Louis IX of France
1214 CE–1270 CE · Paris
Louis IX ruled France from 1226 to 1270 and became renowned as a model of pious medieval kingship, the only French monarch later canonized as a saint. He strengthened royal justice and administration and built the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris to house relics of the Passion. A devout Catholic, he led the Seventh Crusade (1248–1254) and later the Eighth Crusade, dying of disease near Tunis in 1270; during his reign the Talmud was condemned and copies were burned in Paris. He was canonized in 1297.
