Editing Philip III of France (section)

==Reign==
Philip maintained most of his father's domestic policies.{{sfn|Fawtier|1989|p=34}} This included the royal ordinances passed against seigneurial warfare by his father in 1258, which he reinforced by passing his own ordinance in October 1274.{{sfn|Firnhaber-Baker|2014|p=185}} Philip followed in his father's footsteps concerning Jews in France,{{sfn|Stow|2006|p=95}} claiming piety as his motivation.{{sfn|Chazan|1980|p=185}} Upon his return to Paris 23 September 1271, Philip reenacted his father's order that Jews wear badges.{{sfn|Chazan|2019|p=155}} His charter in 1283 banned the construction and repair of [[synagogue]]s and Jewish cemeteries,{{sfn|Chazan|1980|p=186}} banned Jews from employing Christians, and sought to restrain Jewish ''strepiti'' (chanting too loudly{{sfn|Chazan|2019|p=169}}).{{sfn|Stow|2006|p=94}}

On 21 August 1271, Philip's uncle, [[Alphonse, Count of Poitiers]] and Toulouse, died childless in Savona.{{sfn|Biller|Bruschi|Sneddon|2011|p=42}} Philip inherited Alphonse's lands and united them with the [[Crown lands of France|royal domain]]. This inheritance included a portion of Auvergne, later the [[Duchy of Auvergne]] and the [[Agenais]]. In accordance with the wishes of Alphonse, Philip granted the [[Comtat Venaissin]] to [[Pope Gregory X]] in 1274.{{sfn|Sivery|2003|p=106}} Several years later the Treaty of Amiens (1279) with King [[Edward I]] restored Agenais to the English.{{sfn|Sivery|2003|p=106}}

On 19 September 1271, Philip commanded the Seneschal of Toulouse to record oaths of loyalty from nobles and town councils.{{sfn|Biller|Bruschi|Sneddon|2011|p=42}} The following year, [[Roger-Bernard III, Count of Foix]], invaded the County of Toulouse, killed several royal officials,{{sfn|Biller|Bruschi|Sneddon|2011|p=42}} and captured the town of Sombuy.{{sfn|Sibley|Sibley|2003|p=123}} Philip's royal seneschal, Eustache de Beaumarchès, led a counter-attack into the [[County of Foix]], until ordered by Philip to withdraw.{{sfn|Biller|Bruschi|Sneddon|2011|p=42}} Philip and his army arrived at [[Toulouse]] on 25 May 1272,{{sfn|Biller|Bruschi|Sneddon|2011|p=42}} and on 1 June at Boulbonne met James I of Aragon, who attempted to mediate the issue, but this was rejected by Roger-Bernard.{{sfn|Sibley|Sibley|2003|p=123}} Philip then proceeded on a campaign to devastate and depopulate the County of Foix.{{sfn|Biller|Bruschi|Sneddon|2011|pp=42&ndash;43}} By 5 June Roger-Bernard had surrendered, was incarcerated at [[Carcassonne]],{{sfn|Sibley|Sibley|2003|p=123}} and placed in chains.{{sfn|Biller|Bruschi|Sneddon|2011|pp=42&ndash;43}} Philip imprisoned him for a year, but then freed him and restored his lands.{{sfn|Sibley|Sibley|2003|p=6}}
