Philip II (of France)
Philip II (of France) (1165-1223), king of France (1180-1223), one of the most powerful European monarchs of the Middle Ages. Philip was born near Paris. From 1181 to 1186 Philip combated a coalition of barons in Flanders, Burgundy, and Champagne and at their expense increased the royal domain. He later fought the English kings Richard I and John I over control of French territories ruled by the English kings. A coalition of European powers challenged the growing power of France in 1214, but Philip's forces decisively defeated the coalition at the Battle of Bouvines, establishing France as a leading country of Europe. Philip increased royal power by extending the royal domain and by reducing the power of the feudal lords. France prospered from his reorganization of the government. Philip established Paris as the fixed capital of France, paved its streets, and had many new buildings constructed in the city.
