Louis VII (called the Younger or the Young)

(French: Louis le Jeune) (1120 ·Äì 18 September 1180) was King of the Franks from 1137 until his death. He was the son and successor of King Louis VI of France, hence his nickname, and married Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in western Europe. Eleanor came with the vast Duchy of Aquitaine as a dowry for Louis, thus temporarily extending the Capetian lands to the Pyrenees, but their marriage was annulled in 1152 after no male heir was produced.

Immediately after the annulment of her marriage, Eleanor married Henry Plantagenet, Duke of Normandy and Count of Anjou, to whom she conveyed Aquitaine. When Henry became King of England in 1154, as Henry II, he ruled over a large empire that spanned from Scotland to the Pyrenees. Henry's efforts to preserve and expand on this patrimony for the Crown of England would mark the beginning of the long rivalry between France and England.

Louis VII's reign saw the founding of the University of Paris and the disastrous Second Crusade. Louis and his famous counselor, Abbot Suger, pushed for a greater centralization of the state and favoured the development of French Gothic architecture, notably the construction of Notre-Dame de Paris.
He died in 1180 and was succeeded by his son Philip II.

Louis' children by his three marriages:

with Eleanor of Aquitaine:
1 Marie (1145 ·Äì 11 March 1198), married Henry I of Champagne
2 Alix (1151·Äì1197/1198), married Theobald V of Blois[8]

with Constance of Castile:
1 Margaret (1158 ဓ August/September 1197), married (1) Henry the Young King; (2) King Béla III of Hungary
2 Alys (4 October 1160 ·Äì ca. 1220), engaged to Richard I of England; she married William IV, Count of Ponthieu

with Adele of Champagne:
1 Philip II Augustus (22 August 1165 ·Äì 1223)
2 Agnes (1171 ·Äì after 1204), married 1) Alexius II Comnenus (1180·Äì1183), 2) Andronicus I Comnenus (1183·Äì1185), then 3) Theodore Branas (1204)

3.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  MARGUERITE de France ([1157]-Acre shortly after 10 Sep 1197).¬â€  Robert of Torigny records arrangements for the betrothal in 1158 of "filium suum [Henrici regis] Henricum" and "filiam regis Francorum Margaritam"[456].¬â€  Ralph de Diceto¬¥s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1158 that ·Äú...archdiaconus Cantuarensis...Thomas regis Cancellarius·Äù arranged the betrothal of ·ÄúHenricus primogenitus regis Anglorum·Äù and ·ÄúMargaritam filiam regis Francorum·Äù, in a later passage recording the marriage of ·Äúfilium regis Anglorum septennum·Äù and ·Äúfiliam regis Francorum triennem·Äù[457].¬â€  Robert of Torigny records the betrothal "apud Novum Burgum" in 1160 of "Henrico filio Henrici regis Anglorum" and "Margarita filia Ludovici regis Francorum"[458].¬â€  Ctss de Vexin, with the Ch√¢teau de Gisors, as her dowry.¬â€  Ralph de Diceto¬¥s Ymagines Historiarum record in 1160 that ·ÄúHenricus rex Angli√¶·Äù arranged the betrothal of ·ÄúMargaritam filiam regis Francorum·Äù, who was living in his household, to ·ÄúHenrico filio suo·Äù with ·Äúcastellum de Gisors·Äù as dowry, it being agreed that she would be cared for by the Knights Templar until the marriage took place[459].¬â€  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "reginam Margaretam Anglie et comitissam Aaliz" as childen of King Louis VII & his second wife[460].¬â€  Ralph de Diceto¬¥s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1172 that ·ÄúRotro Rothomagensis archiepiscopus·Äù consecrated ·ÄúMargaritam filiam regis Francorum·Äù as ·Äúreginam Angli√¶·Äù[461].¬â€  Matthew Paris records her coronation as queen 27 Aug 1172 at Winchester Abbey[462].¬â€  A genealogy written by Vilhelm Abbot of √Übelholt records that ·ÄúIngeburgis (matris Waldemari regis) soror, filia Izizlaui regis alia·Äù married ·Äúregi Hungarie·Äù, by whom she had ·ÄúBela modernum regem Hungarie·Äù who married ·Äúsororem regis Francie·Äù[463].¬â€  Ralph de Diceto¬¥s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1186 that ·ÄúMargarita soror regis Francorum·Äù married ·ÄúBela regi Hungari√¶·Äù[464].¬â€  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Margareta soror regis Philippi" as widow of "iunior Henricus rex Anglorum" and records her second marriage to "Hungarorum regi Bela"[465].¬â€  Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by a charter dated 1194/95, reciting the consanguinity between Philippe II King of France and his second wife Ingebjörg of Denmark on which their divorce was based, which records that ·ÄúBel√¶ Regis Hungari√¶·Äù married ·Äúsororem Philippi Regis Francorum·Äù[466].¬â€  Her father-in-law arranged her second marriage so he could retain her dowry.¬â€  She left for Palestine after being widowed for the second time.¬â€  The Chronicle of Ernoul records the arrival of "une reine en Hongrie·Ä¶veve sans hoir" at Tyre [in 1197] and her death eight days later, specifying that she was the sister of the mother of Henri Comte de Champagne King of Jerusalem and had been "feme·Ä¶le jouene roi d'Englietere·Ä¶et suer·Ä¶le roi Phelippe de France"[467].¬â€  m firstly (contract Neubourg, Eure 1160, 21 Aug or 2 Nov 1172) HENRY of England, son of HENRY II King of England & his wife El√©onore d·ÄôAquitaine (Bermondsey Palace 28 Feb 1155-Ch√¢teau de Martel, Turenne 11 Jun 1183, bur Le Mans Cathedral, Anjou, later transferred to Rouen Cathedral).¬â€  He was crowned King of England in his father·Äôs lifetime 14 Jun 1170 at Westminster Abbey, being styled Duke of Normandy, Comte d'Anjou et du Maine.¬â€  After this he was known as ·Äúthe Young King·Äù.¬â€  He was crowned again 27 Aug 1172 at Winchester Cathedral.¬â€  m secondly ([1185/86]) as his second wife, B√âLA III King of Hungary, son of G√âZA II King of Hungary & his wife Ievfrosina Mstislavna of Kiev (1149-23 Apr 1196, bur Sz√©kesfehervar, transferred to Coronation Church Budapest).¬â€ 
4.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  ALIX [Adelaide] de France ([4 Oct] 1160-after Jan 1213).¬â€  Robert of Torigny records the death in 1160 of "Constantia regina Franci√¶" while giving birth to a daughter[468].¬â€  Ralph de Diceto¬¥s Ymagines Historiarum record in 1160 that ·Äúregina Francorum filia Athelfunsi imperatoris Hispaniarum·Äù died while giving birth to a daughter who survived (·Äúincolumi filia·Äù)[469].¬â€  The Chronicle of Ralph of Coggeshall records that King Louis VII had "aliam filiam de Constantia·Ä¶Adelaidis", her mother dying while giving birth to her[470].¬â€  The Historia Gloriosi Regis Ludovici VII records that the king had "unam filiam de Constantia regina·Ä¶Adelaidis", stating that her mother died in giving birth[471].¬â€  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "reginam Margaretam Anglie et comitissam Aaliz" as childen of King Louis VII & his second wife, specifying that Alix married "Guilelmus comes de Pontivo"[472].¬â€  The De Rebus Hispani√¶ of Rodericus Ximenes names "Adelodis" as the daughter of "Ludovico Regi Francorum" and his wife "Elisabeth" (error for Constantia), specifying that she married "Comitis de Pontivo"[473].¬â€  There is some confusion between this daughter and King Louis VII's supposed daughter Alix by his third wife (see below).¬â€  Roger of Hoveden records that the betrothal of King Louis's daughter to Richard of England was first proposed in 1161, when Richard's older brother Henry was betrothed to her sister Marguerite[474].¬â€  Chronologically, this can only refer to the king's daughter by his second marriage.¬â€  This appears to be confirmed by the Chronicle of Gervase which records the betrothal in 1169 of "Ricardus·Ä¶filius regis Angl√¶" and "filiam regis Franci√¶ quam habuit de filia regis Hispanorum"[475].¬â€  Ctss de Bourges 1174, as her dowry.¬â€  Benedict of Peterborough records the betrothal "XI Kal Oct 1177" of "rex Anglie·Ä¶Ricardus comes Pictavi√¶ filius eius" and "regi Franci√¶·Ä¶filiam" as part of the peace agreement between the two kings[476].¬â€  It is assumed that this refers to the same daughter, although the primary source which confirms this beyond doubt has not yet been identified.¬â€  If this is correct, she was presumably the same daughter who later married the Comte de Ponthieu.¬â€  Until further information comes to light, it is assumed that Alix/Adelaide who was betrothed to Richard, and who later married the Comte de Ponthieu, was the daughter who was born in 1160, and that King Louis had no daughter of this name by his third marriage.¬â€  Alix was brought up in England after her betrothal.¬â€  Benedict of Peterborough records that the betrothal of "Alesia soror eius [Philippi regis Franci√¶]" and Richard was renewed in 1189, commenting that the king of England "in custodia habet"[477].¬â€  Richard refused the marriage after his accession to the throne.¬â€  Kerrebrouck states that King Richard arranged her betrothal to his younger brother John in early 1193[478], but the primary source which confirms this information has not been identified.¬â€  She returned to France in Aug 1195.¬â€  Ctss d'Eu, Dame d·ÄôArques in 1195, as her dowry for her marriage.¬â€  "Willelmus comes Pontivi" granted rights to the commune of Marquienneterre, with the consent of "uxoris mee Aalidis filie Ludovici regis Francie", by charter dated 1199[479].¬â€  "Willelmus comes Pontivi et Monstreoli" donated property to the church of Saint Giosse, with the consent of "Marie filie mee et Aelis uxoris mee", by charter dated 1205[480].¬â€  "Willelmus comes Pontivi et Monstreoli·Ä¶et Aalais uxor mea comitissa Pontivi et Maria filia mea" granted concessions by charter dated 1207[481].¬â€  "Willelmus comes Pontivi et Monstreoli" granted rights to one of his vassals, with the consent of "Aalis, uxoris mee Ludovici regis filie et Marie filie mee", by charter dated Aug 1208[482].¬â€  "Willelmus comes Pontivi et Monstreoli" granted rights to the commune of Maioc, with the consent of "Aalis, uxoris mee et Symonis de Bolonia, generis mei, et Marie filie mee, uxoris eius", by charter dated 1209[483].¬â€  "Willelmus comes Pontivi et Monstreoli" granted rights to the nuns of Moreaucourt, for his soul and that of "Aelidis, uxoris mee, filie Ludovici regis Francie", by charter dated Dec 1209[484].¬â€  "Willaume comte de Pontieu et de Montreuil" agreed a concession made by one of his vassals, with the consent of "Aalis sa femme et de Marie leur fille" by charter dated Nov 1211[485].¬â€  A charter dated Jan 1213 (New Style) confirms a grant of rights to the church of Sainte-Marie at Clairvaux by "Willelmus·Ä¶Pontivi et Monstreoli comes et Aalis, uxor eius, filia pii regis Ludovici" agreed a concession made by one of his vassals, with the consent of "Aalis sa femme et de Marie leur fille"[486].¬â€  Betrothed (by peace treaty 30 Sep 1174, betrothed 21 Sep 1177) to RICHARD of England, son of HENRY II King of England & El√©onore Dss d'Aquitaine (Beaumont Palace, Oxford 8 Sep 1157-Chalus 6 Apr 1199, bur Fontevrault Abbey).¬â€  He succeeded his father in 1189 as RICHARD I " C≈ìur-de-lion " King of England.¬â€  Betrothed (early 1193) to JOHN of England, son of HENRY II King of England & his wife El√©onore Dss d'Aquitaine (Beaumont Palace, Oxford 24 Dec 1166 or 1167-Newark Castle, Lincolnshire 18/19 Oct 1216, bur Worcester Cathedral).¬â€  This betrothal appears to have taken place despite the fact that John was already married to his first wife at the time.¬â€  He succeeded his brother in 1199 as JOHN King of England.¬â€  m (contract Mantes, Yvelines 20 Aug 1195) GUILLAUME [II] ·ÄúTalvas·Äù Comte de Ponthieu et de Montreuil, son of JEAN [I] Comte de Ponthieu & his third wife B√©atrix de Saint-Pol (after 1178-6 Oct 1221, bur Abbaye de Valloires, Somme).¬â€ 
King Louis VII & his third wife had three children:
5.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  PHILIPPE de France (Ch√¢teau de Gonesse, Val d·ÄôOise 21 Aug 1165-Mantes, Yvelines 14 Jul 1223, bur √©glise de l'Abbaye royale de Saint-Denis).¬â€  William of Tyre names him and records his parentage, specifying that he was his father's only son[487].¬â€  He was consecrated associate-king 1 Nov 1179, at the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Reims.¬â€  He succeeded his father in 1180 as PHILIPPE II ·ÄúAuguste·Äù King of France.¬â€

6.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  [ALIX de France ([1168/70]-).¬â€  According to Kerrebrouck[488], the daughter of King Louis VII who was betrothed to Richard of England and later married to Guillaume Comte de Ponthieu was the king's daughter by his third marriage born "vers 1170".¬â€  As demonstrated above, from a chronological point of view the daughter whose betrothal to Richard was first discussed in 1161 could only have been the younger daughter of the king's second marriage.¬â€  The sources cited above appear to indicate that this is the same daughter whose betrothal was later confirmed, and who later married the Comte de Ponthieu.¬â€  No primary source has so far been identified which confirms that she was the king's daughter by his third marriage.¬â€  Until further information comes to light, it is assumed that Alix/Adelaide was the daughter who was born in 1160, and that King Louis had no daughter of this name by his third marriage.¬â€  Since writing this paragraph, a book by Sommerard has been consulted which refers to the birth of the king¬¥s daughter Alix, born to his third wife in 1168, whom he identifies as the betrothed of Richard of England, but he cites no corresponding primary source[489].]¬â€ 
7.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  AGNES de France ([1171/72]-[1220 or after 1240]).¬â€  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the daughter of King Louis VII & his third wife as "imperatricem Grecorum quam duxit Alexius filius Manuelis"[490].¬â€  Her birth is dated to 1171 by Sommerard, but he cites no corresponding primary source[491].¬â€  According to Niketas Choniates, she was 11 years old at the time of her second marriage (see below), which would place her birth in [1172].¬â€  William of Tyre records the marriage "in palatio domini Constantini senioris·Ä¶Trullus" of "Manuele Constantinopoleos imperatore·Ä¶filio·Ä¶impuberi vix annorum tredecim Alexio" and "Francorum regis domini Ludovici filiam vix annorum octo Agnetem", dated to 1180 from the context[492].¬â€  Pope Alexander III wrote to Henri de France Archbishop of Reims, dated "XI Kal Mar" in 1171 or 1172, suggesting that "Ludovicus·Ä¶Francorum Rex" betrothe "suam·Ä¶filiam" to "filio Imperatoris Constantinopolitani" instead of what the Pope had heard was the proposal for a marriage to "filio persecutoris ecclesi√¶" (assumed to be a reference to Emperor Friedrich I)[493].¬â€  Bearing in mind that Agnes had only recently been born, Sommerard suggests that the document (which does not name the daughter in question) may have related either to "Alix, qui avait trois ans" or not to any specific daughter[494].¬â€  The idea of the Byzantine marriage prospered as the Chronicle of Ernoul records that "l¬¥emper√©rour Manuel" asked Philippe Count of Flanders, who had stopped in Constantinople on his return journey to Flanders, whether "li rois Loeis de France avoit nulle fille à marier" and proposed her betrothal "petite·Ä¶et jouene" to "son fil·Ä¶jouenes enfes", requesting the count to take the proposal to the French king[495].¬â€  Benedict of Peterborough records that "Lodovicus rex Francorum Agnetem filiam suam quam Ala regina Francorum·Ä¶peperat" was sent to Constantinople in 1179 to marry "Alexio filio Manuelis imperatoris Constantinopolis"[496].¬â€  Ralph de Diceto¬¥s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1179 that ·ÄúAgnes filia Ludovici regis Francorum·Äù married ·ÄúAlexio Manuelis imperatoris filio·Äù[497].¬â€  Benedict of Peterborough records the death of her first husband and her second marriage to his successor[498].¬â€  She adopted the name ANNA on her first marriage.¬â€  Niketas Choniates records that Andronikos married "Annam imperatoris Alexii sponsam, regis Francorum filiam", stating that she was only eleven years old[499].¬â€  Her third marriage is deduced from Villehardouin naming "Theodore Branas, a Greek who was married to the king of France's sister" when recording that Apros was restored to him in 1205[500].¬â€  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that in 1193 "Livernas·Ä¶prenominatus" lived with "sororem regis Francorum, imperatricem illam, quam habere debuit Alexius Manuelis filius" without marrying her, and in a later passage in 1205 that "Livernas", who had lived with "sororem regis Francorum, imperatricem·Ä¶absque legalibus nuptiis", married her and married their daughter to "Nargaldo de Torceio, Guidonis de Dampetra consobrino"[501].¬â€  Robert de Clari records in Sep 1203 that "le sereur le roi de Franche" was alive and married to "li Vernas"[502].¬â€  The text also provides a clue to Alberic¬¥s reference to "Livernas", indicating that it was the old French definite article combined with a corruption of the name "Branas".¬â€  No primary source has yet been identified which records when Agnes died.¬â€  According to Sommerard, she died in 1220, after the marriage of her daughter[503].¬â€  Kerrebrouck states that she died in 1240[504].¬â€  Neither of these authors cites the primary sources on which they base their statements.¬â€  m firstly (Constantinople [2 Mar] 1180) ALEXIOS Komnenos, son of Emperor MANUEL I & his second wife Marie of Antioch (Constantinople 10 Sep 1169-murdered 24 Sep 1183).¬â€  He succeeded his father 24 Sep 1180 as Emperor ALEXIOS II.¬â€  m secondly (1184) as his second wife, Emperor ANDRONIKOS I, son of ISAAKIOS Komnenos s√©bastokrator & his wife Eirene --- ([1123/24]-murdered Constantinople 12 Sep 1185).¬â€  m thirdly (1204) THEODOROS Branas Duke of Adrianople, son of ALEXIOS Branas Komnenos pans√©bastos & his wife Anna Komnena Vatatzina.
King Louis VII had [one possible illegitimate son by Mistress (1)]:
8.¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€ ¬â€  [PHILIPPE de France (-[1161]).¬â€  Kerrebrouck names him as illegitimate son of King Louis but does not cite the primary source on which this is based[505].¬â€  Doyen of Saint-Martin at Tours.¬â€  Sainte-Marthe says that ·ÄúPhilippes bastard de France, doyen de l·Äô√©glise de Saint Martin de Tours·Äù died before his father, adding that ·Äúaucuns estiment qu·Äôil fut esleu et nomm√© Archevesque de Tours contre Engelbaud·Äù and ·Äúque c·Äôest luy auquel S. Bernard addresse son Epistre cent cinquante uniesme·Äù[506]. P√®re Anselme says that ·Äúon attribue au roy Louis le Jeune un fils naturel nomm√© Philippe, doyen de S. Martin de Tours, mort avant son p√®re·Äù, adding that ·Äúon pr√©tend que c·Äôest à lui à qui saint Bernard adresse sa lettre 151·Äù[507].¬â€  Anselme provides no information about the identity of ·Äúon·Äù and his phrasing suggests little confidence in the accuracy of the attribution.]
