Philip and Pérotin appear to have known one another and may have collaborated. Since
so many of Philip’s texts were tropes or contrafacts for music that already had been
composed, it would seem that he was not a composer himself. Although his defense of
accumulating benefices earned him the displeasure of the Dominicans, he remained a
friend of the Franciscans throughout his life and was buried in their church.

PHILIP THE GOOD
(1396–1467). Duke of Burgundy, 1419–67. The son and successor of John the Fearless,
duke of Burgundy and count of Flanders, Philip was twentythree years old when the
assassination of his father in 1419 made him the mightiest peer of France and the most
important prince of the Low Countries. His reign of forty-seven years brought prosperity,
prestige, and territorial expansion to his lands. He guided the ill-fated Burgundian state to
the peak of its power, but its greatness, dependant on the weakness of the French
monarchy, dissipated after the end of the Hundred Years’ War.
An astute diplomat and judicious in the use of force, Philip sought to overcome ducal
Burgundy’s status as a French apanage by enmeshing it in an independent polity in the
territories between France and Germany. The Treaty of Troyes (1420) allied him with
Henry V of England, secured his French holdings, and allowed him to concentrate on the
Low Countries. His second (1422) and third (1430) marriages secured political allies and
territorial claims. Conquests of Holland (1425–33) and Luxembourg (1443), and the
peaceful acquisitions of Namur (1420) and Brabant (1430) doubled the size of his lands.
Philip eventually sought the crown of a restored Lotharingia from the emperor Frederick
111 in 1447. His failure to obtain a crown had no immediate political consequences, but
it foreshadowed the doom of the Burgundian polity, which remained an overextended
Franco-imperial principality in an age of emerging sovereign states. Within France,
