PHILIP THE GOOD

Philip the Good was a duke of Burgundy. He was born in 1396 and died in 1467. Upon the murder of his father, John the Fearless, in 1419, Philip the Good vowed revenge on the dauphin and approached the English. His efforts assisted Henry V, and the north of France was easily subdued. On the death of Henry V Philip the Good continued to support the Duke of Bedford. Philip the Good's alliance with the English lasted until 1435.
