Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of King Saint Louis IX of France, a complex and fascinating historical figure who was both a devoted Christian and a strong and effective ruler. The author draws on a range of sources, including contemporary accounts and the saint's own writings, to provide a vivid and engaging portrait of the man and his times. Louis was born in 1214, the son of King Louis VIII and Blanche of Castile. He became king at the age of 12, and his mother acted as regent until he came of age. Louis was a pious and devout man, and he was deeply committed to the ideals of chivalry. He also had a strong sense of justice, and he worked hard to improve the lives of his subjects. Louis's reign was marked by a number of important events, including the Seventh Crusade, which he led in 1248. He was also responsible for a number of important reforms, including the establishment of a system of royal justice and the creation of a new coinage. Louis died in 1270, and he was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 1297. He is remembered as one of the greatest kings of France, and his life and reign continue to be studied and admired by historians and theologians today.
