	Louis II of Flanders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Louis II of Flanders (October 25, 1330, Male – January 30, 1384, Lille), known as Louis of Male, was the son of Louis I of Flanders and Marguerite of France, and Count of Flanders.
		In 1379, he obtained aid from his son-in-law, Philip II of Burgundy, to put down a revolt in Ghent.
		The Flemings again rose under Philip van Artevelde and expelled him from Flanders after the Battle of Beverhoutsveld; however, the influence of Philip procured a French army to relieve him, and the Flemings were decisively defeated at the Battle of Roosebeke.
