A history of all nations from the earliest times; being a universal historical library . rriage, in 1193, with the beau-tiful Dane, Ingeborg, the daughter ofKing Waldemar (Fig. 105), Phihphad it dissolved by the over-compli-ant French episcopate on the custom-ary plea of consanguinity. On Inge-borgs appeal to Rome, the sentenceof divorce was quashed by the pope;but nevertheless the king married the Tyrolese princess, Agnes ofMeran, while the Curia gave no respo/ise to the jnteous appeals ad-dressed to it by Inge borg from the nunnery in which she was shutup. There was no change till Innocent III. — anxious to punishthe king for his alliance with PhiliiJ of Swabia — intervened, andcommanded Philip to reject Agnes of Meran, and restore Ingeborg toher rights. As Philip refused, the pope pronounced the interdicton France. To this, notwithstanding that his people were deeplyaffected by the privation of all religious observances, and becamedeeply conscience stricken, Philip put on a bold front. Not till hehimself was threatened with the ban, did the king indicate any desire. Fig. 105. — Costume of a of the thirteenth century. 2.)n FRANCE AND ENGLAND FROM 1154 TO 127S. to come to terms. But Innocent repelled every suggestion of mitigat-ing the penalty so long as he continued to live with Agnes, and hadnot ttiken Ingeboig back. Ultimately, out of regard to the growingdiscontent of his people, Philip professed submission, and the inter-dict was taken off. But he did not keep his word. Agnes, whohad borne him two children, was, indeed, dismissed from couit; butIno-eborg was retained, not as a queen, but as a prisoner. In 1201Agnes died, but not till 121o did the sorely tried Ingeborg return tothe home of her husband.
