1910 Saint Louis King Of France by Sire De Joinville Antique French History Book

Saint Louis King Of France
By The Sire De Joinville
Translated by James Hutton
Published by Sampson, Low, Marston & Company: London 1910 7th Edition

" Saint Louis, King of France is the classic medieval biography of Louis IX, written by his close companion and seneschal Jean de Joinville, one of the most valuable firsthand narrative sources of the thirteenth century. Joinville presents an intimate and vivid portrait of the French king not only as monarch and crusader, but as a deeply pious, humane, and principled ruler, blending personal recollection with eyewitness accounts of court life, governance, and the Crusades. His narrative captures the moral character of Saint Louis alongside detailed observations of medieval warfare, diplomacy, religious devotion, and daily life, making the work as much a social document as a royal biography.

This seventh edition, published in London in 1910 and translated by James Hutton, reflects the enduring importance of Joinville's account within English-language medieval scholarship. Carefully produced and clearly presented, it preserves the directness and immediacy of the original while making one of the great texts of medieval historiography accessible to modern readers. The volume remains an essential source for understanding medieval kingship, sanctity, and crusading culture, and would appeal especially to readers of medieval history, Crusades scholarship, and collectors of early twentieth-century historical translations."
