Following the death of Duke Philip of Burgundy, his son John the Fearless arranged the murder of his rival, the Duke of Orleans (brother of King Charles VI), then turned against the people of Liège who had risen against his nominee as their bishop. The young noble crushed the Liègeois in a terrible defeat northeast of Liège at Othée, then made peace with the King.
