  He was saved from a serious illness after a pilgrimage made by his fath e r t o t h e t omb of Thomas Becket; he succeeded to the throne 18 Septembe r , 1 1 8 0 . His marriage with Isabella of Hainault, niece of the Count of F l a n d e rs, the conflicts which he afterwards sustained against the latter , a n d t h e d eaths of the Countess (1182) and Count of Flanders (1185), i nc r e a s ed the royal power in the north of France. His strife with Henry I I o f E n g l and in concert with the sons of that monarcrch, Henry, Richard , a n d J o h n, resulted in 1189 in the Treaty of Azay-sur-Ch er, which enh an c e d t h e royal power in the centre of France. The struggle with the Pl a n t a g enets was the ruling idea of Philip II's whole policy. Richard Cï ¿ ½ u r d e L i o n h aving become King of England, 6 July, 1189 , was at first on a m i c a b le terms with Philip. Together they undertook the Third Crusade, b u t q u a r reled in Palestine, and on his return Philip II accused Richard o f h a v i n g attempted to poison him.
