Being too far away from OTL's Mongol conquests, French history took a while to divert significantly. From 1209-29, France fought and eradicated the sect of the Albigensians, acquiring Toulouse for the king. At the same time around they had to fight the Angevine Empire; although France was initially weaker, the former ended with the Battle of Bouvines in 1214. This victory helped Philippe Augustus to make France a hereditary monarchy in 1226. Later in 1259 England lost all possessions in France but Guyenne.

  • Being too far away from OTL's Mongol conquests, French history took a while to divert significantly. From 1209-29, France fought and eradicated the sect of the Albigensians, acquiring Toulouse for the king.

This victory helped Philippe Augustus to make France a hereditary monarchy in 1226. Later in 1259 England lost all possessions in France but Guyenne. Louis IX was a very pious ruler; in 1263, he planned a crusade as retail for the lost cities in Palestine, but his brother Charles of Anjou was busy in Italy, so it was postponed. In 1270 finally, the Seventh Crusade happened. France attacked Tunis (which was wanted by Charles too), without success. In 1276, Philippe III of France fought Castille for reasons of succession, without success. In 1296, the Auld Alliance between France and Scotland was made. In the north, France had tried to get Flanders under its control. But in 1302, Flemish citizens massacred French occupation troops, and defeated them in the battle of Kortrijk. The fights went on, until Flanders and France made peace in 1312; Flanders ceded its French-speaking parts. In 1303, Philippe the Fair was excommunicated by the pope. In the same year however, Pope Boniface VIII was seized by the French. In the following decades, the (mostly French) popes would reign from Avignon, which was chosen as the new residence in 1309. 1306, the Jews were kicked out of France - the state was almost broke, and the king wanted to take their money. For the same reason, the Knights Templar were accused for heresy in 1307 and again in 1311/12, which ended with their destruction.
