Jean I, Count D'Armagnac

Jean I, Count of Armagnac

In September 1346, following the French defeat at the Battle of Crécy and the beginning of the English Siege of Calais, Armagnac was appointed royal lieutenant in the south-west. However due to the overall worsening French situation he was left with few troops and little money. He was therefore unable to stop Lancaster neither from consolidating English gains in the south nor from launching a major raid into Poitou. (Wikipedia)

Jean II the good, King of France

King Jean II "The Good"

King Jean is second sovereign of the House of Valois. His main claim to fame is that he lost the Battle of Poitier and died a prisoner in England. But this has not happened in this game yet, so there is not much to say. Why was King Jean "the good"? Because he sure knew how to live the good life.
