| Summary: | Philip the Fair is primogenitus of France from 1276 to 1285. His first diplomatic activities are alongside his father, at the beginning of the 1280s : he participates, with other members of the royal family, in meetings with Peter III of Aragon. Privileged recipient of letters from the Infante Alfonso of Aragon, he seems to be part of a diplomacy of primogeniti. Until August 1285 his diplomatic activities are strongly linked to those of his younger brother, Charles of Valois: the documents recorded in the Archives of the Kingdom of Aragon generally mention them in pairs. His chivalry and his wedding, at the Assumption 1285, in full preparation for the expedition of the “Crusade of Aragon”, made him change in stature. Having become king of Navarre, the heir to the kingdom of France helps finance the expedition through the fiefdom fees that the vassals of Philip III have to pay. During the conflict, while Philip the Fair takes an active part in the fights, he maintains channels of communication with Peter. Catalan chroniclers describe him as the representative of the Aragonese party in France, emphasizing the opposition of the primogenitus to his father, which cannot be validated by the analysis of his diplomatic activities. |
