Jean I, 4e duke de Bourbon (born 1380/81—died 1434, London) was the count of Clermont (from 1404) and duke of Bourbon (from 1410), who was a champion of the House of Orléans in the Hundred Years’ War. He helped lead the Armagnacs in their resistance to the English king Henry V’s invasion of France but was captured at Agincourt (1415) and brought to England. Despite payment of his ransom, Henry never freed him.
