John II of France

John II, called the Good (26 April 1319 – 8 April 1364), was the eldest son of Philip VI of France and Joan of Burgundy, made duke of Normandy and count of Anjou in 1332. He married Bonne of Luxembourg the same year and succeeded his father as king in 1350.

Captured at Poitiers in 1356, he was released under the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360 to raise a huge ransom. When his hostage son Louis escaped, John returned to English captivity in 1364 and died in London.
