Bourbon
The Duchy of Bourbon was a French appanage in the Bourbonnais around the upper Allier. In 1337 its first duke, Louis I of the Bourbon family, held it from the French crown.
Louis died in 1341, and his son Peter I fell at Poitiers in 1356. The senior line ended in 1527 with the death of Constable Charles III, whose duchy passed to the crown. The La Marche-Vendome branch later inherited the French throne when Henry IV became king in 1589.
