Autour de Philippe Auguste

This book examines the pivotal reign of Philippe Auguste, focusing on the critical events of July 1214. It highlights the defeat of John Lackland at La Roche-aux-Moines and the decisive victory against Emperor Otto IV's coalition at Bouvines. The work explores how these successes solidified French territorial gains, neutralized Anglo-Angevin threats, and established the Capetian monarchy as the dominant power in Christendom.
