The Children of Adam and Eve

He was the founder of the second and last ducal house of Burgundy. For his
actions in the Battle of Poitiers (1356), he won the nickname The Bold. He
shared his father's captivity in England, and on returning to France in
1360 he received the duchy of Touraine. Three years later, after the
Death, without heirs, of the duke of Burgundy, Philip renounced Touraine
and received Burgundy from his Brother, Charles V of France. Between 1369
and 1373 he fought against the English in Normandy and Poitou, and in 1382
he helped to suppress the revolt of the Flemish towns against their count,
Louis of Male, who was his father-in-law. On the Death of his
father-in-law in 1384, Philip inherited Flanders. As one of the regents
for the Young Charles VI, king of France, from 1380 until the time when
Charles came of age eight years later, Philip was the virtual ruler of
France. When Charles became insane in 1392, Philip was again appointed
regent for him.
