Archambaud VIII of Bourbon

Archambaud VIII, called the Great (c. 1189–1242), was seigneur of Bourbon from 1216, succeeding his father Guy II of Dampierre; his mother was Mathilde I, heiress of the lordship. After Philip II Augustus confiscated Auvergne in 1213, he was made its guardian and in 1223 constable of Auvergne. About 1215 he married Beatrice of Montluçon, mother of his heir Archambaud IX.

In 1232 he granted a charter of liberties to Moulins, supplementing earlier privileges, in return for an annual payment of 200 livres. He died at the Battle of Taillebourg in 1242.
