Excerpt from From the Limbo of Forgotten Things a Book of Verse Philip (augustus') second wife was Ingeborg of Denmark, whom he married in 1193, and di vorced the day after their marriage. He soon afterward married Agnes Of Meran. Ingeborg ap pealed to the Pope, who took her cause in hand, and, on Philip's refusing to abandon Agnes, placed the kingdom under an interdict. The services ceased in all the churches: the people were without prayers. In the end the king was obliged to yield. He sent away Agnes Of Meran, who died of grief, and took Ingeborg back. Victor Duruy, His tory of F rance. Translated by Mrs. M. Carey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
