• Notes

  Count of Flanders. Count of Rethel. "Peer of France, able, unscrupulous and autocratic, he increased the political and economic power of Flanders, his authority ended when urban revolt starting in Ghent and spreading throughout Flanders, was finally suppressed in 1382 by his French allies at the battle of Roosebeke (Westrozebeke), where the rebel Flemish army was slaughtered." [The Ancestry of Charles II, King of England (citation details below)]
