EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photo print, we witness the compassionate side of King Louis IX of France during the seventh crusade. Amidst the chaos and devastation of war, Louis IX selflessly assists in burying fallen soldiers who succumbed to a rampant disease that spread through their camp. This historical moment captures the essence of his reign as a devout monarch known for his piety and commitment to justice. Louis IX, also revered as Saint Louis or Louis the Saint, ruled over France from 1226 until 1270. His unwavering faith led him to embark on several holy wars, including this crusade to the Holy Land. However, it is not just his military prowess that stands out but rather his genuine concern for those under his command. The engraving showcased here is an archival treasure from Histoire de France published in 1855 by Ken Welsh. It transports us back to the thirteenth century when religious fervor drove countless men into battle. The vintage illustration serves as a reminder of both our shared history and humanity's capacity for empathy even amidst times of conflict. As we gaze upon this picture, let us remember King Louis IX not only as a powerful ruler but also as a compassionate leader who understood the importance of honoring those who sacrificed their lives in service to their country and cause.
