biography
In 1298 he took part in the battle of Göllheim against the German King Adolf von Nassau , in the course of which the king fell. In 1302 he fought for the French king Philip IV in the battle of the spurs against the Flemings , in 1304 in the battle of Mons-en-Pévèle . Then he was - together with John II of Brabant and Amadeus V of Savoy - commissioned to negotiate a peace treaty with the Flemings. In 1305 he accompanied Philip to Lyons for the coronation of Pope Clement V.
