INGEBORG [INGEBURGE, INGELBURGE, INGELBORG, ISEMBURGE, See also:

Dan. INGIBjORG1 (c. 1176-1237 Or 1238), See also:queen of See also:France, was the daughter of Valdemar I., See also:king of See also:Denmark. She married in 1193 See also:Philip II. See also:Augustus, king of France, but on the See also:day after his See also:marriage the king took a sudden aversion to her, and wished to obtain a separation. During almost twenty years he strained every effort to obtain from the See also:church the See also:declaration of nullity of his marriage. The See also:council of See also:Compiegne acceded to his wish on the 5th of See also:November 1193, but the popes See also:Celestine III. and See also:Innocent III. successively took up the See also:defence of the unfortunate queen. Philip, having married See also:Agnes of See also:Meran in See also:June 1196, was excommunicated, and as he remained obdurate, the See also:kingdom was placed under an See also:interdict. Agnes was finally sent away, but Ingeborg, shut up in the See also:chateau of See also:Etampes, had to undergo all sorts of privations and vexations. The king attempted to. induce her to solicit a See also:divorce herself, or to enter a See also:convent. At last, however (1213), hoping perhaps to justify by his wife's claims his pretensions to See also:England, Philip was reconciled with Ingeborg, whose See also:life from henceforth was devoted to See also:religion. She survived him more than fourteen years, passing the greater See also:part of the See also:time in the priory of St See also:Jean at See also:Corbeil, which she had founded.
