Which region remained outside Philip I's control?

  • Anjou

  • Vexin

  • Aquitaine

  • Bourges

Answer

Aquitaine, a duchy in southwestern France, stayed beyond the reach of Philip I's authority. While Philip I expanded his dominion and consolidated power, Aquitaine remained an autonomous region with its own rulers. This independence was primarily due to the strong local leadership and the complex political landscape of the region, which allowed Aquitaine to maintain its distinct identity and resist Philip I's attempts at control.
