Philippe of Burgundy , called Philippe Monsieur , (* November 10, 1323 ; † August 10, 1346 before Aiguillon ) was (uxor nomine) Count of Auvergne and Boulogne (1338-1346). He was the only son of Duke Odo IV of Burgundy and Countess Johanna II of Burgundy and Artois , who got past childhood.

They had three children:

In 1340 he fought alongside his father in the defense of the city of Saint-Omer against the attacks of the deposed Count Robert III. by Artois . In 1346 he took part in the siege of Aiguillon , which was led by the future French king John II . When he was riding in a skirmish on August 10th, his horse stumbled while jumping over a ditch, threw off his rider and buried him under himself; Philip was killed by a hoof blow.
