Synopsis

This text sets out to do justice to Philip (II) Augustus as a man and a king and to redress the balance of assessment in relation to his contemporaries. The conclusions that emerge from the text provide a picture of a very high intelligence, a remarkable capacity to assess realistically the situations he faced and a determination to succeed which frequently crossed over the boundary into ruthlessness.
