Secrets of History | Saint Louis - On Earth As In Heaven

A 2014 France TV History Documentary hosted by Stéphane Bern. Audio in French with English subtitles.

Louis IX, also called Saint Louis, is the only king to have been canonized in 1297, only twenty-seven years after his death. In this Secrets of History episode, Stéphane Bern follows in the footsteps of Louis IX. Guided by an unshakeable faith, attentive to his people, Saint-Louis profoundly modified the judicial institutions of the kingdom, thus forging a reputation as a just king.
