Jacques d'Armagnac, Duke of Nemours
- Jacques d'Armagnac, Duke of Nemours
Jacques d'Armagnac, duke of Nemours (c. 1433 – August 4 1477), was the son of Bernard d'Armagnac, count of Pardiac, and Eleanor of Bourbon-La Marche.
While styled Count of Castres, he served under Charles VII of France in Normandy in 1449 and 1450, and afterwards in Guienne. On the accession of Louis XI the king loaded him with honours. In 1462, he succeeded his father, and the king married him to his god-daughter, Louise of Anjou (daughter of Charles of Le Maine), and recognized his title to the duchy of Nemours, which he had disputed with the King of Navarre. Sent by Louis to pacify Roussillon, Nemours felt that he had been insufficiently rewarded for the rapid success of this expedition, and joined the League of the Public Weal in 1465. He subsequently became reconciled with Louis, but soon resumed his intrigues. After twice pardoning him, the king's patience became exhausted, and he besieged the duke's chateau at Carlat and took him prisoner. Nemours was treated with the utmost rigour, being shut up in a cage. He was finally condemned to death by the parliament and beheaded.
He and Louise had six children:
* Jacques (d. young)
* Jean d'Armagnac, Duke of Nemours (1467–1500)
* Louis d'Armagnac, Duke of Nemours (1472–1503)
* Marguerite d'Armagnac, Duchess of Nemours (d. 1503)
* Catherine d'Armagnac (d. 1487), married John II, Duke of Bourbon in 1484
* Charlotte d'Armagnac, Duchess of Nemours (d. 1504)
