It is typical of Philip's character and career that he should die thus, in an expedition undertaken against the interests of his kingdom, at the instigation of his ambitious uncle.
The election was ultimately determined by the diplomacy and the gold of Philip's agents, and the new pope, Clement V., was the weak-willed creature of the French king, to whom he owed the tiara.
Philip was a lover of poetry, surrounded himself with Provencal poets and even wrote in Provencal himself, but he was also one of the most hard-working kings of the house of Capet.

 July 14th
PHILIP AUGUSTUS OF The name of Philip Augustus is better known in English history than those of most of the earlier French monarchs, on account of his relations with the chivalrous Richard Coeur-de-Lion and the unpopular King John.
Philip's reign was a benefit to France, as he laboured successfully to overcome feudalism, and strengthen and consolidate the power of the crown.
Philip, on a swift horse, followed eagerly the boar, until his steed slackened its pace through fatigue, and then the young prince found that he was entirely separated from his companions, and ignorant of the direction in which he might hope to find them.

 History of The Louvre -- Part 2 of 5: The Middle Ages
t the turn of the thirteenth century, the Capetian warrior king Philip Augustus was trying both to wrest several northern French provinces from King John Plantagenet of England, the treacherous brother of Richard the Lionhearted, and to safeguard the Île-de-France, the region of which Paris was the capital.
this arrangement effectively protected Philip Augustus from foreign enemies to the west and disgruntled subjects to the east; it became the model for military defenses throughout the gradually unified kingdom, and the subject of ballads and popular tales.
Philip Augustus's grandson, Louis IX--the future Saint Louis--a Crusader like his ancestor, gained by treaty the Plantagenet lands for which his grandfather had battled.

 Canadian Journal of History: Philip Augustus: King of France, 1180-1223
For Philip, war, that pivotal activity of medieval potentates, was a business-like operation to achieve political and financial aims: it had to be done well but it did not have to be enjoyed.
Philip was intelligent enough to acknowledge his limitations and to leave the actual process of fighting to his capable captains, not least of whom was the redoubtable Guillaume des Barres.
This outstanding accomplishment was facilitated by Philip's able handling and transformation of royal finances (comprehensively analyzed in John Baldwin's masterful study from 1986, The Government of Philip Augustus, which Bradbury has, in effect, complemented with a political narrative).

 Probably composed in the early 1260's, by a man known only as the Minstrel of Rheims, the Récits d'un menéstrel
Philip's other military activities were negligible, and some of his behavior in the field was questionable.
To account for Philip's early departure from the Crusade, for example, the Minstrel chooses a conspiratorial scenario, involving an attempt by Richard I, first to poison Philip, then, by suborning count Thibaut V of Blois, count Philip of Flanders, and Henry II of Champagne, to betray the French king.
The dying man's conscience moves him to confess the plot to king Philip, and to ask that he be dragged by the neck through the streets of Acre as punishment(16).

He was able to stop the shrinkage of the desmene, and added a few lands to the crown, such as Bourges (purchased from its viscount so the latter could go on Crusade), as well as a small amount of Angevin lands in return for recognizing a count of Anjou.
The four decades of Philip II Augustus' rule (1180-1223) saw the emergence of a unitary, somewhat self-conscious France.
Philip had miscalculated--passing all of the lands as an indissoluble unit strengthened the Angevin Empire's realness, and Richard was no ordinary king.
