Philip III

Took the throne on crusade after his father's death in Tunis and brought the army home. Known as Philip the Bold, he was reportedly anything but: a pious, retiring man dominated first by his uncle Charles of Anjou and then by his unscrupulous chamberlain Pierre de la Brosse. His ill-judged Aragonese Crusade ended in catastrophic failure and his own death from fever during the retreat across the Pyrenees.
