The affirmation of the Capétiens and the expansion of the royal domain in France (987-1461)

In 987, the royal domain (the lands on which the King of France directly exercises his power) was limited to the 98le-de-France. Elsewhere, his dominance rests on more or less strong feodo-vassal links.

Between the Xth and 12th centuries, the king must compose with the influence of the great princes of the kingdom (dukes, counts). They are the ones who elect Hugues Capet to succeed in 987 the last Carolingian, Louis V. Certainly, the Capetians have strengths, starting with the sacred, and they manage to expand their area of influence, but some princes manifest desires for autonomy, such as the Count of Flanders or the Plantagenêts, whose domains extend in 1170 from Normandy to Gascon.

The reigns of Philippe Auguste (1180–1223), Louis VIII (1223–1226) and Saint Louis (1226–1270) mark the affirmation of Capetian power. The former extends his influence in Flanders and Champagne. He triumphs over the Plantagenêts and integrates Normandy, Anjou, Maine (1204) as well as a part of the Auvergne (1213). He starts a push towards the Languedoc pursued by his son Louis VIII. These conquests are then consolidated by St. Louis.

In the 13th century the share of the royal domain in the kingdom increases and with it the direct influence of the king. Less taxable the ties between men and men, his power is increasingly territorialized.

In 1328, the death without heir of Charles IV, the last son of Philippe IV the Bel, raises the question of the royal succession; grafted on the old Franco-English rivalry, it leads to the Hundred Years War (1337-1453). Charles VII wins and conquers the entire kingdom except Calais. Despite hardships, war helps strengthen the royal ideology (a very Christian and divine lawful king) and the royal state (especially in its ability to collect taxes). At the end of the Middle Ages, the indirect branch of the Valois thus holds the kingdom firmly.

Steve has journals where he writes poetry and short stories, which Eddie finds while Steve is busy maybe taking a shower? I think Eddie may have sneakily taken one of the journals with him to read. When Steve finds out he is embarrassed but Eddie is delighted by his writing and wants to show him off. I don't think it was an established relationship fic, more like early or pre steddie.
