Date – Friday, August 25th 2023 – St. Louis IX, King of France

Top 10 notes on St. Louis IX, King of France, presented in historically chronological order:

1. **Early Reign and Marriage:** Louis IX became king at age 11 after his father's death and married Marguerite of Provence at 19. He ruled during the regency of his mother, Blanche of Castile, who successfully navigated political struggles against various factions.

2. **Struggles and Victories:** During Blanche's regency, France saw victories over rebellious factions like Raymond VII and Pierre Mauclerc, solidifying the Crown's authority.

3. **Crusading Zeal:** Louis's reign combined his responsibilities as a national ruler with his commitment to Christian causes. He sought to address both the governance of France and his duty to Christendom.

4. **First Crusade:** Stricken with illness in 1244, he decided to undertake a crusade after hearing of Turcoman invasions in Jerusalem. His military endeavors were marked by this intertwining of political and religious motives.

5. **International Diplomacy:** Between his two crusades, Louis engaged in diplomatic efforts, like negotiating the Treaty of Paris with England's Henry III. This treaty aimed to avoid conflicts and displayed Louis's preference for peaceful solutions.

6. **Protection of Clergy:** Louis collaborated with the popes to protect the clergy from secular interference and abuses, even during his absence on crusade. His reign was marked by cooperation between the monarchy and the Church.

7. **Pragmatic Sanction Controversy:** Historians debate whether Louis issued a pragmatic sanction in 1269 to curb papal influence over French ecclesiastical appointments. Some later used this alleged decree against the papacy, but its authenticity is doubtful.

8. **Peace and Justice:** Louis's rule emphasized peace and justice. He established a fair judicial system, constructing a court of justice, and promoted equity in governance. His wisdom was rooted in his deep Christian faith.

9. **Architectural Patronage:** St. Louis supported architecture, notably overseeing the construction of the Sainte-Chapelle, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. He also founded the Sorbonne, a renowned theological institution.

10. **Exemplary Holiness:** Louis IX lived a life of personal holiness, marked by devotion, penance, and charity. He cared for the poor, practiced humility, and was known for his wisdom, which was a virtue deeply interwoven with his faith.

St. Louis IX's reign epitomized the integration of faith and governance, exemplifying the ideal of a wise Christian monarch committed to justice, charity, and the well-being of his subjects.
