The
Sorbonne was founded in 1257, so how could he have given it a charter in 1200?
olivier 11:32 3 Jun 2003 (UTC)
It was not the Sorbonne, but the Université de Paris. The Sorbonne was founded in 1257 as one of the colleges of the Université de Paris. It then became the name of this university (today, of three parisian universities).
There is no authentic image of Philip Augustus. The first king of France whose features were accurately carved in stone was Saint-Louis, the grandson of Philip Augustus. There exist no accurate images of any king of France before Saint-Louis.

I added a reference to the famous Battle of the Wines that Philip commissioned (or rather the poem written about it.) I placed it in the later years since it was right before his death that the tasting happened. However, I don't think it quite flows in the section but I was hestitant to reword the section due to my overall lack of familarity with Philip. If any of the article's editors know of a better way to fit it in, they by all means. Thanks!

I don't know exactly what you mean by gay fetishes, but I do have a similar grievance. I haven't read all of the page but the only mentions of Richard Lionheart say nothing about the alleged romantic relationship between the two of them which is mentioned in
History of homosexuality and
History of sex#Same-sex relations. If this relation is mentioned in the above mentioned pages of wikipedia, why is it not mentioned here?

It's mostly speculation, there isn't actually much evidence of it and modern historians seem to discount the rumours. I'd like to see it included but Wikipedians seem to be against rumour.

I have a question about Philip's misadventure in the woods. It says he was recused by a peasant carrying a charcoal burner. Now, does that mean that he was carrying a brazier? Why does a peasant carry a brazier through the woods? Or is this a mistake and should it say that the peasant was a charcoal burner, one of those patient, sleep-deprived souls who cut piles of timber and burned them into mounds of charcoal under heaps of turf? —Preceding

Requested move
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with*'''Support'''or*'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with~~~~. Since
polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account
Wikipedia's naming conventions.
Support, per nomination. Better known as "Philip Augustus." Less impersonal than as a number. But might in future consider "Philip II Augustus."

Weak support. Undoubtedly known in French as Philippe II, but in English Philip Augustus seems as common and Philip II Augustus is not uncommon either. Bradbury's bio is called Philip Augustus. I have the vague recollection that this is how he's called in The Lion in Winter and also how he appeared in the Ladybird book on Richard the Lionheart I had when I was a kid.

Oppose. Systematics (= regnal number) is better, as his nickname is however not so overwhelmingly better known that it really shadows his regnal ordinal.

Unsure. Seems a
line call to me... Some think Augustus is commonly used, others have never heard of it. And of course others cite grounds such as consistency which aren't the issue at all IMO.

Weak Oppose. I think the form "Philip II Augustus" would be proper because it is almost as common for him as for Octavian. However it would create inconsistency and do more harm than good.

Oppose - The current name is surely not obscure. The proposed name is just an epithet. He is known by both but the status quo is more encyclopaedic.

War with John Lackland
In the section with this heading, there is no mention made at all of a John "Lackland". Has part of this section been removed? Or is it a case where "every schoolboy knows" who John Lackland is?

Remains of the wall of Philippe August built around Paris before going to the Crusades. Today in rue des Jardins-Saint-Paul, Paris.Map of Paris showing the wall of Philippe Auguste around the city. The portion remaining today is the easternmost part on the map, next to the suburb of "Bourg St Eloi".
Here's a photograph of the last remaining part of the wall built by Philippe Auguste around Paris before going to the Crusades. Feel free to insert it in the article. Cheers.

Hi. I'm kinda new here, and the info box about him (the one with the picture and dates of coronation, etc.) has as its heading, "{{{name}}}" I looked in the page for a place to edit this, but couldn't find it. Does anyone know where this field is found?

What's with this "the" Vermandois? I've been browsing some Wikipedia articles and "the" keeps cropping up before place names. Is this usage correct?

As far as I know, yes. Lots of French locations are phrased this way in English (similar when we speak about "the Cotswolds", I suppose), and tourist guides like Michelin refer to the Vermandois with that phrase.

From what I've seen here, the the looks to be the result of translating directly from the French. Though not necessarily incorrect, it is often used awkwardly in Wikipedia articles where the name would read better if the English definite article were omitted.

Historical appreciation?
The article lacks any assessment or summation of Philip's character and his abilities as a ruler, over and above the historical narrative 'per se'. I have always understood him to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, and most capable rulers in Europe of the mediaeval period. Surely a section on this aspect is necessary for the sake of completeness? (cf.The French version of the article)

Margaret's dowry
Eric,
dower and
dowry are different things. Margaret received dowry (the territory of
Vexin) from her father. Dower was what she received from her husband's family. Philip demanded the return of her dowry, Vexin, to the French royal domain. If you do not mind, I will correct the article again.

Hi
Surtsicna- Sorry, I took from the context of "widowed sister" that dower was the intent. I reverted my revert. By the way, I found several instances of dot (dowry or dower) in the French article, none of which referred this dowry as far as I could tell.

Ingeborg
I would need to read through several books to find the exact passages and original sources again, but Ingeborg was accused of "witchcraft in the bedchamber" by Phillip , which is suggested by some historians to allude to him not being able to consumate his marriage with Ingeborg on account of a bout of erectile dysfunction. That or her being ugly. — Preceding

Possible plagiarism
Hello all- I don't have time to look into this thoroughly now, but wanted to alert the community. Some of this article seems to have been copied from a 2017 book entitled The 100 Most Influential Military Leaders of All Time. The book is written and laid out poorly enough that we may have to consider an even sadder possibility, that the book's author plagiarized Wikipedia to write the book. Just wanted to send up a flare in case anyone's interested.
Erictalk19:48, 12 September 2019 (UTC)reply
The article says “On 15 August 1193, he married Ingeborg, daughter of King Valdemar I of Denmark, receiving 10,000 marks of silver as a dowry.” In the very next sentence it says “Philip met her at Amiens on 14 August 1193 and they were married that same day.”
Which one is it? The 15th or 14th?

Sorry for the slow response. I have corrected this issue. Bradbury states the same thing as Baldwin, that Philip and Ingeborg met at Amiens on 14 August 1193 and married the same day. --

Territorial conquests Map with no key
Territorial conquests of Philip II
This map is used under 1200-1206 section but has no English
key explaining what the four different colours are. Even the Wikimedia commons description is in French. I added an English key to this article but it was reverted as not necessary. Is it blanked out in the bottom of the image? I still think it is necessary. The red seems to be Kingdom of England?

Hi DJ and all- I don't think a key in the caption is necessary for a map of the size as it displays in the article. When you click on that thumbnail, you're taken to the full-size map image, on which the key (in English) is visible. I don't see anything in French on the image's Commons page. Maybe I'm missing something?
Erictalk00:32, 26 June 2024 (UTC)reply
Ok thanks, the key in English on the map at the bottom appears to have been obscured because I had dark mode on. Perhaps the black text on transparent background could be fixed.

I noticed that transparency on mouseover yesterday and was wondering about it. I've found the French original, will try making a new English version.
Erictalk12:30, 26 June 2024 (UTC)reply
Darrelljon, I tried a reworking of the map graphic, covering the transparent text areas with white, then adding new, sharper text over that. Uploaded it as a new version of the graphic you link above. Also reworked the translations from the French original. What do you think, and how is it viewing? I was thinking of adding links in the description there on Commons to terms such as "
ecclesiastical fiefdom". As you may well already know, you can compare the file versions on that Commons page.
