Louis IX, known as Saint Louis (1214-70). King of France from 1226 to 1270. " He was the most distinguished monarch of his time. His piety, justice, and mercy caused him to be trusted, while his ability made him respected." (The New International Encyclopaedia, Vol. XIV, New York: Dodd, Mead & Co., 1920, 389.)
