Claim
Eventually, in 1446, after Charles's last son, also named Charles, was born, the king banished the Dauphin to the Dauphiné.
Correction

This sequence is backwards. Charles VII’s last son, Charles of France, was born on December 28, 1446, but Louis was banished to the Dauphiné on September 27, 1446—months earlier.

Full reasoning

The sentence makes the banishment of the Dauphin Louis happen after the birth of Charles VII’s last son, Charles. But the dates do not line up:

  • Charles of France (the future duke of Berry), the last son of Charles VII, is dated by Encyclopaedia Britannica to December 28, 1446.
  • A detailed historical study by G. du Fresne de Beaucourt places Louis’s banishment to the Dauphiné on September 27, 1446, quoting the king: "Louis, je vous bannis pour quatre mois de mon royaume, et vous en allez en Dauphiné."

So the article’s chronology is impossible as written: Louis was sent away before Charles was born, not after.

Claim
12 December 1446
Correction

This birth date for Charles of France, duke of Berry, is incorrect. Reliable references place his birth in late December 1446, specifically on December 28.

Full reasoning

The table gives Charles of France, duke of Berry a birth date of 12 December 1446. That does not match standard reference works:

  • Encyclopaedia Britannica gives his birth date as December 28, 1446.
  • G. du Fresne de Beaucourt’s historical study of Charles VII states that Queen Marie of Anjou gave birth to this son on 28 December 1446.

So the article’s date of 12 December 1446 is not supported by these sources and appears to be incorrect.
