After Richard I was released from captivity in 1194, he immediately went to war against Philip II Augustus to reclaim his French possessions. This period was marked by a series of military campaigns and intermittent negotiations. Philip suffered several defeats during these conflicts, notably at Fréteval in July 1194 and at Courcelles in September 1198.1

The hostilities between the two kings continued until Richard’s death in April 1199. Following Richard's passing, his brother John succeeded him. To secure his position against rival claims, John eventually came to terms with Philip through the Treaty of Le Goulet in May 1200, which temporarily settled territorial disputes by ceding certain lands to the French crown in exchange for Philip's recognition of John as the rightful heir.1
