Ascension to the throne
In 1328, King Charles IV died without a direct male descendant; however, at the time of his death his wife was pregnant. Charles IV (18/ 19 June 1294 – 1 February 1328) was the King of France and of Navarre (as Charles I) and Philip was one of the two chief claimants to the throne along with the demands of Dowager Queen Isabella of England, the late King Charles' sister, who claimed the French throne for her young son King Edward III of England. Isabella of France (c 1295 &ndash August 22, 1358) known as the She-Wolf of France, was the Queen consort of Edward II of Edward III (13 November 1312 &ndash 21 June 1377 was one of the most successful English monarchs of the Middle Ages. Philip rose to the regency with support of French magnates, following the pattern set up by Philip V's succession over his niece Joan II of Navarre, and Charles IV's succession over all his nieces, including daughters of Philip V. Joan II of Navarre ( January 28, 1312 &ndash October 6, 1349) was Queen of Navarre 1328&ndash1349 A century later this pattern became the Salic law, which forbade females and those descended in the female line from succeeding to the throne. Salic law ( Lat Lex Salica) was an important body of traditional Law codified for governing the Salian Franks in the Early Middle Ages After Charles' queen, Jeanne d'Évreux, gave birth to a girl, Philip was crowned as King on May 29, 1328[2] at the Cathedral in Reims. Jeanne d'Évreux ( 1310 - 4 March 1371) was the third wife of King Charles IV of France, daughter of his uncle Louis d'Évreux. Events 363 - Roman Emperor Julian defeats the Sassanid army in the Battle of Ctesiphon, under the walls of the Notre-Dame de Reims ( Our Lady of Rheims) is the Cathedral of Reims, where the kings of France were once crowned Philip VI, though a descendant of Garcia VI of Navarre, was not an heir nor a descendant of Joan I of Navarre, whose inheritance (the kingdom of Navarre, as well as the counties of Champagne, Troyes, Meaux and Brie) had been in personal union with the crown of France almost fifty years and had long been administered by the same royal machinery (established by Philip IV, the father of French bureaucracy), which administrative resource was inherited by Philip VI. García Ramírez, sometimes García IV, V, VI or VII (died 21 November 1150, Lorca) called the Restorer Joan I de Navarre, also known as Joanna or Joan of Navarre (c Champagne is a historic province in the northeast of France, best known for the production of the sparkling white wine that bears the region's name Troyes (tʁwa is a commune, the préfecture (capital of the northeastern Aube département in France and is Meaux is a commune of Seine-et-Marne, in the metropolitan area of Paris, France. These counties were closely entrenched in the economic and administrative entity of the Royal Domain of France, being located adjacent to Ile-de-France. Île-de-France is one of the ancient Provinces of France, and the one that has been the centre of power during most of French history. Philip, however, was not entitled to that inheritance; the rightful heiress was Louis X's surviving daughter, the future Joan II of Navarre, the genealogically senior granddaughter of Joan I of Navarre. Louis X (October 1289 – 5 June 1316) called the Quarreller, the Headstrong, or the Stubborn (le Hutin el Obstinado was the Joan II of Navarre ( January 28, 1312 &ndash October 6, 1349) was Queen of Navarre 1328&ndash1349 Philip ceded Navarre to Joan II, but regarding the counties in Champagne, they struck a deal: Joan II received vast lands in Normandy (adjacent to her husband's fief in Evreux) in compensation, and Philip got to keep Champagne as part of the Royal Domain. Normandy (Normandie Norman: Normaundie) is a geographical region corresponding to the former Duchy of Normandy.
Reign
Philip's reign was punctuated with crises. It began with military success in Flanders at the Battle of Cassel (August 1328), where Philip's forces reseated Louis I of Flanders, who had been unseated by a popular revolution. Flanders (Vlaanderen Flandre Flandern is a geographical region located in parts of present day Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. The Battle of Cassel was fought on August 23, 1328 by Philip VI, the King of France, and first ruler of House of Valois (reigned 1328-1350 Louis I (1304 &ndash August 26, 1346, ruled 1322&ndash1346 was Count of Flanders, Nevers and Rethel. The able Jeanne gave the first of many demonstrations of her competence as regent in his absence.
Philip initially enjoyed relatively amicable relations with Edward III, and they planned a crusade together in 1332, which was never executed. However, the status of the Duchy of Aquitaine remained a sore point, and tension increased. The Duke of Aquitaine ( French: Duc d'Aquitaine) ruled the historical region of Aquitaine under the supremacy of the Frankish and later the Philip provided refuge for David II of Scotland in 1334 and declared himself champion of his interests, which enraged Edward. Daibhidh a Briuis ( Modern Gaelic: Dàibhidh Bruis) anglicised as David II ( 5 March 1324 &ndash 22 February By 1336, they were enemies, although not yet openly at war.
Philip successfully prevented an arrangement between the papacy in Avignon and Emperor Louis IV although, in July 1337, Louis concluded an alliance with Edward III. History See also History of the Papacy Catholics recognize the Pope as a successor to Saint Peter, who Jesus named as the "shepherd" and Avignon (/aviɲɔ̃/ in French) ( Provençal: Avinhon in classical norm or Avignoun in Mistralian norm is a commune Louis IV ( 1 April[[ 282]] &ndash 11 October 1347) called the Bavarian, of the house of Wittelsbach, was the Duke of Bavaria
The final breach with England came when Edward offered refuge to Robert III of Artois, formerly one of Philip's trusted advisers. Robert III of Artois (1287&ndash1342 Vannes) was the son of Philip of Artois and Blanche of Brittany However, after he committed forgery to try to obtain an inheritance, he barely escaped France with his life, and was hounded by Philip throughout Europe. Forgery is the process of making adapting or imitating objects statistics or documents (see False document) with the intent to deceive. Edward made him Earl of Richmond and honored him; in retaliation, Philip declared on May 24, 1337 that Edward had forfeited Aquitaine for rebellion and disobedience. The title of Earl of Richmond was created many times in the Peerage of England.

The opening stages of the war, accordingly, were largely successful for the French.
At sea, French privateers raided and burned towns and shipping all along the southern and southeastern coasts of England. The English made some retaliatory raids, including the burning of a fleet in the harbor of Boulogne-sur-Mer, but the French largely had the upper hand. Boulogne-sur-Mer ( Bonen in Dutch is a City in Northern France. With his sea power established, Philip gave orders in 1339 to prepare an invasion of England, and began assembling a fleet off the Zeeland coast at Sluys. Zeeland ( also called Zealand in English and Zeelandic, is a province of the Netherlands. Sluis ( is the name of both a Municipality and a Town located in the west of Zeelandic Flanders, in the south-western part of the Netherlands However, in June 1340, in the bitterly-fought Battle of Sluys ("l'Ecluse"), the English attacked the port and captured or destroyed the ships there, ending the threat of an invasion. The decisive naval Battle of Sluys (slœys in Dutch, but frequently anglicised as /slɔɪz/ was fought on 24 June 1340 as one of the opening
On land, Edward III largely concentrated upon Flanders and the Low Countries, where he had gained allies by diplomacy and bribery. Flanders (Vlaanderen Flandre Flandern is a geographical region located in parts of present day Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. The Low Countries, the historical region of de Nederlanden, are the countries on low-lying land around the delta of the Rhine, Scheldt A raid in 1339 (the first chevauchée) into Picardy ended ignominiously when Philip wisely refused to give battle. A chevauchée ( French for "promenade" or "horse charge" depending on context was a method in Medieval warfare for weakening the enemy Picardy (Picardie is an historical Province of France, in the north of France. Edward's slender finances would not permit him to play a waiting game, and he was forced to withdraw into Flanders and return to England to raise more money. In July 1340, Edward returned and besieged Tournai; again, Philip brought up a relieving army which harassed the besiegers but did not offer open battle, and Edward was again forced to return home, fleeing the Low Countries secretly to escape his creditors. Tournai (in Dutch Doornik, in Latin: Tornacum) is a Walloon City and municipality of Belgium
So far, the war had gone quite well for Philip and the French. While often stereotyped as chivalry-besotten blockheads, Philip and his men had in fact carried out a successful Fabian strategy against the debt-plagued Edward, and resisted the chivalric blandishments of single combat or a combat of two hundred knights that he offered. The Fabian strategy is a Military strategy where Pitched battles are avoided in favor of wearing down an opponent through a war of attrition. In 1341, the War of the Breton Succession allowed the English to place permanent garrisons in Brittany. The Breton War of Succession was a conflict between the Houses of Blois and Montfort for control of the Duchy of Brittany. Brittany (Breizh bʁejs Bretagne; Gallo: Bertaèyn) is a former independent Celtic kingdom and Duchy, now incorporated into However, Philip was still in a commanding position: during Papally-arbitrated negotiations in 1343, he refused Edward's offer to end the war in exchange for the Duchy of Aquitaine in full sovereignty. The Duke of Aquitaine ( French: Duc d'Aquitaine) ruled the historical region of Aquitaine under the supremacy of the Frankish and later the
The next attack came in 1345, when the Earl of Derby overran the Agenais (lost twenty years before in the War of Saint-Sardos) and took Angoulême, while the forces in Brittany under Sir Thomas Dagworth also made gains. Henry of Grosmont Duke of Lancaster ( c 1310 &ndash 23 March, 1361) also Earl of Derby and Leicester was a member of the English nobility in the Agenais, or Agenois, was a former province of France located in southwest France south of Périgord. The War of Saint-Sardos was a short war fought between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of France in 1324. Angoulême is a commune in western France, capital of the Charente department. Sir Thomas Dagworth (d 1352 was an English Knight and Soldier, who lead English armies in Brittany during the Hundred Years' War The French responded in the spring of 1346 with a massive counter-attack against Aquitaine, where an army under John, Duke of Normandy besieged Derby at Aiguillon. John II (16 April 1319 &ndash 8 April 1364 called John the Good (Jean le Bon was Count of Anjou, Count of Maine, and Duke of Normandy Aiguillon (or Auguillon is a commune in the Lot-et-Garonne department in southwestern France. On the advice of Godfrey Harcourt (like Robert III of Artois, a banished French nobleman), Edward sailed for Normandy instead of Aquitaine. Normandy (Normandie Norman: Normaundie) is a geographical region corresponding to the former Duchy of Normandy. As Harcourt predicted, the Normans were ill-prepared for war, and many of the fighting men were at Aiguillon. Edward sacked and burned the country as he went, taking Caen and advancing as far as Poissy before retreating before the army Philip hastily assembled at Paris. Caen (kɑ̃ is a commune in northwestern France. It is the Prefecture of the Calvados department and the capital of the Poissy is a commune in the western suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 23 Paris (ˈpærɨs in English; in French) is the Capital of France and the country's largest city Slipping across the Somme, Edward drew up to give battle at Crécy. The Somme is a department of France, located in the north of the country and named after the Somme river.
Close behind him, Philip had planned to halt for the night and reconnoiter the English position before giving battle the next day. However, his troops were disorderly and not to be handled: the roads were jammed by the rear of the army coming up, and by the local peasantry furiously calling for vengeance on the English. Finding them hopeless to control, he ordered a general attack as evening fell. Thus began the Battle of Crécy; and when it was done, the French army had been well-nigh annihilated, and Philip barely escaped capture. Fortune had turned against the French.
The English seized and held the advantage. Normandy called off the siege of Aiguillon and retreated northward, while Sir Thomas Dagworth captured Charles of Blois in Brittany. Charles of Blois ( Blois, 1319 &ndash September 29 1364) claimed the title Duke of Brittany, from 1341 to his death The English army pulled back from Crécy to besiege Calais; the town held out stubbornly, but the English were determined, and easily supplied across the English Channel. Calais (kaˈlɛ in English often kæˈleɪ traditional English pronunciation /ˈkælɨs/ Kales is a town in northern France. Philip led out a relieving army in July 1347, but unlike the siege of Tournai, it was now Edward who had the upper hand. With the plunder of his Norman expedition and the reforms of his tax system he had executed, he could hold to his siege lines and await an attack Philip dare not deliver. It was Philip who marched away in August, and the city capitulated shortly thereafter.
Final years
After the defeat at Crécy and loss of Calais, the Estates refused to raise money for Philip, halting his plans to counter-attack by invading England. In 1348, a new woe struck France: the Black Death, which in the next few years killed one-third of the population, including Queen Joan. The Black Death, or the Black Plague, was one of the deadliest Pandemics in human history widely thought to have been caused by a bacterium named Yersinia The resulting labor shortage caused inflation to soar, and the king attempted to fix prices, further de-stabilizing the country. His last major achievement was the purchase of the Dauphiné and the territory of Montpellier in the Languedoc, in 1349. The Dauphiné or Dauphiné Viennois is a former province in southeastern France, roughly corresponding to the present departments ' of the Montpellier ( Occitan Montpelhièr) is a City in the south of France. Languedoc ( in French Lengadòc in Occitan) is a former Province of France, now continued in the modern-day ''régions'' of Languedoc-Roussillon At his death in 1350, France was still very much a divided country filled with social unrest.
Marriages and Children
In July, 1313, Philip married Joan the Lame (French: Jeanne), daughter of Robert II, Duke of Burgundy, and princess Agnes of France, the youngest daughter of Louis IX. Jeanne de Bourgogne ( 24 June[[ 293]] – 12 September 1348) also known as Joan the Lame (Jeanne la Boiteuse or Joan of Burgundy Queen consort French ( français,) is a Romance language spoken around the world by 118 million people as a native language and by about 180 to 260 million people Robert II of Burgundy (1248 &ndash March 21 1306) was Duke of Burgundy between 1271 and 1306 inheriting the title from his brother Eudes of Burgundy In an ironic twist to his "male" ascendancy to the throne, the intelligent, strong-willed Joan, an able regent of France during the King's long military campaigns, was said to be the brains behind the throne and the real ruler of France.
