Battles led
- 1194 Battle of Fréteval Defeat
On July 3, 1194, Philip II Augustus marched towards Vendôme when Richard the Lionheart, released a few months earlier, arrived from Chinon with a light cavalry of Brabançons and Poitevin knights. Overtaken at Fréteval, the Capetian host is jostled; Philip briefly organized a line of battle before ordering a retreat, abandoning his chariots, his treasure and almost all of the royal archives.
- 1198 Battle of Gisors Defeat
On September 27, 1198, Philip II Augustus attempted to cut an Anglo-Norman column near Courcelles-lès-Gisors. Richard the Lionheart, warned, concentrated his cavalry and charged before the French occupied the Epte bridge. The Capetian banners are overturned; the king of France is thrown into the river with several knights and owes his salvation only to his light chain mail.
- 1214 Battle of Bouvines Victory
On July 27, 1214, Philip II Augustus confronted the coalition army of Otto IV near Bouvines, strong of Flemings, Brabançons and English knights. The battle begins with the attack of the imperial left wing on the French communal militias; after fierce fighting, the counter-charge of the Capetian chivalry pushed the imperial center. Otto IV fled, while Ferrand of Flanders, Renaud of Boulogne and William Longsword were captured, sealing the Capetian victory.
