Ludovicus nonus Galliæ rex, duodecim annos natus, patre amisso, et in Blanchæ matris
|
|
sanctissima disciplina educatus, cum jam vigesimum annum in regno ageret, in morbum incidit:
|
|
quo tempore cogitavit de recuperanda possessione Jerosolymorum. Quamobrem ubi convaluisset,
|
|
vexillum ab episcopo Parisiensi accepit: deínde mare cum ingenti exercitu trajiciens, primo
|
|
prælio Saracenos fugavit. Sed cum ex pestilentia magna militum multitudo periisset, victus
|
|
ipse captusque est.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rebus postea cum Saracenis compositis, liber rex exercitusque dimittitur. Quinque annis in
|
|
Oriente commoratus, plurimos Christianos a barbarorum servitute redemit, multos étiam
|
|
infideles ad Christi fidem convertit: præterea aliquot Christianorum urbes refecit suis
|
|
sumptibus. Interim mater ejus migrat e vita: quare domum redire cogitur, ubi totum se dedit
|
|
pietatis officiis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multa ædificavit monasteria, et pauperum hospitia: beneficentia egentes sublevabat: frequens
|
|
visebat ægrotos, quibus ipse non solum suis sumptibus omnia suppeditabat, sed etiam, quæ opus
|
|
erant, manibus ministrabat. Vestitu vulgari utebatur, cilicio ac jejunio corpus assidue
|
|
affligebat. Sed cum iterum transmisisset, bellum Saracenis illaturus, jamque castra in eorum
|
|
conspectu posuisset, pestilentia decessit in illa oratione: Introibo in domum tuam; adorabo
|
|
ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo. Ejus corpus postea Lutétiam Parisiorum
|
|
translatum est, quod in celebri sancti Dionysii templo asservatur et colitur; caput vero in
|
|
sacra æde sanctæ Capellæ. Ipse clarus miraculis a Bonifacio Papa octavo in sanctorum numerum
|
|
est relatus.

Louis IX, King of France, at the age of twelve years lost his father. He was brought up
|
|
under the godly care of his mother, Blanche of Castile. In the twentieth year of his reign
|
|
he fell grievously sick, and the thought then occurred to him of delivering Jerusalem out of
|
|
the hands of the Moslems. On his health being restored, he received a banner from the Bishop
|
|
of Paris, and crossed the sea with a very great army. In his first battle he put the
|
|
Saracens to flight, but, a great number of the soldiers perishing by disease, he was himself
|
|
conquered and taken prisoner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The King afterwards entered into treaty with the Saracens, and he and his army departed in
|
|
peace. He remained five years in the East, during which he redeemed great numbers of
|
|
Christians from slavery among the unbelievers, and also brought many of the unbelievers
|
|
themselves to believe in Christ. Moreover he rebuilt several cities of the Christians at his
|
|
own cost. Meanwhile, his mother departed this life, whereby he was constrained to return
|
|
home, where he gave himself up entirely to works of godliness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
He built many monasteries, and charitable institutions for the poor. By his alms he relieved
|
|
the needy, and often visited the sick, for whom he not only provided at his own cost, but
|
|
waited on them with his own hands with such things as they wanted. He wore a plain dress and
|
|
constantly chastised his body with hair-cloth and fasting. He crossed the sea to make war
|
|
again upon the Saracens. His camp was pitched in sight of the enemy, but he was seized with
|
|
pestilence, and died uttering the words: I will come into thy house; I will worship toward
|
|
thy holy temple, and praise thy Name. His body was afterwards carried to Paris, and it is
|
|
kept and honoured in the famous Abbey Church of St. Denis, but his head in the oratory called
|
|
La Sainte Chapelle. He was renowned for miracles, and Pope Boniface VIII enrolled his name
|
|
among those of the Saints.
