Charles I, Count of Armagnac

Charles d'Armagnac (born 1425; died 3 June 1497 in Castelnau-de-Montmiral at the age of 72 years) was Count of Armagnac and Rodez from 1473 to 1497. He was the son of John IV, Count of Armagnac and Rodez, and Isabella d'Évreux. His older brother, Count John V, was a leader of the League of the Public Weal against King Louis XI of France, causing Charles to be imprisoned for fifteen years. John was killed in a skirmish, allowing Charles to inherit the title of Count of Armagnac.
