Guillaume Breton the, historiographer of the king, reports that Philippe Auguste would have thus lost the " booklets of account of the fisc". This loss decided Philippe Auguste with sédentariser the files, by gathering the most important documents in Paris, which marks traditionally the creation of the Public records.
