Philip of Orléans (1 July 1336 – 1 September 1375) was a Duke of Orléans, Touraine, and Count of Valois, the fifth son of King Philip VI of France and his wife Joan the Lame. His father named him Duke of Orléans, a newly created duchy, in 1344. Shortly before that, in 1343, Philip's father (king Philip VI) initiated negotiations with the dauphin Humbert II of Viennois, regarding the future inheritance of the Dauphiné, a vast feudal polity within the Kingdom of Burgundy (Arles), then under the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Empire. Since Humbert had no heirs, it was initially agreed that all of his feudal domains will pass to young Philip, but already in 1344, those provisions were changed by the new agreement, designating Philip's older brother John as Humbert's heir in the Dauphiné, while Philip was compensated with other domains.
