biography
Jacques I. de Chabannes is the son of Robert de Chabannes and Alix de Bort; his brother is Antoine de Chabannes , who became Count of Dammartin through his marriage .
He initially served in the company of his brother Étienne, who was killed in 1423 at the Battle of Cravant . In 1425 he was appointed chamberlain to King Charles VII , then Seneschal des Bourbonnais.

He achieved the surrender of Blaye and Bourg , whose governor he was appointed, and the surrender of Fronsac Castle . When Jean de Dunois entered Bordeaux on June 25, 1451, he commanded 1,500 lances , and was with him and Gaston IV of Foix at the siege of Bayonne .
