Book condition : very good. - Biograpy of Louis IX (1214-1270), also known as Saint Louis, was King of France from 1226 until his death in 1270. Louis instigated significant reforms in the French legal system, creating a royal justice mechanism that allowed petitioners to appeal judgements directly to the monarch. He abolished trials by ordeal, endeavored to terminate private wars, and incorporated the presumption of innocence into criminal proceedings. To implement his new legal framework, he established the offices of provosts and bailiffs. Louis IX's reign is often marked as an economic and political zenith for medieval France, ISBN 9782070733699.
