Louis IX (25 April 1214 \endash 25 August 1270), commonly known as Saint Louis, is the only King of France to be canonized in the Catholic Church. Louis was crowned in Reims at the age of 12, following the death of his father Louis VIII; his mother, Blanche of Castile, ruled the kingdom as regent until he reached maturity. During Louis' childhood, Blanche dealt with the opposition of rebellious vassals and obtained a definitive victory in the Albigensian Crusade which had started 20 years earlier.
Louis married Marguerite DE PROVENCE , Queen of France, daughter of Raymond-Bérenger DE PROVENCE and Beatrice DE SAVOIE.
