Charles T. DavisRENÉ D’ANJOU (1409–1480)
Son of Louis II, duke of Anjou, and Yolande of Aragon,
the “Good King René” is known for his accomplish-
ments in several areas. This second son of the politically
ambitious Yolande was, for strategic reasons, adopted
by the duke of Bar. He was married in 1420 to Isabelle
of Lorraine. He became duke of Bar in 1430 and duke
of Lorraine in 1431, but his claim to the latter title cost
him fi ve years in prison. At the death of his elder brother
Louis in 1434, René inherited the duchy of Anjou and
the family claim to the kingdom of Naples. Although
he lost the latter throne to Alfonso of Aragon in 1442,
René’s prestige and infl uence nonetheless continued to
grow at the court of his brother-in-law, Charles VII, and
in France generally. After the death of Isabelle in 1453,
he married Jeanne de Laval. René, whose titles derived
from the circumstances of aristocratic inheritance, was
one of the last obstacles to the unifi cation of France by
Louis XI. Deprived of Bar and Anjou by Louis, René
retreated in his later years to Provence.
Despite his political reversals, René d’Anjou was
known as a good strategist in battle and an expert in
warfare. He wrote a treatise on tournaments, the Traic-
tié de la forme et devis d’un tornoy (1445–50), and
organized several celebrated tournaments on Charles
VII’s behalf. He was a generous patron of the arts and
himself a painter and writer. He composed two richly
illuminated allegorical works in verse and prose: the
Mortifi ement de vaine plaisance (1455) and the Livre
du cuer d’amours espris (1457).
