Line 46:
In May 1276, Philip's elder brother [[Louis of France (1264–1276)|Louis]] died, and the eight year old Philip became heir apparent. It was suspected that Louis had been poisoned, and that his stepmother, [[Marie of Brabant, Queen of France|Marie of Brabant]], had instigated the murder. One reason for these rumours was the fact that the queen had given birth to her own first son the month Louis died.<ref>Elizabeth A.R. Brown, "The Prince is Father of the King: The Character and Childhood of Philip the Fair of France," Mediaeval Studies 49 (1987) pp.282-334.</ref> However, both Philip and his surviving full brother [[Charles, Count of Valois|Charles]] lived well into adulthood and raised large families of their own.
The scholastic part of Philip's education was entrusted to [[Guillaume d'Ercuis]], his father's [[almoner]].<ref>[http://aedilis.irht.cnrs.fr/jeudis9900/jeudis_problematique_det3.htm Guillaume d'Ercuis, ''Livre de raison''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061117080733/http://aedilis.irht.cnrs.fr/jeudis9900/jeudis_problematique_det3.htm |date=17 November 2006 }}</ref>
After the unsuccessful [[Aragonese Crusade]] against [[Peter III of Aragon]], which ended in October 1285, and just before his father's death, the 17-year old Philip negotiated the safe passage across the [[Pyrenees|Pyrenees mountains]]: safe conduct was granted to members of the royal family, but not to the troops.{{Citation needed|date=August 2011}}
