Jean II, duke of Alençon, was tried and sentenced to death in Vendôme in 1458. Louis XVI repealed this sentence in 1461 and renewed the repeal in 1464 and 1467. However, in 1474 Jean was condemned again, this time for delivering the city of Alençon to the Bretons in the War of the Commonwealth. He died in 1476 in the home of a Parisian bourgeois who had served him in prison.
