Historical background
AMIENS - PHILIP OF ALSACE
(1167-1183)
Philippe d'Alsace, count of Flanders (1168-1194) married Elisabeth de Vermandois (1167-1183) and shared the authority of the count. On the death of Elisabeth, her sister Éléonore, daughter of Raoul II (1152-1167), inherited the county with the support of Philippe II Auguste. Éléonore, to thank the king, bequeathed her county to him on her death, the year of the Battle of Bouvines (1214). The Vermandois was then attached to the kingdom.
