Did he deserve the name Philip the fair?

Philip IV of France, often referred to as Philip the Fair, earned this title partly due to his striking appearance and the perception of fairness in his rule. However, opinions on his reign are mixed; while he implemented significant administrative reforms and strengthened royal authority, his aggressive policies, including heavy taxation and conflicts with the Church, have drawn criticism. Thus, whether he truly deserved the name "the Fair" is subjective and depends on one's perspective on his legacy.
