John I, Count of Foix (* 1382 † 4.En 1896, Archambault est fondé par Edmond Archambault, qui désirait ouvrir une boutique spécialisée dans la vente de partitions au coin des rues Saint-Denis et Sainte-Catherine, à Montréal.He died a short time thereafter.Īrchambaud de Grailly was married to Isabella, Countess of Foix († 1428) from 1381. Archambaud was rewarded for his new loyalty to France when in 1412 he was made Lieutenant-General of Languedoc. Archambaud was spared from conflicts of loyalty between England and France, as the Hundred Years' War had been halted at this time by internal conflicts in both kingdoms. Similarly, descendants of Archambaud were to bear the names and arms of the family of his wife, dropping those of the House of Grailly. The position of the new comital dynasty of Foix inside the French Kingdom was thereby guaranteed. In the Treaty of Tarbes,, Isabelle and Archambaud recognized the French King as their feudal lord for the County of Foix, Archambaud cancelled his allegiance to England, and the couple sent their two eldest sons as hostages to the royal court at Paris. Isabelle and Archambaud could not counter this threat alone and showed themselves ready to subject themselves to French authority. Thereofore the French Connétable de Sancerre marched into the County of Foix with an army and occupied large parts of it. ![]() The King of France, however, objected to this inheritance, as one of the largest territories of the Kingdom would fall into the hands of a subject of England. Therefore, Isabelle, as the last member of the House of Foix, inherited the extensive holdings.Īrchambaud became, co-regent of the County of Foix suo uxoris, viscount of Béarn, Marsan, Lautrec, and Castelbon, as well as co-prince of Andorra. At about the same time, however, the only son and heir of Gaston Fébus died, and in 1398 Isabelle's younger brother, Matthew, died too, without leaving an heir. Isabelle de Foix belonged to the House of Foix, the head of which, Gaston Fébus, was one of the most powerful and richest princes in the south of France. In 1381 Archambaud married the only daughter of the Aragonese Viscount Castelbon. Furthermore, Archambaud was made Seneschal of Biscay by the King of England on 2 March 1377. By this time his nephew had died (1369) without progeny and Archambaud been declared his heir. Archambaud is supposed to have been released in 1372 after the payment of 500 gold francs. At the Battle of Cocherel on, the Anglo-Navarrese army, led by the Graillys, was routed by the French under Bertrand du Guesclin. In this they supported the King of Navarre, Charles II, who, aspiring for the French throne, was revolting against France. In the following years the Graillys were involved in the defence of the conquered territories, which the French Bertrand du Guesclin was attempting to regain. ![]() This victory led to the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360, by which England could continue its possession of a substantial part of southern France. A little later, Archambaud fought, together with his nephew, Jean III de Grailly, on 19 September 1356, at the victorious Battle of Poitiers, where the King of France, John II was captured by the English. Archambaud's father, however, joined the service of King Edward III of England and was employed with the governorship in the south of the Guyenne ( Capitalate de Buch), where the Grailly family proved themselves loyal in the Hundred Years' War against France.Īfter the death of his father, Archambaud inherited control over Castillon and Gruson. Background and Hundred Years' War Īrchambaud was a descendant of the noble House of Grailly, originally based at Lake Geneva.
