First sentence: This book deals with the organisation and functioning of the Burgundian armies under the Valois Dukes of Burgundy:Philip the Bold (1342-1404; reigned 1364-1404) John the Fearless (1371-1419; reigned 1404-1419) Philip the Good (1396-1467; reigned 1419-1467) Charles the Bold (1433-1477; reigned 1467-1477) They are known as the Valois Dukes because Philip the Bold, the first duke, was the son of King John the Good of France, of the House of Valois, in the same sense that the English ruling house at the time was Plantagenet.
