RENE II: (1451-1508) Duke of Lorraine. Rene II claimed the crown of the Kingdom of Naples and the County of Provence as the Duke of Calabria 1480-93 and as King of Naples and Jerusalem 1493-1508. A famous warrior, Rene II defeated and killed Charles the Bold of Burgundy at the Battle of Nancy in January 1477, thereby ending the Burgundian Wars. L.S., Rene, one page, 4to, n.p., 24th January 1473, to 'My Loyal and Good Friends'. Written in a 15th century hand, the letter nominates the Lord of Chaptal to accompany the affairs of the state. Rare. Some very light, extremely minor staining, largely to the right, only very slightly affecting the text (which remains perfectly legible) but not the signature. The upper left corner is very slightly, neatly clipped. About VG
