    Notes:

    Philippe II, King Of France, known as Philip Augustus, was the first great king
    of the Capetian dynasty. A clever statesman, he not only expanded the kingdom
    of France, but also made the monarchy powerful.

    Philip came to the throne when his father, Louis VII, died in 1180. His first
    triumph was adding Picardy to his kingdom. This region was promised him as a
    dowry, but he had to force his father-in-law to give it up.

    Philip then determined to gain the English possessions in France for himself.
    To weaken England's power, he encouraged the sons of the English king, Henry II,
    to revolt against their father. Henry's oldest son, Richard the Lion-Hearted,
    took the English throne in 1189, and he and went together on the Third Crusade.
    But Philip soon returned home and began to make trouble for the absent Richard.

    In 1194, Richard returned and began a war against Philip, but was killed in
    battle in 1199. Richard's brother, King John, went to war with Philip in 1202.
    Philip took advantage of John's mistakes and successfully conquered most of the
    English holdings in France. John kept only the southern part of Aquitaine, or
    Guienne. Philip's victory at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214 established his
    hold on the conquered regions.

    Philip then held greater powers than any of his strongest barons, and he
    carried out a series of governmental reforms. These reforms laid the basis for
    the later rule of the French kings.

    Notes:

    Louis IX King Of France or Saint Louis was the leader of two crusades. He came
    to the throne when he was 12, with his mother as regent. Under her training,
    he became a pious, unselfish ruler. He fought a war with Henry III of England,
    who at that time ruled part of France. This war ended in 1259 when the two
    kings signed the Treaty of Paris. Louis increased royal power at the expense
    of the nobles, but he won their respect by being fair and just.

    In 1248, Louis led a crusade to the Holy Land. He was defeated in Egypt and
    taken prisoner. The Moslems released him after he agreed to pay a large
    ransom. Louis led another crusade in 1270, but died in northern Africa when a
    plague broke out in his army. He was considered an ideal ruler. Even his
    enemies admired him for his fairness. Louis was cannonized by Pope Boniface
    VIII in 1297.
