John VI of Vendôme

John VI of Vendôme (died 1364), son of Bouchard VI and Alix of Brittany, succeeded as count of Vendôme and Castres in 1354. He lived chiefly at Castres, raised to a county by King John II in 1356 for his loyalty to the Valois. He fought and was captured at Poitiers the same year.

In 1362 English and Gascon routiers seized Vendôme and captured his wife Joan of Ponthieu; he paid a ransom to recover the town. He died in February 1364 famed for his sanctity. By Joan he left Bouchard VII and Catherine, who brought Vendôme to the Bourbons.
