'''Philip of Rouvres''' (1346 &ndash; 21 November 1361) was the [[Count of Burgundy]] (as '''Philip II''') and [[Count of Artois]] (as '''Philip III''') from 1347, [[Duke of Burgundy]] (as '''Philip I''') from 1349, and [[Count of Auvergne]] and [[Count of Boulogne|Boulogne]] (as '''Philip III''') from 1360. He was the only son of [[Philip I, Count of Auvergne|Philip]], heir to the [[Duchy of Burgundy]], and [[Joan I of Auvergne and Boulogne|Joan I]], heiress of Auvergne and Boulogne.

==Biography==
Philip succeeded his grandmother in the County of Burgundy (Franche-Comté) and Artois when he was only one year old. He succeeded his grandfather when he was only three. His deceased father was the only child of [[Odo IV, Duke of Burgundy]], and of [[Joan III, Countess of Burgundy]] and Artois. In 1355, Philip married [[Margaret III, Countess of Flanders|Margaret]], daughter of [[Louis II, Count of Flanders|Louis de Mâle, Count of Flanders]].{{sfn|Blockmans|Prevenier|1999|p=13}}

Philip, in his own right, held the counties of [[Artois]] and [[Franche-Comté|Burgundy]] from 1349 (inherited from his grandmother),{{sfn|Jackson|1999|p=200}} the Duchy of Burgundy from 1349 (inherited from his grandfather) and the counties of [[Auvergne (province)|Auvergne]] and [[Count of Boulogne|Boulogne]] from 1360 (inherited from his mother). In 1357, by marrying the future [[Margaret III, Countess of Flanders]], then [[count of Flanders|heiress of Flanders]], he was promised the counties of [[County of Flanders|Flanders]], [[County of Nevers|Nevers]], [[Rethel]], and [[Margraviate of Antwerp|Antwerp]], and the duchies of [[Duchy of Brabant|Brabant]], and [[Duchy of Limburg|Limburg]]. Most of these lands were located in the [[Low Countries]].

His mother Joanna, who became Queen of France after her remarriage to King [[John II of France]], governed Burgundy as Philip's guardian until her death in September 1360.{{sfn|Sumption|1999|p=382}} Philip was declared of age on 20 October the same year.

==Death and succession==
In 1361 at the age of 15, Philip died, either of the [[Bubonic plague|plague]]{{sfn|De Winter|1983|p=95}} or from injuries suffered in a riding accident,{{sfn|Ormrod|2011|p=417}} before he could consummate his marriage to Margaret. With his death, King [[John II of France]] claimed the duchy for the kingdom of France,{{sfn|Ormrod|2011|p=417}} making his youngest son [[Philip the Bold]] royal lieutenant-general by 27 June 1363 and duke of Burgundy by June 1364.{{sfn|Vaughan|2005|p=152}}
