In 1519, Charles married young Elisabeth of Brunswick. The marriage remained childless.
In the Treaty of Gorinchem (1528), the emperor finally recognized Charles of Egmond as Duke of Guelders. However, if Charles were to die childless, the emperor (Charles V, who was Philip's son) would inherit the duchy. At that moment, Charles did not have any children yet, and therefore he delayed signing the treaty. Another battle ensued, after which the offending passage was deleted from the treaty, and in 1536 there was finally peace between Guelders and Burgundy.
