Louis I le Boiteux, duc de Bourbon

Louis was born in Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, the son of Robert, Count of Clermont, and a grandson of King Louis IX of France. Louis' mother was Beatrix of Burgundy, heiress of Bourbon and a granddaughter of Hugh IV, Duke of Burgundy.[1]

He fought on the losing side in the Battle of the Golden Spurs (1302) and in the Battle of Mons-en-Pévèle (1304), but managed to escape unharmed. In 1310, he was made Grand Chambrier of France. In 1327, Charles IV of France persuaded him to exchange the County of Clermont for that of La Marche, and elevated Bourbon to a duchy-peerage. However, Clermont was restored to him by Philip VI of France in 1331. He belonged to Philip VI's small circle of trusted advisors.

Duke Louis is reported to have been somewhat mentally unstable, in particular suffering from nervous breakdowns. The trait is believed to have been hereditary, with his granddaughter Joanna of Bourbon, her son, King Charles VI of France, and Charles' grandson, King Henry VI of England, all displaying similar symptoms.

Family and children In 1310, Louis married Mary of Avesnes,[5] daughter of John II of Avesnes, Count of Hainaut and Holland by Philippa of Luxembourg. They had eight children:

Peter I, Duke of Bourbon (1311–1356), married Isabella of Valois, had issue.

Beatrice of Bourbon (1320 – 23 December 1383, Danvillers), married first at Vincennes in 1334 John of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia as his second wife,[8] married secondly c. 1347 Eudes II of Grancey (d. 1389) From a relation to Jeanne de Bourbon-Lancy, dame de Clessy, he had several illegitimate children:

Jean (ca. 1297-1375), "bastard de Bourbon", knight, seigneur of Rochefort,[9] Ébreuil, Beçay le Guérant, Bellenave, Jenzat, Serrant and la Bure, advisor to the dukes of Berry and of Bourbon, lieutenant du Forez, married Agnès Chaleu for his third wife; "N" (eldest daughter), married to Girard of Châtillon-en-Bazois in 1317; Guy (vers 1299-1349), seigneur of Clessy, la Ferté-Chauderon and Montpensier (Louis recognized him as his child in 1346, but the child was taken from him that same year).

Louis de Bourbon fut Sire de Bourbon, comte de Clermont-en-Beauvaisis (1310), grand chambrier de France (1312), comte de la Marche et de Castres (1322), premier duc de Bourbon et pair de France (1327).

En septembre 1310, il épousa Marie d’Avesnes (1280 — † 1354), fille de Jean II d’Avesnes, comte de Hainaut et de Hollande, et de Philippa de Luxembourg.

Il se signala aux batailles de Furnes, 1297, de Courtrai, 1302, de Mons-en-Pévèle, 1304, et de Cassel, 1328. Charles IV le Bel l'investit de la charge de grand chambrier. Par un traité conclu à la fin de 1327, le roi de France Charles IV le Bel avait échangé le comté de la Marche, constituant précédemment son apanage, contre le comté de Clermont-en-Beauvaisis que Louis de Bourbon avait hérité de son père. C'est à cette occasion que la seigneurie de Bourbon fut élevée en duché. Ce prince passait pour l'homme le plus honnête de son temps.
