Richard I, Priests Plead for Release of Philip of Dreux

Priests plead with Richard I for the release of the Bishop of Beauvais. Philip of Dreux (1158-1217) was a French nobleman, Bishop of Beauvais, and figure of the Third Crusade. He was an active soldier, an ally in the field of Philip Augustus, the French king and his cousin, making him an opponent in campaigns in France and elsewhere of Richard I of England. He was captured by Angevin forces during a Normandy campaign, in 1197. Richard was still refusing to release him a year later, and again early in 1199. He was freed only after Richard’s death.
