History
Philip I became king of the Franks in 1060, as a child, and ruled until his death on 29 July 1108. The Capetian domain was smaller than several of his dukes' lands. He added the Vexin and spent much of the reign managing, rather than commanding, those dukes. His seal survives, and he was buried at Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire.
The 1066 map gives the kingdom about 84 counties. The campaign is the slow thickening of the royal domain, not a conquest of France, which he already wears as a title.
