Philippe inherited the county of Evreux in Normandy on the death of his father in 1319. Ten years later, on 9 October 1329, he married Jeanne II de France, queen of Navarre, daughter of Louis X 'le Hutin', king of France and Navarre, and his first wife Marguerite de Bourgogne. Philippe became Philippe III, king consort of Navarre, by virtue of his marriage. He and Jeanne had nine children, of whom seven would have progeny, including his eldest son and heir Charles.
Jeanne held extensive fiefdoms in northern France, as well as Navarre. Because of their lands and their many royal relatives, Philippe and his wife were influential in both France and Navarre.
