Berry suffered during the See also:Hundred Years' See also:War, and more severely during the See also:wars of See also:religion in the 16th century. It had been made a duchy in 1360, and its first duke, John [See also:Jean] (1340-1416), son of the See also:French king John II., encouraged the arts and beautified the province with See also:money wrung from his See also:government of See also:Languedoc.

See also:Charles of France (1447-1472), brother of Louis XI., was duke of Berry, but was deprived of this province, as subsequently of the duchies of See also:Normandy and See also:Guienne, for intrigues against his brother.
