This man renamed Arras Franchise to promote the wool industry, but failed, though he had earlier succeeded in starting the Lyons silk industry. Ruling from the Loire valley, especially Tours, he was once held captive at Peronne by his worst enemy and forced to repent for supposedly sponsoring an insurrection at Liege. This man signed the Treaty of Conflans to end the Siege of Paris. This man lost at the Battle of Montlhery despite his enemy routing because Charles, Count of Maine was a coward. This great friend of Francisco Sforza and the Chronicler Philip Commynes and enemy of Francis II of Brittany destroyed the feudal aristocracy. He preferred peace over war as seen by the Treaty of Picquiney, paying off the English under Edward IV. He fought against the League of the Public Weal, and had earlier fled to Philip the Good's court from his father Charles VII. But Philip's son, who died at Nancy, proved to be his most persistent foe. For 10 points, name this enemy of Charles the Bold, a French king known for his plotting.
