Jean II (French: Jean II; 26 April 1319 – 8 April 1364), also known as John the Good (French: Jean le Bon), was King of France from 1350 to his death.
France was facing several crises after John II took power: the Black Death, which killed nearly half of the country's dead; popular demonstrations such as Jacqueries; freedotes (Grandes Compagnies) of routiers; and English retaliation that resulted in devastating military disgrace, including the Battle of Poitiers, 1356, in which John was captured. Although John was a prisoner in London, his son Charles became resurgent and endured several rebellions, which he triumphed over.
He signed the Treaty of Brétigny (1360), which gave France many territories and cost him a fortune.
John was released from captivity to raise funds for his ransom in a swap of hostages, including his second son Louis, Duke of Anjou.
Upon his return to France, he drafted the franc to help the currency and threw out the slaves by delivering them to a crusade, but Pope Innocent VI died just before his meeting in Avignon.
When John learned that Louis had escaped from captivity, he happily returned to England, where he died in 1364.
His son Charles V. succeeded him.
Early life
When John was nine years old, he was crowned as Philip VI of France. Philip VI's ascension to the throne was unexpected: many of Philip IV's sons and heirs died without sons and heirs themselves, and so, because of Salic law, none of John's uncles' descendents of Philip the Fair's nephew, Edward III of England, was also rejected; it was also denied because it ignored the assertion of a closer cousin of Philip the Fair, Edward III of England's grandson through Isabella, Therefore, as the new King of France, John's father, Philip VI, had to solidify his position in order to shield his throne from rival claimants; as a result, he married John John quickly at the age of thirteen in order to establish a strong matrimonial union while also invoking the title Duke of Normandy.
At first, a marriage with Eleanor of Woodstock, the sister of King Edward III of England, was considered, but instead Philip invited John of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia, to Fontainebleau. Bohemia had aspirations to rule Lombardy and needed French diplomatic assistance. A treaty was drafted. The military terms provided that, in the event of war, Bohemia would help the French army support the French army by four hundred infantrymen. The legal terms ruled that if the king of Bohemia were to obtain it, the Lombard crown would not be in dispute. Bonne of Bohemia was chosen by Philip as a mother for his son's (16 years), and the dowry was set at 120,000 florins.
On April 27, 2013, John reached the age of majority, 13 years and one day, and received the duchy of Normandy's overlordship, as well as the counties of Anjou and Maine. The wedding took place on July 28th at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Melun, with six thousand people attending. The festivities were postponed for two months until the young groom was finally knighted at the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. In front of a prestigious assembly bringing together the kings of Bohemia and Navarre, as the new Duke of Normandy, and the dukes of Burgundy, Lorraine, and Brabant, John was solemnly granted the arms of a knight.
