[edit] Sorbonne

The Sorbonne was founded in 1257, so how could he have given it a charter in 1200? olivier 11:32 3 Jun 2003 (UTC)

It was not the Sorbonne, but the Université de Paris. The Sorbonne was founded in 1257 as one of the colleges of the Université de Paris. It then became the name of this university (today, of three parisian universities).

[edit] Picture

Can someone provide a picture of the king?

There is no authentic image of Philip Augustus. The first king of France whose features were accurately carved in stone was Saint-Louis, the grandson of Philip Augustus. There exist no accurate images of any king of France before Saint-Louis. Hardouin 02:08, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of the Wines

I added a reference to the famous Battle of the Wines that Philip commissioned (or rather the poem written about it.) I placed it in the later years since it was right before his death that the tasting happened. However, I don't think it quite flows in the section but I was hestitant to reword the section due to my overall lack of familarity with Philip. If any of the article's editors know of a better way to fit it in, they by all means. Thanks! Agne27 00:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Are we going to mention Philip's gay fetishes?

Well are we? -Augustulus

I guess not. But he's the funniest of the bunch! Augustulus 00:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
