    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Accession: 1125; Count of Troyes Count of Champagne Thibaut IV Count of Bloi

    Notes:

    French nobility, as Thibaut II Count of Champagne and as Thibaut IV Count of Blois. He was the second-eldest son of Étienne Henri de Blois and Adela of England. He inherited the titles Count of Troyes and Count of Champagne from his uncle Hugh in 1125. His relationship with his liege Louis VI was a quite ambivalent relationship. While he supported him in 1111 against a revolt, he turned against him two years later when the king denied him the county of Corbeil. He allied with his uncle Henry I of England, but signed a peace contract with Louis when Henry was excommunicated. From 1127 on, he again opposed the King of France. This constant changing of sides didn't change with the new king, Louis VII. After Thibaut had helped arrange his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1137 he came into conflict with the king about the introduction of a new Archbishop of Bourges. After the death of Henry I, he was proposed by the Norman barons to succeed him, as he was the eldest grandson of William the Conqueror. But his youngest brother Stephen was able to obtain the crown. In exchange, he received the regency over Normandy, which he lost again in 1144 when Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou, invaded the county. He was unable to prevent it because he was occupied with Louis who had invaded the Champagne. But soon Louis feared the new strength of the Anjou family and now allied with Thibaut. He is known as a supporter of the Cistercians and for the foundation of the abbeys of Clairvaux, Trois-Fontaines and Pontigny. He also granted Pierre Abelard refuge after he had had to flee from Saint Denis University. Thibaut was married to Mathilde of Carinthia who bore him eleven children. His eldest sons married the daughters of King Louis and Eleanor while his youngest daughter married the king himself.

    Notes:

    Queen Consort. She was the youngest daughter of Thibaut IV de Blois and Mathilde of Carinthia. She married Louis VII on November 13th, 1160 in Paris, five weeks after his second wife Constance de Castille had died. They both liked each other and she had some influence on him. Louis married his daughters, Marie and Alix, from his first marriage to her brothers, Henri and Thibaut. In 1165 she gave birth to the longed for successor, Philippe. Two girls, Alix and Agnes, were born in 1170 and 1171. Following tradition Philippe was crowned king when he was fourteen. At this time Louis was very ill and Adèle hoped to act as a regent for him if Louis died suddenly. Philippe surprised everyone and claimed the power for himself and choose a wife without his parents consent. Her husband died in 1180 and Philippe became king. During his absence on the crusade she reigned the kingdom following strict rules set by him. After his return to France she quietly retired. Following her last wish she was buried in Pontigny instead of St. Denis

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Accession: 1180; King of France

    Notes:

    Philip II Augustus was the King of France from 1180 until his death. A member of the House of Capet, Philip Augustus was born at Gonesse in the Val-d'Oise, the son of Louis VII and his third wife, Adela of Champagne. He was originally nicknamed Dieudonné—the God-given—as he was the first son of Louis VII late in his father's life.
    Philip was one of the most successful medieval French monarchs in expanding the royal demesne and the influence of the monarchy. He broke up the great Angevin Empire and defeated a coalition of his rivals (German, Flemish and English) at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214. He reorganized the government, bringing financial stability to the country and making possible a sharp increase in prosperity. His reign was popular with ordinary people because he checked the power of the nobles and passed some of it on to the growing middle class.
    In declining health, Louis VII had him crowned and anointed at Rheims by the Archbishop William Whitehands on November 1, 1179. He was married on April 28, 1180 to Isabelle of Hainaut, who brought the County of Artois as her dowry. His father died on 20 September 1180.
    Philip's eldest son, Louis, was born on 5 September 1187 and inherited Artois in 1190, when Isabelle, his mother, died.
    Philip went on the Third Crusade (1189–1192) with Richard I of England (1189–99) and the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick I Barbarossa (1155–90).
    By the time Acre surrendered on July 12 1191, Philip was severely ill with dysentery which reduced his crusading zeal. Ties with Richard were further strained after the latter acted in a haughty manner after Acre had fallen.
    Philip II Augustus died 14 July 1223 at Mantes and was interred in Saint Denis Basilica. Philip's son by Isabelle de Hainaut, Louis VIII, was his successor.
