Philippus Masius or Philippe Maes, knight, (died 1627), lord of Bodeghem and Ophem, was a diplomat and public servant in the Spanish Netherlands.
Philippe was the youngest son of Jacobus Maes, a member of the Council of Brabant, and Aleide de Tassis.
[2] From 1610 to 1618 he served the Archdukes Albert and Isabella as their resident envoy to the court of Pope Paul V.[3] In 1618 he was appointed president of the Lille Chamber of Accounts.
At Albert's death in 1621 he was careful to see that his office and underlings took the correct steps to publicly mourn the Archduke.
[4] Maes died in Brussels on 18 October 1627 and was buried in the collegiate church of St Peter in Lille.
