This is a very interesting field, and I wonder whether you may have
come across, or know anything about, a visit of Philippe Auguste to
the abbey of Saint-Denis, in July 1223, in the company of, inter alia, a
considerable number of bishops, with the express purpose of
beginning, or generating interest in, a campaign of the Albigensian
crusade. I would be grateful for any leads in finding out more about
this event. Many thanks in advance.
