 The body of the king of the Franks Philip I, whose friendship was so beneficial to the monks, is buried in 1108 in the center of the choir in a vault whose well-preserved remains are recognized in 1830. The recumbent bears six lions and is decorated with the effigy of the deceased in high relief. It was resized in 1830 to eliminate mutilations. Four lions are brand new but the other two are the only original pieces.
Not wanting, because of his faults, to be buried next to his ancestors in the basilica Saint-Denis, he asked to be buried in the abbey of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, also called abbey of Fleury Saint -Benoît-sur-Loire.
Philip I, born in 1052 and died in 1108 at the castle of Melun, is the fourth king of France of the Capetian dynasty. He reigned from 1060 to 1108. He was the first son of Henry I, King of France from 1031 to 1060, and Anne of Kiev. He is sacred to Reims, and therefore associated with his father on the throne, in 1059.
At the death of Henry I, in 1060, Philip I was placed under the tutelage of Baudouin V, Count of Flanders, until 1066. Indeed, since the advent of Hugh Capet, Philip I was the first minor king; this represented a danger to his power given the fact that the Capetian monarchy was still not hereditary.
Philippe Ier intervenes in the succession in Flanders after the death of the Count of Flanders Baudouin VI, in 1070. He supports indeed Arnoult III, the son of Baudouin VI, against Robert Frisian, brother of Baudouin VI. Robert the Frison defeated his nephew and Philip I at Mont Cassel in 1071, a battle in which Arnoult III died. Philip I takes Saint-Omer and recognizes Robert the Frisian Count of Flanders.
However, during most of his reign, Philip I will fight against his most powerful vassal, William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy and became King of England in 1066. In 1078, Philip I supports the revolt of Robert Courteheuse against his father , William the Conqueror.
In retaliation, William the Conqueror committed a military campaign against Philip I, which was stopped by the death of William the Conqueror in 1087. Philip I can not participate in the first crusade because of the excommunication by Pope Urban II because of the repudiation of his first wife Berthe of Holland.
His excommunication will be lifted by Pope Pascal II in 1105. In 1099, Philip I associated with power his eldest son, the future Louis VI Gros, to ensure his succession. Philip I, who will have faced the mistrust of the great lords during his reign, left his son a royal estate enlarged (compared to the one he inherited in 1060) by the Gâtinais, Vexin and Berry.

 Le corps du roi des Francs Philippe Ier, dont l'amitié a été si profitable aux moines, est inhumé en 1108 au centre du chœur dans un caveau dont les restes bien conservés sont reconnus en 1830. Le gisant porte six lions et est décoré de l'effigie du défunt en haut-relief. Il est retaillé en 1830 pour faire disparaître les mutilations. Quatre lions sont entièrement neufs mais les deux autres sont les seuls morceaux d'origine.
Ne voulant pas, en raison de ses fautes, être enterré à côté de ses ancêtres en la basilique Saint-Denis, il a demandé à être inhumé dans l’abbaye de Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, appelée également abbaye de Fleury à Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire.
Philippe Ier, né en 1052 et mort en 1108 à au château de Melun, est le quatrième roi de France de la dynastie des capétiens. Il régna de 1060 à 1108. C'est le premier fils d'Henri Ier, roi de France de 1031 à 1060, et d'Anne de Kiev. Il est sacré à Reims, et donc associé à son père sur le trône, en 1059.
A la mort d'Henri Ier, en 1060, Philippe Ier est placé sous la tutelle de Baudouin V, comte de Flandre, et ce jusqu'en 1066. En effet, depuis l'avènement d'Hugues Capet, Philippe Ier était le premier roi mineur ; celui-ci représentait un danger pour son pouvoir étant donné le fait que la monarchie capétienne n'était toujours pas héréditaire.
Philippe Ier intervient dans la succession en Flandre après la mort du comte de Flandre Baudouin VI, en 1070. Il soutient en effet Arnoult III, le fils de Baudouin VI, contre Robert le Frison, frère de Baudouin VI. Robert le Frison bat son neveu et Philippe Ier au mont Cassel en 1071, bataille durant laquelle Arnoult III trouve la mort. Philippe Ier reprend Saint-Omer et reconnaît Robert le Frison comte de Flandre.
Cependant, durant la plus grande partie de son règne, Philippe Ier luttera contre son plus puissant vassal, Guillaume le Conquérant, duc de Normandie et devenu roi d'Angleterre en 1066. En 1078, Philippe Ier soutient la révolte de Robert Courteheuse contre son père, Guillaume le Conquérant.
En représailles, Guillaume le Conquérant engage une campagne militaire contre Philippe Ier qui sera stoppée par la mort de Guillaume le Conquérant en 1087. Philippe Ier ne peut participer à la première croisade à cause de l'excommunication par le pape Urbain II en raison de la répudiation de sa première épouse Berthe de Hollande.
Son excommunication sera levée par le pape Pascal II en 1105. En 1099, Philippe Ier associe au pouvoir son fils aîné, le futur Louis VI le Gros, afin d'assurer sa succession. Philippe Ier, qui aura affronté la défiance des grands seigneurs durant son règne, laissa à son fils un domaine royal agrandi (par rapport à celui dont il a hérité en 1060) par le Gâtinais, le Vexin et le Berry.
