The man, the longhaired legend who fortified Paris, the first of the Capets to exercise royal prerogative. I must know more.
There isn't much in English. So unless you read French, your best hope is The Government of Philip Augustus (U Calif, 1991) by John Baldwin. Baldwin was responsible for a huge transcription and publishing project of Philip's materials in the 1970s out of which came this book. Despite the title it's not a book about government - it's about Philip and the development of Capetian power during his life. It's the standard reference for Anglo and non-Anglo scholars while being high readable.
