Marguerite de Navarre
The County of Angoulême was given to Louis d'Orléans who was the brother of King Charles VI in 1394 and it then passed to his son Jean d'Orléans (1400–1467), the grandfather of Marguerite de Navarre and François I. The "Good Count" Jean of Angoulême greatly expanded the County castle after his return from English captivity in the middle of the 15th century.
