PHILIP I

Philip I (Philip the Amorous) was a king of France. He was born in 1052 and died in 1108. He began to reign in 1060. After William The Conqueror became king of England, the two kings quarrelled over Maine. In 1094 he was excommunicated for having married the wife of the Count of Anjou, while his first wife was still alive. During his reign he annexed Vexin and Valois, purchased Bourges and gave Vermandois to his brother Hugh.
