Louis IX, St (1214–70), King of France from 1226. Having resolved in 1244 to go on a
Crusade, he sailed in 1248 and captured the Egyptian port of Damietta in 1249. In 1250, however, the crusaders were routed and Louis taken prisoner. He returned to France in 1254, imposed peace on Flanders, and signed treaties with Aragon and England. He embarked on a further crusade in 1270, but died of dysentery at Tunis.
A man of austere and prayerful life, Louis embodied the highest ideals of medieval kingship. He built the
Sainte-Chapelle in Paris for the
Crown of Thorns which he acquired from the Emp. Baldwin II in 1239. Feast day, 25 Aug.
