Description

PIERRE 1er DUC de BOURBON Medieval Manuscript on Parchment  - Inheritance Dispute between
Monseigneur
Johan and Parmy dated February 1347
Peter I of Bourbon
(
Pierre Ier, Duc de Bourbon
in French; 1311 – 19 September 1356, Poitiers) was the second Duke od Bourbon, from 1342 to his death.
Peter was son of Louis I of Bourbon, whom he also succeeded as Grand Chamberlain of France, and Mary of Avesnes.
Duke Peter is reported to have been somewhat mentally unstable, a trait of nervous breakdowns (presumably hereditary) that showed clearly for example in his daughter Joan of Bourbon, the queen, and in her son, king Charles VI of France, as well as in Peter's only surviving son, Duke Louis II.
In July
1347
he took part in fruitless negotiations with the English outside Calais in the days just before that city's capitulation.
Peter was killed in the Battle of Poitiers 19 September 1356 and buried in the now-demolished church of the Couvent des Jacobins in Paris.
