AGNES OF MERAN (d. 1201)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 378 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AGNES OF MERAN (d. 1201) , queen of France, was the daughter of Bertold IV., duke of
Meran
  in
Tirol
 . She is called Marie by some of the chroniclers. In June 1196 she married Philip II., king of France,. who had repudiated
Ingeborg
  of Denmark in 1193. The
pope
  espoused the cause of
Ingeborg
 ; but Philip did not submit until 1200, when, interdict having been added to
excommunication
 , he consented to a separation from Agnes. She died in July of the next year, at the castle of Poissy, and was buried in the
church
  of St Corentin, near Nantes. Her two children by Philip II., Philip,
count
  of Clermont (d. 1234), and
Mary
 , who married Philip,
count
  of Namur, were legitimized by Innocent III. in 1201 on the demand of the king. Little is known of the personality of Agnes, beyond the remarkable influence which she exercised over Philip II. She has been made the heroine of a tragedy by Francois Ponsard, Agnes de Meranie.
See the notes of Robert Davidsohn in Philipp. II. August von Frankreich and Ingeborg (
Stuttgart
 , 1888). A genealogical notice is furnished by the Chronicon of the monk Alberic (Aubry) of Trois-Fontaines, (Albericus Trium Fontium) in Pertz, Scriptores, vol. xxiii. pp. 872 f., and by the Genealogia Wettinensis, ibid. p. 229.
