St. Louis King of France
|
 Saint Louis (25 April 1214 - 25 August 1270), was King of France from 1226 until his death. He was also Count of Artois from 1226 to 1237. Born at Poissy, near Paris, he was a member of the House of Capetand the son of King Louis VIIIand Blanche of Castile.
In 1234, he married Margaret, the virtuous daughter of Raymond Berenger, Count of Provence; they had ten children. In 1238, he headed a crusade, in which he fell a prisoner among the Mohammedans, but a truce was concluded and he was set free and returned to France. In 1267, he again set out for the East at the head of a crusade but he never again beheld his native land. In 1270, he was stricken by the pestilence at the siege of Tunis, and after receiving the Last Sacraments, he died. He was canonized 27 years later.
Louis is a patron of Tertiaries. His Feast Day is August 25th. |
