On the top right, we see Louis and his wife Marguerite of Provence embarking on their journey for the Seventh Crusade, symbolizing their unwavering devotion to Christianity. The bottom left captures their landing at Carthage, depicting the grandeur and significance of their arrival in Africa. However, tragedy strikes in the bottom right corner as Louis succumbs to plague while on his Eighth Crusade. This heart-wrenching scene portrays not only his untimely death but also emphasizes his dedication to serving God even until his last breath. Louis IX was renowned for his piety and compassion towards the poor, leading him to be canonized by Pope Boniface VIII years after his passing. The vibrant colors and intricate details depicted in this illuminated manuscript truly bring these historical moments to life. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness significant events that shaped both France's history and King Louis IX's legacy.
