The Question of Borgoa, 1363. Upon the death of the last holder (21 Nov. 1361), John II "the Good" seized the Duchy of Borgoa and passed it on to his son (6 Sept. 1363), Philip the Bold, thus giving rise to the House of Valois of Borgoa, who ruled a semi-independent territory very similar to ancient Lotharingia. Charles II, as grandson of Margaret, daughter of the Duke of Borgo to Robert II, protested angrily. "The Navarrese," Campin relates, "then stirred up the Grandes Compagnies," whose captains he was a friend or patron of, and drove them into France. John Jouel, Michael of Villanova, Wauter Strael, John of Tilly, William of the Hague and other fearsome leaders took to the field. John de Grailly, the captain of Buch and cousin of the king, heads for Normandy with a large force. The Dauphin defends himself by striking a blow; he confiscates the fiefs in France that Don Carlos possesses and charges Beltrèn du Guesclin with the ution of this decree.
