ALPHONSE, COUNT OF TOULOUSE AND OF POITIERS (I220-1271)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 733 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ALPHONSE, COUNT OF TOULOUSE AND OF POITIERS (I220-1271) , the son of Louis VIII., king of France, and brother of St Louis, was born on the 11th of November 1220. He joined the county of Toulouse to his appanage of Poitou and Auvergne, on the death, in September 1249, of
Raymond
  VII., whose daughter Jeanne he had married in 1237. He took the
cross
  with his brother, St Louis, in 1248 and in 1270. In 1252, on the death of his mother, Blanche of Castile, he was
joint
  regent with Charles of Anjou until the return of Louis IX., and took a
great
  part in the negotiations which led to the treaties of Abbeville and of Paris (1258-1259). His main
work
  was on his own estates. There he repaired the evils of the Albigensian war and made a first attempt at administrative centralization, thus preparing the way for
union
  with the crown. The charter known as " Alphonsine," granted to the town of Riom, became the code of public law for Auvergne. Honest and moderate, protecting the middle classes against exactions of the nobles, he exercised a happy influence upon the
south
 , in spite of his naturally despotic character and his continual and pressing need of money. He died without heirs on his return from the 8th crusade, in Italy, probably at
Savona
 , on the 21st of August 1271.
