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 the other reason for not marrying her is that Philip II would choose to ally with the Count of Toulouse again against the Plantagenets which included the marriage of his sister Alix to the Count of Toulouse.
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 and her children her own rights to Toulouse due to his own wife being a descendant of Philippa of Toulouse.

Joanna of Flanders and Henry III On 1228, after the death of her first husband, Ferdinand of Portugal, despite giving birth to a daughter named Mary, Joan I of Flanders would take Henry III of England as her own husband bringing in Flanders and Hainault to the rule of the Plantagenets, the age gap did not matter to her since she remembered her common great grandmother with Henry III, Eleanor of Aquitaine having issue in her second marriage despite her own age, the marriage of Henry III’s sister to Frederick II of HRE would have made this marriage feasible as Frederick II would have allowed this marriage and also her daughter Mary of Flanders and Portugal would have married Otto III, Count of Burgundy creating a link between Flanders and the Free County of Burgundy. Joanna of Flanders and Henry III would ally with Conan V against the French, betrothing and later marrying their oldest daughter, Margaret(1231) with Arthur II of Brittany(1223), son of Conan V and Berengaria of Portugal. The marriage would be blessed by many children, namely, Edward(1230), Margaret, Duchess of Brittany(1231), Joanna, Queen of Scotland, wife of Alexander III of Scotland(1233), and Edmund(1236).

Joanna of Flanders and Margaret of Provence Joanna Joanna of Flanders did the right thing passing the inheritance of Flanders and Hainault to England, her sister, Margaret would inherit nothing nor her children due to all her issue surviving, and even if Mary of Flanders and Portugal left no issue, her children from her English marriage did and they would reap the benefits of the Flemish inheritance for centuries to come. Eleanor Joanna of Flanders was nice, and the inheritance would benefit the Flemish who are now assimilated by the English and the people of Holland, Brabant and Frisia as well were assimilated by the English as well. I remember on the reign of Margaret, Countess of Provence, during the time when it was obvious that Provence would be inherited by the future French king on her death, Nice or Nizza or revolted and became permanently a part of the Republic of Genoa. Joanna Although the Walloons would remain loyal with the compatriots in France, the English would respect their rights later as well.
