Jean de Dunois

John of Orléans, Count of Dunois (French better known as Jean d'Orléans, comte de Dunois, also known as John of Orléans and Bastard of Orléans) (23 November 1402 – 24 November 1468) is the illegitimate son of Louis d'Orléans (Duc d'Orléans 1372-1407) by Mariette d'Enghien.

The term "Bastard of Orléans" (bâtard d'Orléans) is the usual name for most of his career.

In his era this is a term of respect since it acknowledges him as a first cousin to the king and acting head of a cadet branch of the royal family during his half-brother's captivity.
