Philip II.
After conquering Normandy in 1204, Philip II Augustus proceeded to subdue several other former English territories in France. Between 1204 and 1205, he successfully took control of the following regions:1
- Maine12
- Touraine12
- Anjou12
- Poitou (most of the territory)12
While these regions fell relatively quickly, the castles of Loches and Chinon required an additional year to capture. By the end of these campaigns, only Aquitaine and a few peripheral domains remained in the possession of the English.12
