Philip of Saint Pol ( July 25 1404 – Leuven , August 14 , 1430 ), younger son of Antoine, Duke Of Brabant and Jeanne of Saint-Pol, succeeded his brother John as Duke Of Brabant in 1427 . He had already been given Saint-Pol and Ligny as an appanage on the death of his grandfather Waleran III in 1415 . He commanded the Burgundian forces occupying Paris in 1419 , but he returned to Brabant in 1420 , where the populace complained of his brother's misadministration. He was declared ''ruwaard'' (regent) of Brabant. In 1421 , he was reconciled with his brother, and resigned the regency. The citizens were pacified by John's "Nieuw Regiment" in 1422 . During his own reign, Philip was forced to grant concessions to the nobility in 1428 . Wary of the rise of his cousin and heir Philip The Good in the Hook And Cod Wars , he sought a marital alliance with Louis II Of Anjou against Burgundy . He was betrothed to Louis' daughter Yolande, but his sudden death in 1430 undid his plans and placed Brabant in the hands of Philip the Good. Saint-Pol and Ligny went to his great-aunt Jeanne, by Proximity Of Blood . |
