Philip III Duke of Burgundy 'Grand Duke of the West'

Achtergronden van zijn vader Karel de Goede (bron: Meertens pag 7 van https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meer035lett01_01/meer035lett01_01.pdf

Na de moord op zijn vader Jan zonder Vrees door de Armagnacs in de Franse Burgeroorlog tussen Armagnacs en Bourguignons, volgde Filips hem op in het hertogdom Bourgondië, het graafschap Vlaanderen en Artesië en wendde zich meer af van de burgeroorlog. Nadien begon Filips aan een indrukwekkende expansie van zijn rijk naar het noordoosten

Met de regering van Filip III "de Goede" van Bourgondië, Hertog, Graaf van Charolais , de eerste vorst uit het Bourgondische huis, begint voor Holland en Zeeland een periode van rijke bloei en welvaart.

Philips vond in Zeeland een groep van machtige en onafhankelijke edelen tegenover zich, die nimmer een krachtig gezag boven zich hadden geduld. In korte tijd heeft deze groep zich aangepast aan de veranderde omstandigheden en de wijste partij gekozen; weldra werd de Zeeuwse adel een trouw aanhanger van het nieuwe gezag.

De erkentelijkheid der Bourgondische vorsten voor deze loyaliteit kwam herhaaldelijk aan het licht: Zeeuwse edelen werden zowel aan het Bourgondische hof als in Holland in hoge ambten en waardigheden geplaatst. Frank van Borselen, de weduwnaar van Jacoba van Beieren, werd rentmeester van Zeeland Bewesten- en Beoosten-Schelde, en in 1445 met de orde van het Gulden Vlies begiftigd, tegelijk met Adriaen van Borselen, heer van Brigdamme en Soeburg. Aan Jan van Cruyninghen viel dezelfde eer in 1491 ten deel. Een der bastaards van Philips, Philips van Bourgondië(dit profiel) (1464 - 1524), vertoefde meermalen op zijn slot te Soeburg; zijn neef Maximiliaen van Bourgondië (1486 - 1535), een van Philips' kleinzoons, was van 1518 tot zijn dood abt van Middelburg.

Zelfs verbonden de Bourgondische vorsten zich door huwelijken met de Zeeuwse adel; Philips' bastaard-dochter Anna trouwde in 1457 of daaromtrent de zojuist genoemde Adriaen van Borselen, waardoor zij in het bezit van aanzienlijke Zeeuwse goederen kwam, en een halve eeuw later trad Philips' bastaardkleinzoon en naamgenoot in het huwelijk met Anna van Borselen, vrouwe van Vere. Geen van deze beide verbintenissen heeft echter blijvend tot een Zeeuws-Bourgondische dynastie geleid: het huwelijk van Anna van Bourgondië bleef kinderloos, en kinderloos ook stierf, in 1558, de laatste der Veerse heren van Bourgondië. Het beeld, dat de Bourgondische geschiedschrijvers der vijftiende eeuw ons van Holland en Zeeland afschilderen, is voor beide gewesten alleszins eervol. De tijd dat zij door het rijke en machtige Vlaanderen en Brabant als weinig meer werden beschouwd dan armzalige landen, woonplaats slechts van schippers en boeren, was voorbij, en al was noch in Holland, noch in Zeeland ook maar één stad te vinden, die zich kon vergelijken met de vorstelijke koopsteden van de Zuidelijke Nederlanden, toch werd hun scheepsmacht al vrij spoedig een factor in de Westeuropese politiek. Jouffroy spreekt van de Hollanders, de Zeeuwen en de Friezen als van ‘volken, die floreren door hun rijkdommen, hun groot getal, door de schoonheid en menigte hunner steden, vooral door de verwonderlijke uitrusting van hun vloot, en die in land- en zeekrijg niet te verachten zijn’ 8 . En Chastellain zingt van hen: Peuple hollandois, fière gent maritime, Zélandois forts, robustes et terribles,

ENGLISH

Philip the Good

Philip the Good (French: Philippe le Bon, Dutch: Filips de Goede; 31 July 1396 – 15 June 1467) was Duke of Burgundy as Philip III from 1419 until his death. He was a member of a cadet line of the Valois dynasty (the then Royal family of France). During his reign Burgundy reached the height of its prosperity and prestige and became a leading center of the arts. Philip is known in history for his administrative reforms, patronage of Flemish artists such as Jan van Eyck, of Franco-Flemish composers such as Gilles Binchois, and the capture of Joan of Arc. During his reign he alternated between English and French alliances in an attempt to improve his dynasty's position. Moreover, as ruler of Flanders, Brabant, Limburg, Artois, Hainaut, Holland, Zeeland, Friesland and Namur, he played an important role in the history of the Low Countries.

Born in 1396 in Dijon, Philip was the son of John the Fearless and Margaret of Bavaria-Straubing.[1] His father, the son of the Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Bold, succeeded his father as duke in 1404.[2] On 28 January 1405, Philip was named Count of Charolais in appanage of the duke and probably on the same day, at the age of 8, became engaged to Michele of Valois (1395–1422), daughter of King Charles VI of France and Isabeau of Bavaria. They were married in June 1409.[3]

After Michelle's death, Philip on 30 November 1424 married Bonne of Artois (1393–1425),[3] daughter of Philip of Artois, Count of Eu, and also the widow of his uncle, Philip II, Count of Nevers, in Moulins-les-Engelbert. The latter is sometimes confused with Philip's biological aunt, also named Bonne (sister of John the Fearless, lived 1379–1399), in part due to the Papal dispensation required for the marriage which made no distinction between a marital aunt and a biological aunt.

His third marriage, in Bruges on 7 January 1430 to Isabella of Portugal (1397 – December 17, 1471), daughter of John I of Portugal and Philippa of Lancaster,[4] produced three sons:[5]

• Anthony (September 30, 1430, Brussels – February 5, 1432, Brussels), Count of Charolais;
• Josse (April 24, 1432 – aft. May 6, 1432), Count of Charolais;
• Charles (1433–1477), Count of Charolais and Philip's successor as Duke, called "Charles the Bold" or "Charles the Rash"[6]

Philip also had at least eighteen illegitimate children by various of his 24 documented mistresses, including:

• Corneille of Burgundy (c. 1420 – 1452), captain-general/governor of Luxembourg.,[7] killed in the Battle of Bazel (1452);
• Anthony, bastard of Burgundy, (1421–1504), lord of La Roche, Sainte-Menehould, Guînes, Lord of Crèvecoeur and Beveren;
• David of Burgundy, (c. 1427 – 1496),[8] bishop of Therouanne and bishop of Utrecht,[9] was a fine amateur artist, and the subject of a biography in 1529;
• Anne of Burgundy (c. 1435 – 1508), governess of Mary of Burgundy, married Adrian of Borssele and later Adolph of Cleves, Lord of Ravenstein;
• Raphaël of Burgundy, also called Raphaël de Marcatellis, (c. 1437 – 1508), abbot of the Saint-Bavo Abbey in Gent and the Saint-Peter Abbey in Oudenburg;
• Baldwin of Burgundy (c. 1446 – 1508), Lord of Fallais, Peer, Boudour, Sint-Annaland, Lovendegem, Zomergem en Fromont;
• Philip of Burgundy (1464–1524), Bishop of Utrecht.

Corneille and Anthony were his favorite bastard sons and successively bore the title of Grand bâtard de Bourgogne (first Corneille and after his death, Anthony).

Philip became duke of Burgundy and count of Flanders, Artois and Franche-Comté with the assassination of his father in 1419.[10] Philip accused Charles, the Dauphin of France and Philip's brother-in-law of planning the murder of his father, which took place during a meeting between the two[which?] at Montereau, and so he continued to prosecute the civil war between the Burgundians and Armagnacs. In 1420 Philip allied himself with Henry V of England under the Treaty of Troyes. In 1423 the marriage of Philip's sister Anne to John, Duke of Bedford, regent for Henry VI of England, strengthened the English alliance.[citation needed]

In 1430 Philip's troops captured Joan of Arc at Compiègne and later handed her over to the English who orchestrated a heresy trial against her, conducted by pro-Burgundian clerics. Despite this action against Joan of Arc, Philip's alliance with England was broken in 1435 when Philip signed the Treaty of Arras (which completely revoked the Treaty of Troyes) and thus recognised Charles VII as king of France. Philip signed for a variety of reasons, one of which may have been a desire to be recognised as the Premier Duke in France. Philip then attacked Calais, but this alliance with Charles was broken in 1439, with Philip supporting the revolt of the French nobles the following year (an event known as the Praguerie) and sheltering the Dauphin Louis.[citation needed]

Philip generally was preoccupied with matters in his own territories and seldom was directly involved in the Hundred Years' War, although he did play a role during a number of periods such as the campaign against Compiègne during which his troops captured Joan of Arc. He incorporated Namur into Burgundian territory in 1429 (March 1, by purchase from John III, Marquis of Namur), Hainault and Holland, Friesland and Zeeland in 1432 (with the defeat of Countess Jacqueline in the last episode of the Hook and Cod wars). He inherited the Duchies of Brabant and Limburg and the Margraviate of Antwerp in 1430 (on the death of his cousin Philip of Saint-Pol); and purchased Luxembourg in 1443 from Elisabeth of Bohemia, Duchess of Luxembourg. Philip also managed in 1456 to ensure his illegitimate son, David, was elected Bishop of Utrecht, and his nephew Louis of Bourbon Prince-Bishop of Liège. It is not surprising that in 1435, Philip began to style himself "Grand Duke of the West".

In 1463 Philip returned some of his territory to Louis XI. That year he also created an Estates-General based on the French model. The first meeting of the Estates-General was to obtain a loan for a war against France and to ensure support for the succession of his son, Charles I, to his dominions. In 1465 and 1467, Philip crushed two rebellions in Liège.

Philip died in Bruges in 1467.

Philip's court can only be described as extravagant. Despite the flourishing bourgeois culture of Burgundy, which the court kept in close touch with, he and the aristocrats who formed most of his inner circle retained a world-view dominated by knightly chivalry. He declined membership in the English Order of the Garter in 1422, which could have been considered an act of treason against the King of France, his feudal overlord. Instead in 1430 he created his own Order of the Golden Fleece, based on the Knights of the Round Table and the myth of Jason.

He had no fixed capital and moved the court between various palaces, the main urban ones being Brussels, Bruges, or Lille. He held grand feasts and other festivities, and the knights of his Order frequently travelled throughout his territory participating in tournaments. In 1454 Philip planned a crusade against the Ottoman Empire, launching it at the Feast of the Pheasant, but this plan never materialized. In a period from 1444 to 1446 he is estimated to have spent a sum equivalent to 2% of Burgundy's main tax income in the recette génerale, with a single Italian supplier of silk and cloth of gold, Giovanni di Arrigo Arnolfini.[11]

His court was regarded as the most splendid in Europe, and became the accepted leader of taste and fashion, which probably helped the Burgundian economy considerably, as Burgundian (usually Flemish) luxury products became sought by the elites of other parts of Europe. During his reign, for example, the richest English commissioners of illuminated manuscripts moved away from English and Parisian products to those of the Netherlands, as did other foreign buyers. Philip himself is estimated to have added six hundred manuscripts to the ducal collection, making him by a considerable margin the most important patron of the period.[12] Jean Miélot was one of his secretaries, translating into French such works as Giovanni Bocaccio's Genealogia Deorum Gentilium.

Philip was also a considerable patron of other arts, commissioning many tapestries (which he tended to prefer over paintings), pieces from goldsmiths, jewellery, and other works of art. It was during his reign that the Burgundian chapel became the musical center of Europe, with the activity of the Burgundian School of composers and singers. Gilles Binchois, Robert Morton, and later Guillaume Dufay, the most famous composer of the 15th century, were all part of Philip's court chapel.

In 1428 Jan van Eyck traveled to Portugal to paint a portrait of King John I's daughter Infanta Isabella for Philip in advance of their marriage. With help from more experienced Portuguese shipbuilders Philip established a shipyard in Bruges. Rogier van der Weyden painted his portrait twice on panel, of which only copies survive, wearing the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The only original van der Weyden of Philip to survive is a superb miniature from a manuscript (above left).[12] The painter Hugo van der Goes, of the Early Netherlandish school, is credited with creating paintings for the church where Philip's funeral was held.
