Gilbert was the first person, after a number of divisions of Auvergne in Middle Ages, to carry the bloodlines of the respective dynasties of each of the three main divisions of Auvergne, the countship, the dukedom and the dauphinate.

His mother Gabrielle de La Tour, though not an heiress of that family since there were primary primogenitural heirs, descended from the counts of Auvergne and counts of Boulogne.

His paternal grandmother Marie of Berry, Duchess of Bourbon, was heiress to the duchy of Auvergne. The creation for the Berry and Bourbon branches was made of lands that were confiscated from the count of Auvergne by Philip II of France.

His paternal great-grandmother Anne of Auvergne was daughter of the dauphin of Auvergne and after the extinction of her brother's line, in her issue the heiress thereof.

Though Gilbert was by no means the primogenitural heir to any of them, as head of the cadet branch of his family, he received Montpensier and the dauphinate as appanages inside the extended family.

On February 24, 1482 Gilbert married Chiara Gonzaga (1 July 14642 June 1503), daughter of Federico I of Gonzaga of Mantova; they had the following issue:

He was made the Viceroy of Naples in 1495 by king Charles VIII of France after the conquest, losing it that same year to an allied Neapolitan/Spanish army commanded by Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba.
