"Louis IX of France reigned as king from 1226 to 1270 and was widely considered an
exemplary Christian ruler, renowned for his piety, justice, and charity toward the
poor. After his death on crusade, he was proclaimed a saint in 1297, and today Saint
Louis is regarded as one of the central figures of early French history and the High
Middle Ages. In The Sanctity of Louis IX, Larry F. Field offers the first English-language
translations of two of the earliest and most important accounts of the king's life:
one composed by Geoffrey of Beaulieu, the king's long-time Dominican confessor, and
the other by William of Chartres, a secular clerk in Louis's household who eventually
joined the Dominican Order himself. Written shortly after Louis's death, these accounts
are rich with details and firsthand observations absent from other works, most notably
Jean of Joinville's well-known narrative"
