Document Summary
He followed this success with a new statute called quia emptores that prohibited subinfeudation all with the aim of limning the extent of baronial authority and privilege, just as magna carta had limned that of the throne. The capetians came to power if we can call it that in 987 as arguably the poorest and least significant monarchs in the west. Nearly two hundred years later, matters had improved quite a bit, the personal, political, and territorial setbacks of louis vii"s reign undercut much of what had been achieved. It was only under louis" son philip augustus (1180 1223) that france and her monarchy came to prominence. Philip himself was not a great or avid military leader. He far preferred diplomatic maneuvers and political intrigues to risky military solutions to a problem. Philip divided his expanded realm into administrative precincts and appointed to run them a group of professional administrators called baillis and seneschals.
