Philippe de Crèvecœur, seigneur d'Esquerdes (1418–1494), was a French military commander and a Marshal of France in 1486. He is also known as Maréchal des Cordes or Maréchal d'Esquerdes.
When Charles the Bold was killed in 1477 without a male heir, Crèvecœur went over to serve King Louis XI of France, who claimed all the lands owned by Charles. Crèvecœur remained governor of Picardy and also puts Artois under French rule, delivering Arras to the French Army. For this, he received the Order of Saint Michael.
When Charles VIII of France prepared his Italian campaign in 1494, Crèvecœur was given the command of the vanguard, but he died at L'Arbresle near Lyon, before the start of the campaign.[1]
He had no children and was buried in the Notre-Dame church of Boulogne-sur-Mer.
