Bouvines, battle of, 1214. On 27 July 1214 was fought one of the decisive battles in European history. Near Bouvines (Flanders), the army of Philip II ‘Augustus’, king of France (1179–1223), crushed the forces of the coalition against him: an expeditionary corps from England, dispatched by King John; the detachments of Rhineland princes; and Otto of Brunswick, John's nephew and Holy Roman emperor. Philip's victory set John upon the road to Runnymede and Magna Carta.
