Philip III
(30 April 1245 – 5 October 1285), called the Bold was a Capetian King of France who reigned from 1270 to 1285.
Philip proved indecisive, soft in nature, and timid. The strong personalities of his parents apparently crushed him, and policies of his father dominated him. People called him "the Bold" on the basis of his abilities in combat and on horseback and not on the basis of his political or personal character. He was pious but not cultivated. He followed the suggestions of others, first of Pierre de La Broceand then of his uncle King Charles I of Naples, Sicily, and Albania.
