Guy de la Trémoille (1346 - 1397), a chamberlain of Philip the Bold, duke of Burgundy; later councillor and chamberlain of king Charles VI of France. Son of Guy de la Trémoille and Radegonde de Guérand. He married Marie de Sully and gained the title of lord of Sully. She was daughter and heir of Louis I, lord of Sully, and Isabelle de Craon. John Bell Henneman has noted that Marie brought with her to this marriage such a large inheritance that it made the fortune of her husband's family.
Gaucher VII de Châtillon (? - 1413), lord of Châtillon, Troissy and Marigny, councillor and chamberlain of king Charles VI of France. He was the son of Gaucher VI de Châtillon and Allemande Flotte de Revel, and he married 1) Marie Jeanne Cassinel 2) Isabeau de Vendôme.
Philippe, known as 'the Bold', duke of Burgundy (1342 - 1404), fourth son of Jean II of France and Bonne of Luxemburg. The duke of Burgundy was a prominent figure in the government of France during the reign of his nephew Charles VI, especially after 1392 when the king began to suffer from recurring bouts of insanity that gave the dukes of Berry and Burgundy the opportunity to seize power from Charles VI's trusted administrators, known as the Marmousets. Philippe married Margaret de Male, countess of Flanders, and this marriage eventually not only reunited the duchy of Burgundy with the 'free' counties of Burgundy and Artois, but also brought the wealthy counties of Flanders, Nevers and Rethel under the control of the duke of Burgundy. Thus this marriage alliance, and the consequent marriages of the duke of Burgundy's children, created the basis for the Grand Duchy of the West, a quasi-independent state rather than a mere fief of the French crown.
Philippe d'Artois, count of Eu (1358 - 1397), constable of France. He was the third son of Jean d'Artois, count of Eu, and Isabeau de Melun. He was married to Marie of Berry. Philippe d'Artois died whilst he was held hostage by the Turks after the military disaster of Nicopolis (1396), as Froissart recounts in Book IV of the Chronicles: '...le conte d'Eu fut si debilités de maladie et si alterés des ers et des viands dures et estranges qu'il ot, lesquelles il n'avoit point acoustumé ne aprins, que a Haulte Loge en Grece, la ou il se tenoit avecq les autres, il moru et trespassa de ce siecle, dont tous les seigneurs et compaignons furent moult courrouchiés, mais amender ne le peurent.
