[3] In 1340, Philip and his father defended the city of Saint-Omer against the assaults of Robert III of Artois.

In 1346, he participated in the siege of Aiguillon, led by John, Duke of Normandy.

The House of Burgundy was then placed in the hands of his young son Philip (1346–1361), who died childless.

[5] Philip's daughter, Joan (1344 – 11 September 1360), was betrothed to Amadeus VI, Count of Savoy from 1347 to 1355, and was raised at his court.

When she was released from the engagement at age 10, she entered a convent at Poissy, where she remained for her final years.
