Jean de Dunois

Jean d'Orléans (1402–1468), called the Bastard of Orléans and later Jean de Dunois, was the illegitimate son of Louis I, Duke of Orléans. While his half-brother was held captive in England after Agincourt, he led the House of Orléans in the Dauphin's service.

He defended Orléans and relieved the city with Joan of Arc in 1429. He helped retake Paris in 1436 and led the reconquest of Normandy and Guienne in its final phase. He died in 1468, after joining the League of the Public Weal against Louis XI in 1465.
