Two centuries later, in 1392, King Charles VI turned the County of Valois into a Duchy and gave it to his brother Louis, Duke of Orleans. From 1393 to his death in 1407, the latter had the castle rebuilt by the court architect, Jean le Noir. In March 1617, during the early troubled days of Louis XIII's reign, the castle, then the property of Francois-Annibal d'Estrees,who joined the \"parti des mecontents\" (party of discontent) led by Henri II, Prince of Conde, was besieged and taken by troops sent by Richelieu, the secretary of state for war. Its demolition was started, but not carried through to the end because of the enormity of the task. The exterior works were razed, the roofs destroyed and holes made in the towers and curtain walls.\n
