Life
Pierre II de Villiers was Chamberlain of King Charles VI of France, when, on 21 May 1383, he married, by contract, Jeanne de Châtillon, daughter of Charles and Jeanne de Coucy.
As the King's Chamberlain, he negotiated with the Parisians on behalf of the Duke of Anjou.
In 1390, a suit was brought against him by his half-brother, also called Pierre, Archdeacon of Sologne, concerning the estate of their father. On 20 August 1390 Pierre II was ordered to pay his half-brother six hundred pounds in land and an increased dowry. However, on 9 April, the Court awarded him the lordships of L'Isle-Adam and Valmondois. His half-brother was obligated to keep and maintain the agreement made between them.
On 7 September 1396 a judgment recognized the Lord of Isle-Adam, the right warren on all non-agricultural land of his lordship. That law challenged several owners of the land.
Pierre II de Villiers died at age 34 in 1398. In 1411 he declared his holdings of L’Isle-Adam and Valmondois before the King.
