Description

Three men played key roles in governance during the reign of King Louis IX in 13th-century France. Robert of Sorbon, Etienne Boileau, and Simon de Nesle were individuals with distinct backgrounds who contributed to the king's rule.

Robert founded the Sorbonne, while Boileau served as prévôt of Paris, overseeing royal administration. Simon de Nesle held significant power as co-regent of the kingdom twice. Examining their relationships with Louis IX offers new insights into the nature of his rule and its impact on his subjects.

This book presents a fresh perspective on the governance of 13th-century France, shedding light on the men who shaped the king's policies and legacy.
