Charles of Orléans (1459 – 1496). Count of Angoulême from 1467 until his death. He succeeded his father, John, and was initially under the regency of his mother, Marguerite de Rohan, assisted by Jean I de La Rochefoucauld, one of his vassals.
Charles commissioned the luxuriously illustrated Heures de Charles d'Angoulême.
Charles married Louise of Savoy, daughter of Philip the Landless and Margaret of Bourbon. They had two children: Marguerite of Angoulême and François of Angoulême, who became King of France as Francis I.
