===Search for a wife and first marriage===

Initially a marriage with [[Eleanor of Woodstock]], sister of King Edward III of England, was considered, but instead Philip invited King [[John the Blind]] of Bohemia to [[Palace of Fontainebleau|Fontainebleau]]. Bohemia had aspirations to control [[Lombardy]] and needed French diplomatic support. A treaty was drawn up. The military clauses stipulated that, in the event of war, Bohemia would support the French army with four hundred infantrymen. The political clauses ensured that the Lombard crown would not be disputed if the king of Bohemia managed to obtain it. Philip selected [[Bonne of Bohemia]] as a wife for his son, as she was closer to child-bearing age (16&nbsp;years), and the dowry was fixed at 120,000 [[Italian coin florin|florins]].

As the new duke of Normandy, John was solemnly granted the arms of a knight in front of a prestigious assembly bringing together the kings of [[John of Bohemia|Bohemia]] and [[Philip III of Navarre|Navarre]], and the dukes of [[Odo IV, Duke of Burgundy|Burgundy]], [[Rudolph, Duke of Lorraine|Lorraine]] and [[John III, Duke of Brabant|Brabant]].
