Three groups that stood in the way of expanding royal power in France were the nobility, the clergy, and the bourgeoisie. The nobility resisted centralization as they sought to maintain their privileges and local authority. The clergy, particularly powerful in both spiritual and temporal matters, often challenged royal decisions that conflicted with their interests. The bourgeoisie, emerging as a wealthy and influential middle class, sought greater political representation and rights, pushing back against the absolute authority of the monarchy.

Philip II of France, also known as Philip Augustus, strengthened the central government by consolidating royal power and expanding the administrative framework of the state. He effectively diminished the influence of feudal lords by confiscating their lands and integrating them into the royal domain. Philip also implemented a systematic approach to governance by establishing a network of officials, such as baillis and sénéchaux, who enforced royal policies and collected taxes. Additionally, he promoted the use of the French language in administration, which helped unify the kingdom and enhance central authority.
