Philip VI. and Jeanne of See also:Burgundy, succeeded his See also:father in 1350. At the See also:age of 13 he married See also:Bona of See also:Luxemburg, daughter of John, king of Bohemia. His See also:early exploits against the See also:English were failures and revealed in the See also:young See also:prince both avarice and stubborn persistence in projects obviously See also:ill-advised. It was especially the latter quality which brought about his ruin. His first See also:act upon becoming king was to See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")

constable, Raoul de Brienne. The reasons for this are unknown, but from the secrecy with which it was carried. out and the readiness with which the See also:honour was transferred to the king's See also:close friend See also:Charles of La Cesda, it has been attributed to the See also:influence and ambition of the latter. John surrounded himself with evil counsellors, See also:Simon de Buci, See also:Robert de Lorris, See also:Nicolas Braque, men of See also:low origin who robbed the See also:treasury and oppressed the See also:people, while the king gave himself up to tournaments and festivities. In See also:imitation of the English order of the Garter, he established the knightly order of the See also:Star, and celebrated its festivals with See also:great display. Raids of the See also:Black Prince in See also:Languedoc led to the states-See also:general of 1355, which readily voted See also:money, but sanctioned the right of resistance against all kinds. of pillage —a distinct commentary on the incompetence of the king. In See also:September 1356 John gathered the See also:flower of his See also:chivalry and attacked the Black Prince at See also:Poitiers. The utter defeat of the See also:French was made the more humiliating by the See also:capture of their king, who had bravely led the third See also:line of See also:battle. Taken to See also:England to await See also:ransom, John was at first installed in the See also:Savoy See also:Palace,- then at See also:Windsor, See also:Hertford, Somerton, and at last in the See also:Tower. He was granted royal See also:state with his See also:captive companions, made a See also:guest at tournaments, and supplied with luxuries imported by him from France. The treaty of Bretigny (136o), which fixed his ransom at 3,000,000 crowns, enabled him to return to France, but although he married his daughter See also:Isabella to Gian Galeazzo See also:Visconti of See also:Milan, for a See also:gift of 600,000 See also:golden crowns, imposed a heavy feudal " aid " on merchandise, and various other taxes, John was unable to pay more than 400,000 crowns to See also:Edward III.
