Origins
The line of Bourbon-Busset descends in the male line from the son of Louis of Bourbon, Prince-Bishop of Liège (1438-1482), himself a son of Charles I, Duke of Bourbon. Patrilineality (aka agnatic kinship) is a system in which one belongs to one's father's lineage it generally involves the Inheritance of property names or titles Louis de Bourbon (1438-1482 was Prince-Bishop of Liège from 1456 Charles I of Bourbon (1401&ndash 4 December, 1456, Château de Moulins) was Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis from 1424 and Duke Louis, in male line a sixth cousin of king Charles VII of France, married, without royal licence, Catharine of Egmont, daughter of Arnold, Duke of Gelderland.

Either from this marriage, or from a mistress of Louis of Bourbon, a son was born, who then married the heiress of the barony of Busset and was elevated to the title of count of Busset. Busset is a commune in the Allier department in central France.
Although the marriage between Louis and Catherine took place before Louis was consecrated as a priest, which would have made it canonically impossible for him to marry, it was kept secret, being against the interests of Louis XI of France. Louis XI ( July 3, 1423 – August 30, 1483) called the Prudent (le Prudent and the Universal Spider ( Middle French alliances in the Low Countries were not compatible with those of the House of Egmont. The Low Countries, the historical region of de Nederlanden, are the countries on low-lying land around the delta of the Rhine, Scheldt The French king therefore (debatably) annulled the marriage, declaring any children of the marriage illegitimate.
Records and chronicles are unclear as to whether Louis and Catherine produced any surviving descent in the male line. Evidence just as easily suggests that the Bourbon-Bussets derived from an entirely uncanonical affair between Louis of Bourbon and a mistress.

Were the Bourbon-Busset legitimate, the position of the premier prince would have belonged to the then count of Busset instead of Duke Antony.
