philip -lrb- 29 august 1116 -- 13 october 1131 -rrb- was the king of france from 1129 , co-ruling with his father , louis vi .
his mother was louis vi 's second wife , adelaide of maurienne .
the favourite son of his father as a child , philip was enthroned alongside louis vi as joint king in 1129 .
however , the young king gave his father little joy after that , refusing to pay attention to the old king or to follow the high standards that louis himself followed .
he became disobedient , refusing to heed scoldings or warnings ; walter map said that he `` strayed from the paths of conduct travelled by his father and , by his overweening pride and tyrannical arrogance , made himself a burden to all . ''
philip 's brief period as king was ended two years after his coronation .
riding with a group of companions along the seine , in the parisian market section named the greve , his running horse was tripped by a black pig which darted out of a dung heap on the quay .
the horse fell forwards , and the young king was catapulted over its head .
the fall `` so dreadfully fractured his limbs that he died on the day following '' without regaining consciousness .
he was buried at st denis , and succeeded as heir , and co-king , by his pious brother , louis the younger -lrb- now known as louis vii -rrb- .
if philip had been little other than trouble and a problem to his family and kingdom whilst he had lived , his legacy would prove greater trouble still .
whilst he had lived , he had nurtured a dream of visiting jerusalem and the tomb of christ ; when he died , his brother , louis vii , vowed to go in philip 's place .
this vow would provide a reason for louis joining the disastrous second crusade and an excuse to abandon antioch in favour of jerusalem .
the crusade brought many deaths on both sides , and the abandonment of antioch proved a strategic failure and a partial cause for the collapse of the marriage between louis and his wife , eleanor of aquitaine .
because he was co-king rather than a king in his own right , he is not generally given a number in the succession of kings of france .
