Talk:Philip II of France

message: 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).

message: Can someone provide a picture of the king?
: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. Hardouin 02:08, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture 

message: 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! Agne27 00:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Read this. Seems like a reliable source, but the author concludes: "The big question here is what does "men sleeping together" mean? Some authors deny it has any sexual overtones."

thread_title:  Are we going to mention Philip's gay fetishes? 

message: 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 unsigned comment added by Wynfryda (talk • contribs) 14:58, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

===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?JGC1010 (talk) 14:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  When was he called Auguste? 

message: 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? Emerson 07 (talk) 11:42, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: 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. Hchc2009 (talk) 06:40, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: 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. Eric talk 22:24, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  THE 

message: 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)Geoff Powers (talk) 18:16, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Historical appreciation? 

message: 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. Surtsicna (talk) 13:36, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi - 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. Eric talk 15:24, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Margaret's dowry 

message: 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 unsigned comment added by Cerdic1096 (talk • contribs) 00:31, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ingeborg 

message: 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. Eric talk 19:48, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible plagiarism 

message: 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? Tickery (talk) 19:12, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: 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. --Kansas Bear (talk) 21:48, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
