==Early life== Little is recorded about Philip's childhood and youth, in large part because he was of minor royal birth. Philip's father, [[Charles, Count of Valois]], was the younger brother of King [[Philip IV of France]].<ref>David Nicolle, ''CrΓ©cy 1346: Triumph of the Longbow'', (Osprey, 2000), 12.</ref> Charles had striven throughout his life to gain the throne for himself but was never successful. He died in 1325, leaving his eldest son Philip as heir to the counties of [[County of Anjou|Anjou]], [[Maine (province)|Maine]], and [[Counts and dukes of Valois|Valois]].<ref name="Hallam366">Elizabeth Hallam and Judith Everard, ''Capetian France 987β1328'', 2nd edition, (Pearson Education Limited, 2001), 366.</ref>
