Philip of Chieti

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philip of Flanders , or Philip of Chieti (* around 1263, † November 1308 in Italy ), was a regent of Flanders from the House of Dampierre . He was a younger son of Count Guido I of Flanders († 1305) and Mathilde de Béthune.

Philip moved to southern Italy in 1290 to support King Charles II of Naples in the fight against Aragón . For his work he was entrusted with the county of Teano . In 1303, he returned to Flanders, where in a Flemish citizen army against the knights of the French king in the earlier Battle of the Spurs had won a victory. Together with his half-brothers Johann von Namur and Guido von Namur , Philip now took over the leadership of the rebellious Flanders, while his father and older brother, Robert de Béthune , were imprisoned by France. In the battle of Mons-en-Pévèle in 1304, however, they suffered a heavy defeat against King Philip IV the Fair . Philip then entered into diplomatic negotiations with the king, swore allegiance to him in Marquette-lez-Lille in September 1304 and was involved in the negotiations on the Treaty of Athis-sur-Orge in 1305 .

According to the annals of Ghent , Philip of Chieti died in Italy in November 1308 and was buried in Naples . He was married to Mathilde de Courtenay († 1303), Countess of Chieti , from the House of Courtenay . They didn't have any children.
