Nicholas I, Duke of Lorraine
Template:Short description Template:Expand French
Nicholas of Anjou (July 1448 – 27 July 1473) was the son of John II, Duke of Lorraine and Marie de Bourbon.
Nicholas was born and died in Nancy. He succeeded his father in 1470 as Duke of Lorraine, and assumed the titles of Marquis of Pont-à-Mousson, Duke of Calabria, and Prince of Girona, as heir apparent of Bar, Naples, and Aragon respectively.
He was engaged to Anne of France, Viscountess of Thouars, and used her title, but he did not marry her and had only one illegitimate daughter, Marguerite, wife of John IV of Chabannes, Count of Dammartin (d. 1503).
Some said he had been poisoned by agents of King Louis XI of France to prevent his marriage to Mary of Burgundy.<ref>Joseph Vaesen and Étienne Charavay, Letters of Louis XI , volume III , p. 173, note no . 1, Librairie Renouard, Paris 1887</ref>
On his death the Duchy of Lorraine went to his aunt Yolande.
