Armagnac

Bernard VII, Count  Armagnac (died 1418) was a French noble. He led the family of  Armagnac  into the faction that was opposed to the Burgundians in the French civil war of 1410 - 35. In 1410 Bernard VII married his daughter to the young duke Charles of Orléans, and henceforth was the head of the Orléans, or Armagnac (aristocratic), party. The struggle of the rival parties was ended 1435 by the Treaty of Arras, when the Burgundian court was reunited with that of France.
