The Mad War (guerre folle in French), also known as the War of the Public Weal, was a late Medieval conflict between a coalition of feudal lords and the French monarchy. It occurred during the regency of Anne of Beaujeu in the period after the death of Louis XI and before the majority of the young king Charles VIII. The war began in 1485 and ended in 1488. The principal lords involved were Louis II of Orleans, the cousin of the king (and future Louis XII of France); Francis II of Brittany; René II, Duke of Lorraine; Alain d'Albret; Jean de Châlon, Prince of Orange; Count Charles of Angouleme. Other leading lords supported the revolt, among them Jean de Lescun, "the Bastard of Armagnac", Philippe de Commines and governor of Guyenne and Commines. As a revolt against French royal authority it was supported by the foreign enemies of the King of France: England, Spain and Austria. Its principal outcome was the absorption of Brittany into the French kingdom.
