Grandson of Philip the Bold and son of John the Fearless, he was also the founder of the Order of the Golden Fleece. Surrounded by a brilliant court, he built or embellished his residences, from Dijon to Bruges, from Lille to Brussels, and as far away as Ghent. What was his education? Why did he not experience the battlefields until so late in life? Can we say that he was reckless in combat? What was the role of his council in governing the duchy, and what role did his third wife, Isabella of Portugal, play? In this first installment of our new History Lessons series, Bertrand Schnerb introduces us to this duke who did not want to be king. Guest: Bertrand Schnerb is Professor Emeritus at the University of Lille. A medievalist, he specializes in the Burgundian state. The author of numerous works on the subject, he has just published a masterful and definitive book, "Philip the Good, the Duke of Burgundy Who Didn't Want to Be King," published by Tallandier (974 pages, €31.90). *** Facebook:   / histoireetcivilisationsmag   Instagram:   / histoireetcivilisations   Twitter:   / storiavoce
