1279 - the birth of Louis I, Duke of Bourbon

Louis was son of Robert, Count of Clermont and thus grandson of King Louis IX of France, who never saw him, the son of his youngest son. Louis' mother was Beatrix of Burgundy, heiress of Bourbon and a granddaughter of Hugh IV, Duke of Burgundy.

He fought on the losing side in both the Battle of the Golden Spurs (1302) and the Battle of Mons-en-Pévèle (1304), but escaped unharmed. In 1310, he was made Grand Chambrier of France. In 1327, Charles IV of France persuaded him to exchange the County of Clermont for that of La Marche, and elevated Bourbon to a duchy-peerage. However, Clermont was restored to him by Philip VI of France in 1331.

Duke Louis is reported to have been mentally somewhat instable, a trait of nervous breakdowns presumably hereditary that showed clearly for example in his granddaughter Joanna of Bourbon, the queen, and in her son, king Charles VI of France, as well as down in the line in Charles' grandson king Henry VI of England.
