Image:Armoiries_Evreux_Navarre.png '''Philip III''' (27_March 1306 – 16_September 1343), Count_of_Évreux (1319 – 1343) and King_of_Navarre (1328 – 1343), was the eldest son of Louis of Évreux and Marguerite_d’Artois and therefore a grandson of King Philip_III_of_France. Because of this descent, he was a possible heir to the throne of France. In due course, he inherited the County of Évreux, in Normandy, from his father, and ten years later became Philip III, King_consort of Navarre, on the death of his uncle Charles_IV_of_France. On 18_June 1318, he had married the heiress Joan II. She held extensive fiefdoms in northern France, as well as Navarre. Because of their lands and their many royal relatives, Philip and his wife were influential in both France and Navarre and spent much of their lives going back and forth between them. He participated in the Flemish campaign of Philip_VI_of_France and was at the Battle of Cassel on 23_August 1328, at which the king professed to owe him his victory and his life. In Navarre shortly after, Philip was consacrated and crowned king with his wife on 5_March 1329 by Arnaldo_de_Barbazan, bishop of Pamplona, in the cathedral of Santa_María_la_Real there. In June 1329, he accompanied the king of France to Amiens, where Edward_III_of_England was giving the oath of homage for his French lands. In 1331, he was appointed to the king's council. He went to Avignon with the king to take up the cross from Pope_Benedict_XII and go on Crusade with the kings of Bohemia and Aragon. The crusade was never realised. In 1335, Philip was at war with Aragon. The war ended with the marriage of his eldest daughter Mary to Peter_IV_of_Aragon. By the Treaty_of_Villeneuve-lès-Avignon of 14_March 1336 he received the counties of Angoulème and Mortain in the Peerage_of_France, and the castles of Benon in Aunis and Fontenay-l'Abattu in Poitou. In 1339, he was at the side of the kings of France, Bohemia (John), and Scotland (David II), relieving the cities of Cambrai and Tournai, besieged by the English. This was part of the opening of the Hundred_Years'_War. Asides from that war on French soil, Philip actively participated in the Reconquista in Spain. He joined the adventure begun by Alfonso_XI_of_Castile against the Kingdom_of_Granada and was mortally wounded by an arrow and died at the siege of Jerez_de_la_Frontera. By his wife Joan, he had eight children: *Mary (circa 1329 – 1347), first wife of Peter_IV_of_Aragon *Blanche (1331 – 1398), second wife of Philip_VI_of_France *'''Charles II the Bad''' (1332 – 1387), successor, Count of Évreux and King of Navarre *Agnes (1334 – 1396), married Gaston III, Count of Foix *Philip,_Count_of_Longueville (1336 – 1363), married Yolande de Dampierre *Joanna (1338 – 1387), nun at Longchamps *Joanna (1339 – 1403), married John_I,_Viscount_of_Rohan *Louis (1341 – 1372), Count of Beaumont-le-Roger, married firstly Maria de Lizarazu and secondly Joanna,_Duchess_of_Durazzo {{start box}} {{succession box two to one | before1=Louis | title1=Count of Évreux | years1=1319–1343 | before2=Charles I | title2=King of Navarre | years2=1328–1343 | after=Charles II}} {{end box}} Category:1306_births Category:1343_deaths Category:Kings_consort Category:Navarrese_monarchs Category:Hundred_Years'_War Category:Reconquista Ca:Felip_III_Evreux De:Philipp_III._(Navarra) Es:Felipe_de_Evreux Fr:Philippe_III_de_Navarre Ja:フェリペ3世_(ナバーラ王) Pl:Filip_III_(król_Nawarry)
