🎨 Descrizione iconografica:

Filippo IV, noto anche come Filippo il Bello, è stato re di Francia dal 1285 al 1314. Durante il suo regno, ha preso parte a importanti eventi storici e ha intrapreso azioni significative per consolidare il potere della monarchia francese.

Una delle principali azioni di Filippo il Bello è stata l’appoggio agli Angioini nella guerra del Vespro in Sicilia. Questo conflitto scoppiò nel 1282 tra gli Angioini, che erano sostenuti dalla Francia, e gli Aragonesi, che avevano il sostegno della Corona d’Aragona. Filippo IV inviò truppe francesi per aiutare gli Angioini e tentò di ottenere il controllo dell’isola. Sebbene il conflitto non si risolvesse a suo favore, questa azione dimostrò la volontà di Filippo di intervenire in questioni estere e di sostenere gli interessi del suo regno.
