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.

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.

Philip the Bold arrived at Tournay on 12 November 1379 to serve as the active agent for peace between the count of Flanders and the Flemish, and on 15 November he opened direct negotiations with the Flemish forces besieging Oudenaarde. The first meeting took place at Rosne on 19 November; see Richard Vaughan, Philip the Bold (Boydell and Brewer, 2002), p. 21.

la guerre a ses gens le hourdoit trop, ne oncques ne l’encharga voulentiers, et aussi, sa dame, mere
de la contesse Mar guerite d’Artoys, en estoit trop courroucee et l’en
