{"product_id":"sao-luis","title":"Saint Louis","description":"Saint Louis, or Louis IX, the saintly king, grandson of Philip Augustus and grandfather of Philip the Fair, ruled France from 1226 to 1270. Although he is the least known of the French kings of the Middle Ages, the 13th century became known as the \"century of Saint Louis,\" although the creative and fiery 12th century and the 14th, which plunged Europe into the medieval crisis, have attracted more historians. However, alongside Frederick II, Saint Louis—the title of Jacques Le Goff's biography being released by Record in Brazil—is the most important figure of that century in the Christian West. Saint Louis was born in 1214 in Poissy and ascended the throne at the age of 12, reigning initially under the regency of his mother, Blanche of Castile, who confronted her rebellious vassals and married Louis to Margaret of Provence (1234). From 1242 onwards, he began to rule alone. He laid the foundations of Parliament and the Court of Auditors. In 1248, Louis launched the Seventh Crusade. He embarked for Egypt but was defeated and imprisoned at Mansura (1250). Released for ransom, he returned to France and, in 1267, renewed the war against the Muslims, which only truly began in 1270 (the Eighth Crusade). Shortly after the crusaders embarked in North Africa, the king died of an epidemic near the walls of Tunis. In 1297, he was canonized by Boniface VIII. The project for Saint Louis took over ten years, a slow and careful gestation process that few biographies can boast. The work invents a concept, that of \"total biography.\" For Le Goff, it involves articulating three perspectives: in the first part of the book, he presents the results of his attempted biography, highlighting the main periods of Louis's life as he constructed it. In the second, he embarks on a critical study of the production of the king's memory by his contemporaries, and in the third, finally, he explores the main perspectives that make Louis IX an ideal and unique king for the 13th century, a king who receives the halo of sanctity.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174819414268,"sku":"9788501047267","price":199.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/c3c83c6c8efda13d1d907a0ba85be428.jpg?v=1779160501","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/sao-luis","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
