The House of Valois-Orléans was a branch of the royal family of France, originating from the Valois dynasty. It emerged in the late 14th century and was established by Louis I, Duke of Orléans, the younger brother of King Charles VI. This house played a significant role in French politics and was involved in various conflicts, including the Hundred Years' War. The Valois-Orléans line produced notable figures, such as Charles, Duke of Orléans, a poet and soldier. The house eventually became extinct in the 17th century, but its legacy continued through the House of Bourbon, which succeeded the Valois dynasty in ruling France.
