Note 32 — Chapter XVII · FRANCE UNDER PHILIP AUGUSTUS AND ST. LOUIS (1180–1270)[32]

Delisle’s Catalogue des Actes de Philippe Auguste and Hutton’s Philip Augustus cover the early part of this period. For the fall of John, see Bémont’s Condamnation de Jean Sans Terre, in Revue Historique, xxxii., 33-74, 290-311. For the Albigensian Crusade, see Peyrat’s Histoire des Albigeois, and Douai’s Les Albigeois, and Lea’s History of the Inquisition in the Middle Ages. For the reign of Louis VIII., the best work is Petit-Dutaillis’ Règne de Louis VIII., in the Bibliothèque de l’école des hautes Études. For St. Louis, Wallon’s Histoire de Saint Louis is a useful but not an original summary. Joinville’s contemporary Vie de Saint Louis should above all be studied. Boutaric’s Saint Louis et Alfonse de Poitiers, the essay in vol. vii. of the Nouvelle histoire de Languedoc, and Sternfeld’s Karl von Anjou als Graf von Provence show well the process of the Southward expansion of France. For Louis’ relations to the Papacy consult Berger’s Saint-Louis et Innocent IV. See also Lecoy de la Marche’s Saint Louis sa famille et sa cour in Revue des questions historiques, t. xxiv., and Beugnot’s Essai sur les constitutions de Saint Louis. Ch. V. Langlois’ Règne de Philippe le Hardi gives an admirable summary of the state of France as it was left at St. Louis’ death.
