Jean III de Grailly, captal de Buch was a prisoner of the French since 1372. He had refused his freedom as it would have meant taking up arms against the king of England, which he swore never to do. His personal allegiance to Prince Edward of England, the Black Prince, was so strong that upon hearing of his death, he lost all resolve, refused food and died a few days later. Since he left no heirs from his marriage to Rose d' Albret, his uncle, Archambaud, Count of Foix and of Bigorre took the title Captal de Buch, which passed to his descendants the Counts of Foix.
