Answer
Louis VI, born in 1081, succeeded his father, Philip I, to the French throne in 1108. Known as "Louis the Fat", he inherited a kingdom weakened by royal mismanagement and feudal disarray. Louis proved to be a capable and energetic ruler, gradually asserting royal authority over powerful nobles and expanding the royal domain. His successful reign laid the foundation for the resurgence of the French monarchy.
