HOME   -   PEOPLE IN HISTORY A-Z   -   JOHN II THE GOOD

 
   


John II, the Good, 1319 - 1364

 

John II the Good 1319-1364

 


 

John was also called John the Good, or rather Jean le Bon, as he was king of the French 1350 - 1364.

September 19, 1356, was the day that changed John's life forever when he was taken prisoner by the English at the Battle of Poitiers, a battle of the  Hundred Years' War.

On May 8, 1360, the Treaty of Bretigny was concluded between John II and Edward III of England. Conditions were determined under which John could be liberated.

On October 9, 1360, John was released but he turned himself back in a bit later, in 1364. Now, why would he do that? Some say it was because his son Louis, who was in English custody, had escaped. Others say it was because he was unable to raise the amount of money the English demanded in the Bretigny Treaty.

John died in London and his son Charles V became king of France.
