Philippe Auguste’s second marriage
On August 15, 1193, Philip II of France would marry Constance of Toulouse, the daughter of enemy of the Angevins in the South Raymond VI instead of an alliance with the Danish in the claims to England, he would instead focus on removing the Angevins in power in France at least instead of a Danish alliance seeing that the bride proposed to him was Ingeborg was not attractive to him.
It was said that Philippe Auguste turned his back on marrying Ingeborg due to his own dream regarding the marriage that the marriage would be his own downfall
Constance of Toulouse would provide Philip II of two children, namely, Marie(1195) and Constance(1198), the marriage of Constance to Philip II would provide the French a reason to annex Toulouse due to the lack of male heirs of her own father again in 1222 after the Cathar Crusade.
On the death of Philip II in 1216, Constance of Toulouse is forced to retire to a convent in Paris.
Louis VIII would deny his stepmother her own rights to Toulouse due to his own wife being a descendant of Philippa of Toulouse.

Ingeborg of Denmark On 1194, Ingeborg and her brother would consider the possible marriage with her and Philippe a failure and her brother would try to find a new husband for her, Casimir II of Pomerania, a useful ally of Denmark and the marriage would be fruitful as it would produce a son named Barnim(1198) who was her only known issue and the marriage would create a further tie between the Griffins and the Danes and seeing the stubborn nature of Philippe and what he and his son did to Constance, the possible marriage between Ingeborg and Philippe not pushing through was the best for her. It was said that Ingeborg herself dodged a bullet by not marrying Philippe Auguste and Denmark in the future as well.
