| Abstract | |
The goal of this work is to identify the royalty models in Louis IX, king of France from 1226 to 1270. The basis of analysis is mostly Jean de Joinvilles work named Histoire de Saint Louis. During this analysis, we verify the peculiarity of the source, a mirror of prince, medieval gender whose goal is to establish an ideal of royalty. Louis IX is traced as a king-pilgrim, a crusade that enlarged the king of God on the hearth. He is identified with the kingdom of Christ and the Imitatio Christi. In that work, Joinville, seneschal of Champagne, described the main facts of the kings life, recovered memories thirty years after his death. Written from 1305 to 1309, by request of Joan of Navarra (1270-1305), Philip Le Beauxwife (1268-1314), his goal would be to value the holy words and good accomplishments of the king, Saint Louis. We chosen that source mostly for its trace of private authority, since Joinville, as laic seneschal, friend and confident of the king, described, from a privileged point of view, a long period of his king and lords government. The strong alliance with the Church would be one of the main traces of the Capetingean monarchy. The Church was the master piece of the feudalism, as well as its ideological support. It was the main mediator between the king and his populus, by giving him the power towards the kingdom through the ceremony of crownement. King-symbol of the French Medieval Ages, Louis IX grouped elements of the three social functions of the XIth century, according to Adalberon de Laon: the oratores, the bellatores, and the laboratores. He was canonized thirty seven years after his death, supporting the legacy of Philip Le Beauxs capetingean dynasty. (AU) | |
