1215 1270 Butler Crusader


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, the revered King of France from 1226 to 1270. Born in 1214, Louis was the son of King Louis VIII and Blanche of Castile. At the tender age of 12, he ascended to the throne following his father's untimely death during the Albigensian Crusade. Louis IX is most famously recognized for his unwavering commitment to the Crusades. In 1248, he embarked on his first crusade to the Holy Land, leading a large army to retake the city of Damietta from the Egyptians. Although the campaign ultimately ended in failure, Louis's determination and piety inspired awe among his followers. In 1254, Louis returned to the Holy Land for a second crusade, which also proved unsuccessful. Despite these setbacks, Louis's dedication to the cause never wavered. He continued to support the Crusades financially and spiritually, even as other European rulers began to lose interest. Louis IX's reign was not without its challenges. He faced numerous rebellions and conflicts within his own kingdom, including a dispute with the Pope over the appointment of the Archbishop of Reims. However, Louis's unwavering commitment to justice and fairness earned him the respect and loyalty of his people. In 1270, Louis IX embarked on his final crusade to Tunis, North Africa. He fell ill during the campaign and died on August 25, 1270, at the age of 56. Louis was canonized in 1297, making him the first French king to be recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church. This print of Louis IX, dressed in his royal robes and holding a scepter, serves as a testament to his remarkable legacy as a king, a crusader, and a saint. His unwavering dedication to his faith and his people continues to inspire generations, making him an enduring figure in French and European history.
