Charles I, Count of Armagnac

Charles d'Armagnac (born 1425; died 3 June 1497 in Castelnau-de-Montmiral at the age of 72 years) was Count of Armagnac and Rodez from 1473 to 1497. He was the son of John IV, Count of Armagnac[1] and Rodez, and Isabella d'Évreux. His older brother, Count John V, was a leader of the League of the Public Weal against King Louis XI of France, causing Charles to be imprisoned for fifteen years. John was killed in a skirmish, allowing Charles to inherit the title of Count of Armagnac.[2]
