In 1464, he obtained the county of Bresse, but the Swiss deprived him of it. During the reigns of four dukes before him, Philippe demonstrated his restless and violent nature. He killed Jean de Varax, one of his mother's favourites, and his own father feared him so much that he resorted to asking King Louis XI of France to control him. The King had him locked away in the prison of Loches. After taking part in the wars of the house of Burgundy, he offered his sword to Charles VIII, and accompanied him with his expedition to Naples in 1494, and after the conquest, Charles recognised his services by appointing him his grand chamberlain and grand master of his court, and by granting him a number of counties in Naples. Philippe was appointed co-lieutenant general of Savoy and Piedmont for Charles II, his great-nephew, and he proved to be very capable in repelling disturbances and maintaining the peace. In 1496, he was peacefully acknowledged as the legitimate successor to Charles II. He he reigned for only eighteen months.
