Notes
Philip III (30 April 1245 - 5 October 1285), called the Bold (French: l e H a r d i ), was King of France from 1270 to 1285, the tenth from the Hous e o f C a p e t.
Philip proved indecisive, soft in nature, and timid. The strong persona l i t i e s of his parents apparently crushed him, and policies of his fathe r d o m i n ated him. People called him "the Bold" on the basis of his abili ti e s i n c o mbat and on horseback an
d not on the basis of his political or personal character. He was pious b u t n o t c u ltivated. He followed the suggestions of others, first of Pier r e d e L a B r oce and then of his uncle King Charles I of Naples, Sicily, a n d A l b a nia.
His father, Louis IX, died in Tunis during the Eighth Crusade. Philip, w h o w a s a c companying him, came back to France to claim his throne and wa s a n o i n ted at Reims in 1271.
Philip made numerous territorial acquisitions during his reign, the mos t n o t a b le being the County of Toulouse which was annexed to the Crown l an d s o f F r ance in 1271. Following the Sicilian Vespers, a rebellion tri g g e re d b y Peter III of Aragon against Philip's uncle Charles I of Naple s , P h i l ip led an unsuccessful Aragonese Crusade in support of his uncle . P h i l i p was forced to retreat and died from dysentry in Perpignan in 1 28 5 . H e w a s succeeded by his son Philip the Fair.
