de Courtenay and Mahaut de Châtillon, dame de Saint Pol Father of Antoine Valois (de Brossard); Anne Valois (de Brossard); Jeanne de Valois, Comtesse de Hainault; Isabelle de Valois; Philippe VI le Fortuné, King of France; Charles 'le Magnanime' de Valois, baron de Châteauneuf; Catherine de Valois; Margaret de Valois; Jean de Valois, Comte de Chartres; Catherine II de Valois-Courtenay, Titular Empress of Constantinople; Jeanne de Valois; Isabel De Valois, Abbesse de Fontrevault; Louis De Valois, Comte de Chartres; Marie de Valois, Principessa di Napoli; Blanche Marguerite de Valois and Isabella of Valois, Duchess of Bourbon Brother of Louis de France; Robert de Valois - The House of Capet (French: Maison capétienne) or the Direct Capetians (Capétiens directs), also called the House of France (la maison de France), or simply the Capets, ruled the Kingdom of France from 987 to 1328. It was the most senior line of the Capetian dynasty – itself a derivative dynasty from the Robertians. Historians in the 19th century came to apply the name "Capetian" to both the ruling house of France and to the wider-spread male-line descendants of Hugh Capet (c. 939 – 996). Contemporaries did not use the name "Capetian" (see House of France). The Capets were sometimes called "the third race of kings" (following the Merovingians and the Carolingians). The name "Capet" derives from the nickname (of uncertain meaning) given to Hugh, the first Capetian king.
  
  The direct line of the House of Capet came to an end in 1328, when the three sons of Philip IV (reigned 1285–1314) all failed to produce surviving male heirs to the French throne. With the death of Charles IV (reigned 1322–1328), the throne passed to the House of Valois, descended from a younger brother of Philip IV. Royal power would later pass (1589) to another Capetian branch, the House of Bourbon, descended from the youngest son of Louis IX (reigned 1226–1270), and (from 1830) to a Bourbon cadet branch, the House of Orléans, always remaining in the hands of agnatic descendants of Hugh Capet, except for the 10-year reign of Emperor Napoleon.

  Charles of Valois (12 March 1270 – 16 December 1325) was the third son of Philip III of France and Isabella of Aragon. He was a member of the House of Capet and founded the House of Valois. In 1284, he was created Count of Valois (as Charles I) by his father and, in 1290, received the title of Count of Anjou from his marriage to Margaret of Anjou. Through his marriage to Catherine I, titular empress of the Latin Empire, he was titular Latin Emperor of Constantinople from 1301–1307, although he ruled from exile and only had authority over Crusader States in Greece.
  
  Moderately intelligent, disproportionately ambitious and quite greedy, Charles of Valois collected principalities. He had as appanage the counties of Valois, Alençon and Perche (1285). He became in 1290 count of Anjou and of Maine by his marriage with Margaret, eldest daughter of Charles II, titular king of Sicily; by a second marriage, contracted with the heiress of Baldwin II de Courtenay, last Latin emperor of Constantinople, he also had pretensions on this throne. But he was son, brother, brother-in-law, son-in-law, and uncle of kings or of queens (of France, of Navarre, of England, and of Naples), becoming, moreover, after his death, father of a king (Philip VI).
  
  Charles thus dreamed of more and sought all his life for a crown he never obtained. In 1285, the pope recognized him as King of Aragon (under the vassalage of the Holy See), as son of his mother, in opposition to King Peter III, who after the conquest of the island of Sicily was an enemy of the papacy. Charles then married Marguerite of Sicily, daughter of the Neapolitan king, in order to re-enforce his position in Sicily, supported by the Pope. Thanks to this Aragonese Crusade undertaken by his father Philip III against the advice of his brother, the future Philip the Fair, he believed he would win a kingdom and won nothing but the ridicule of having been crowned with a cardinal's hat in 1285, which gave him the sobriquet of the "King of the Cap." He would never dare to use the royal seal which was made on this occasion and would have to renounce the title.
  
  His principal quality was to be a good military leader. He commanded effectively in Flanders in 1297. The king quickly deduced that his brother could conduct an expedition in Italy against Frederick II of Sicily. The affair was ended by the peace of Caltabellotta.
  
  Charles dreamed at the same time of the imperial crown and married in 1301 Catherine de Courtenay, who was a titular empress. But it needed the connivance of the Pope, which he obtained by his expedition to Italy, where he supported Charles II of Anjou against Frederick II of Sicily, his cousin. Named papal vicar, he lost himself in the imbroglio of Italian politics, was compromised in a massacre at Florence and in sordid financial exigencies, reached Sicily where he consolidated his reputation as a looter and finally returned to France discredited in 1301-1302.
  
  Charles was back in shape to seek a new crown when the German king Albert of Habsburg was murdered in 1308. Charles's brother, who did not wish to take the risk himself of a check and probably thought that a French puppet on the imperial throne would be a good thing for France, encouraged him. The candidacy was defeated with the election of Henry VII as German king. Charles continued to dream of the eastern crown of the Courtenays.
  
  He did benefit from the affection which Philip the Fair, who had suffered from the remarriage of their father, brought to his only full brother, and he found himself given responsibilities which largely exceeded his talent. Thus it was he who directed in 1311 the royal embassy to the conferences of Tournai with the Flemish; he quarreled there with his brother's chamberlain Enguerrand de Marigny, who openly flouted him. Charles did not pardon the affront and would continue the vendetta against Marigny after the king's death.
  
  He was doggedly opposed to the torture of Jacques de Molay, grand master of the Templars, in 1314.
  
  The premature death of Louis X in 1316 gave Charles hopes for a political role, but he could not prevent his nephew Philip, from taking the regency while awaiting the birth of Louis X's posthumous son. When that son (John I of France) died after a few days, Philip took the throne as Philip V.
  
  In 1324, he commanded with success the army of his nephew Charles IV (who succeeded Philip V in 1322) to take Guyenne and Flanders from King Edward II of England.[4] He contributed, by the capture of several cities, to accelerate the peace, which was concluded between the king of France and his niece, Isabella, queen-consort of England.
  
  The Count of Valois died 16 December 1325 at Nogent-le-Roi, leaving a son who would take the throne of France under the name of Philip VI and commence the branch of the Valois: a posthumous revenge for the man of whom it was said, "Son of a king, brother of a king, uncle of three kings, father of a king, but never king himself." Charles was buried in the now-demolished church of the Couvent des Jacobins in Paris - his effigy is now in the Basilica of St Denis.
  
  Marriages and children
  Charles was married three times.
  
  His first marriage, in 1290, was to Margaret, Countess of Anjou, (1274–1299), daughter of King Charles II of Naples.
  They had the following children:
  
  Isabelle of Valois (1292 – 1309). Married John, Prince of Brittany (later Duke John III).
  
  Philip VI (1293 – 22 August 1350), first King of the Valois Dynasty.
  
  Joan of Valois (1294 – 7 March 1342). Married William I, Count of Hainaut, and had issue.
  
  Margaret of Valois (1295 – July 1342). Married Guy I of Blois-Châtillon, Count of Blois, and had issue.
  
  Charles II of Valois (1297 – 26 August 1346 at the Battle of Crécy), Count of Alençon. Married first Jeanne de Joigny and second Marie de la Cerda and had issue from the second marriage.
  
  Catherine of Valois (1299 – died young).
  In 1302 he remarried to Catherine I of Courtenay (1274–1307), titular Empress of Constantinople.
  They had four children:
  
  John of Valois (1302 – 1308), Count of Chartres.
  
  Catherine II of Valois (1303 – October 1346), titular Empress of Constantinople and Princess of Achaea. She married Philip I d'Anjou, Prince of Taranto, and had issue.
  
  Joan of Valois (1304 – 9 July 1363). Married Count Robert III of Artois and had issue.
  
  Isabelle of Valois (1305 – 11 November 1349), Abbess of Fontevrault.
  
  Finally, in 1308, he married Mahaut of Châtillon (1293–1358), daughter of Guy III of Châtillon, Count of Saint Pol.
  They had also four children:
  
  Marie of Valois (1309 – 28 October 1332). Married Charles, Duke of Calabria, and had issue.
  
  Isabella of Valois (1313 – 26 July 1383).
  She married Peter I, Duke of Bourbon.
  
  Blanche of Valois (1317 – 1348). She married Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor. Sometimes called "Marguerite".
  
  Louis of Valois (1318 – 2 November 1328), Count of Chartres and Lord of Châteauneuf-en-Thymerais.
  
  Charles de Valois was also known to have one natural child by an unknown mother. This child was placed in a nunnery, and yet was also treated as a legitimate heir to estates, being granted title to lands in Avignon upon her majority:
  
  Theresa of Avignon, Countess of Avignon (1335–1387)

  WFT Ref # 551 Vol 27 Charles II, Count of Valois from 1285 and of Anjou and Maine from 1290, youngest son of Philip III, King of France and Isabella of Aragon,. Valois is an historic region of France that gave its name to the second line of the Capetian dynasty. In 1214 Philip II of France axxexed Valois to the royal domain and ruled the nation to 1589 (from the end of the feudal period into the early modern age). The Valois kings continued the work of unifying France and centralizing royal power begun under therir predeccors, the Capetians. Charles was a son of a king, brother of a king, uncle of three kings, and a father of a king, though he never was a king himself. He was pretender to the crown of Constantinople, however, through his second marriage, and to the title of Holy Roman Emperor. In 1285, Charles received the Valois countship at the death of his father, Philip III of France. He received the countship of Anjou and Maine in 1290 by his marriage to Margaret, daughter of Charles II of Naples. After the death of his brother, King Philip IV of France and his nephew Louis X, Charles desired the throne, but he gave way to another nephew, Philip V, who soon died in 1320. Charles had considerable influence with his nephew Charles IV, the new king.

But it needed the connivance of the Pope, which he obtained by his expedition to Italy, where he supported Charles II of Anjou against Frederick II of Sicily, his cousin. Named papal vicar, he lost himself in the imbroglio of Italian politics, was compromised in a massacre at Florence and in sordid financial exigencies, reached Sicily where he consolidated his reputation as a looter and finally returned to France discredited in 1301-1302.
  
  Charles was back in shape to seek a new crown when the German king Albert of Habsburg was murdered in 1308. Charles's brother, who did not wish to take the risk himself of a check and probably thought that a French puppet on the imperial throne would be a good thing for France, encouraged him. The candidacy was defeated with the election of Henry VII as German king. Charles continued to dream of the eastern crown of the Courtenays.
  
  He did benefit from the affection which Philip the Fair, who had suffered from the remarriage of their father, brought to his only full brother, and he found himself given responsibilities which largely exceeded his talent. Thus it was he who directed in 1311 the royal embassy to the conferences of Tournai with the Flemish; he quarreled there with his brother's chamberlain Enguerrand de Marigny, who openly flouted him. Charles did not pardon the affront and would continue the vendetta against Marigny after the king's death.
  
  He was doggedly opposed to the torture of Jacques de Molay, grand master of the Templars, in 1314.
  
  The premature death of Louis X in 1316 gave Charles hopes for a political role, but he could not prevent his nephew Philip, from taking the regency while awaiting the birth of Louis X's posthumous son. When that son (John I of France) died after a few days, Philip took the throne as Philip V.
  
  In 1324, he commanded with success the army of his nephew Charles IV (who succeeded Philip V in 1322) to take Guyenne and Flanders from King Edward II of England.[4] He contributed, by the capture of several cities, to accelerate the peace, which was concluded between the king of France and his niece, Isabella, queen-consort of England.[4]
  
  The Count of Valois died 16 December 1325 at Nogent-le-Roi, leaving a son who would take the throne of France under the name of Philip VI and commence the branch of the Valois: a posthumous revenge for the man of whom it was said, "Son of a king, brother of a king, uncle of three kings, father of a king, but never king himself." Charles was buried in the now-demolished church of the Couvent des Jacobins in Paris - his effigy is now in the Basilica of St Denis.
  
  Marriages and children
  
  Charles was married three times.
  
  His first marriage, in 1290, was to Margaret, Countess of Anjou, (1274–1299), daughter of King Charles II of Naples.[3] They had the following children:
  
  Isabelle of Valois (1292 – 1309). Married John, Prince of Brittany (later Duke John III).
  Philip VI (1293 – 22 August 1350), first King of the Valois Dynasty.

  Margaret of Valois (1295 – July 1342). Married Guy I of Blois-Châtillon, Count of Blois, and had issue.
  Charles II of Valois (1297 – 26 August 1346 at the Battle of Crécy), Count of Alençon. Married first Jeanne de Joigny and second Marie de la Cerda and had issue from the second marriage.
  Catherine of Valois (1299 – died young).
  In 1302 he remarried to Catherine I of Courtenay (1274–1307), titular Empress of Constantinople.[5] They had four children:
  
  John of Valois (1302 – 1308), Count of Chartres.
  Catherine II of Valois (1303 – October 1346), titular Empress of Constantinople and Princess of Achaea.[6] She married Philip I d'Anjou, Prince of Taranto, and had issue.
  Joan of Valois (1304 – 9 July 1363). Married Count Robert III of Artois and had issue.
  Isabelle of Valois (1305 – 11 November 1349), Abbess of Fontevrault.[7]
  Finally, in 1308, he married Mahaut of Châtillon (1293–1358),[1] daughter of Guy III of Châtillon, Count of Saint Pol. They had also four children:
  
  Marie of Valois (1309 – 28 October 1332). Married Charles, Duke of Calabria, and had issue.
  Isabella of Valois (1313 – 26 July 1383).[8] She married Peter I, Duke of Bourbon.
  Blanche of Valois (1317 – 1348). She married Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor. Sometimes called "Marguerite".
  Louis of Valois (1318 – 2 November 1328), Count of Chartres and Lord of Châteauneuf-en-Thymerais.
  Charles de Valois was also known to have one natural child by an unknown mother.[9] This child was placed in a nunnery, and yet was also treated as a legitimate heir to estates, being granted title to lands in Avignon upon her majority:
  
  Theresa of Avignon, Countess of Avignon (1335–1387)[9]

  === Valois, dynasty that occupied the throne ===
  Valois, dynasty that occupied the throne of France from 1328 to 1589. The name is derived from that of an area northeast of Paris, in what are now the departments of Aisne and Oise. Charles, count of Valois, was a brother of Philip IV of France, who belonged to the Capetian dynasty. When the last of Philip IV's sons died in 1328, the Capetian male line became extinct, and Charles's eldest son became king of France as Philip VI. His right to the throne was challenged by Edward III of England, whose mother was a daughter of Philip IV, and the dispute between them led to the Hundred Years' War, in which large areas of France were occupied by the English. In the 1420s, when the Valois appeared to have lost out to their English rivals, Joan of Arc roused the country to support them, and by the middle of the 15th century they were once again firmly in control. The monarchy was strengthened further during the reign of Louis XI; his successors tried to extend French power into Italy, but had no lasting success. Francis I, one of the greatest of the Valois kings, was a noted patron of Renaissance art and scholarship. During the last decades of the dynasty, France was divided by religious wars. The Valois were succeeded by the house of Bourbon. The reigns of the 13 Valois kings were as follows: Philip VI, 1328-50; John II, 1350-64; Charles V, 1364-80; Charles VI, 1380-1422; Charles VII, 1422-61; Louis XI, 1461-83; Charles VIII, 1483-98; Louis XII, 1498-1515; Francis I, 1515-47; Henry II, 1547-59; Francis II, 1559-60; Charles IX, 1560-74; and Henry III, 1574-89.
