Philip
accompanied his father on the Eighth Crusade to Tunisia in 1270.
His father died at Tunis and Philip was declared king at the age
of 25. Philip was indecisive, soft in nature, timid, and
apparently crushed by the strong personalities of his parents
and dominated by his father's policies. He was called "the Bold"
on the basis of his abilities in combat and on horseback and not
his character. He was pious, but not cultivated. He followed the
dictates of others, first of Pierre de la Broce and then of his
uncle Charles I of Sicily.
After his succession, Philip quickly set his uncle, Charles I,
on negotiations with the emir to conclude the crusade, while he
himself returned to France. A ten-year truce was concluded and
Philip was crowned in France on 12 August 1271. |

|
|
On 21 August,
his uncle, Alfonso, [Count of Poitou, Toulouse, and Auvergne]
died in Italy while returning from the crusade and Philip
inherited his lands. |

After Isabella's death, he married on 21 August
1274, Marie de Brabant, daughter of Henry III of
Brabant and Adelaide of Burgundy. Their children
were:

In 1284, Philip
and his sons entered Roussillon at the head of a large army.
This war, called the Aragonese Crusade from its papal sanction,
has been labeled "perhaps the most unjust, unnecessary and
calamitous enterprise ever undertaken by the Capetian monarchy."
On 26 June 1285, Philip the Bold entrenched himself before
Gerona in an attempt to besiege it. The resistance was strong,
but the city was taken on 7 September. Philip soon experienced a
reversal, however, as the French camp was hit hard by an
epidemic of dysentery. Philip himself was afflicted. The French
retreated and were handily defeated at the Battle of the Col de
Panissars. |
|
|
|
The king of France himself died at Perpignan, the capital of his
ally James II of Majorca, and was buried in Narbonne. He
currently lies buried with his wife Isabella of Aragon in Saint
Denis Basilica in Paris. |
