Louis IX (†1270), commonly known as Saint Louis, was King of France and a canonized saint. Pope Boniface VIII proclaimed the canonization of Louis in 1297. Louis IX is the only French king to be declared a saint, and often considered the model of the ideal Christian monarch. The impact of his canonization was so great that many of his successors were named Louis. Named in his honor, the Sisters of Charity of St. Louis is a Roman Catholic religious order founded in Vannes, France, in 1803. A similar order, the Sisters of St Louis, was founded in 1842. He is honored as co-patron of the Third Order of St. Francis, which claims him as a member of the Order. He is also a holy patron of France, French monarchy, Archdiocese of New Orleans, hairdressers; and lacemakers.
