Charles d'Orléans (1394-1465) was a French nobleman and poet, renowned for his lyrical poetry and significant contributions to French literature during the late Middle Ages. Born into the House of Valois, he was the son of Louis I, Duke of Orléans, and Valentina Visconti. His early life was marked by the tumultuous political landscape of France, including the Armagnac-Burgundian Civil War, which deeply influenced his literary work.

Charles's life took a dramatic turn in 1415 when he was captured by the English at the Battle of Agincourt. He spent the next 25 years in captivity in England, during which time he composed much of his poetry. His works, written in both French and English, reflect themes of love, loss, and the passage of time, often imbued with a sense of melancholy and introspection. His captivity allowed him to immerse himself in the literary culture of England, and his poetry exhibits a blend of French and English influences.

Upon his release in 1440, Charles returned to France and continued to write, becoming a central figure in the French literary scene. His court at Blois became a hub for poets and artists, fostering a vibrant cultural environment. Charles d'Orléans's poetry is characterized by its elegant style, use of fixed forms such as the rondeau and ballade, and its exploration of human emotions and experiences.
