The Capetian dynasty, which began with Hugh Capet in 987, played a significant role in the history of France. From St. Louis (Louis IX), known for his piety and justice, to Henry III and Francis I, these kings left their mark on Paris and beyond. In 1886, the stunning La Sainte Chapelle in Paris stood as a testament to the grandeur of the Capetians. Its intricate stained glass windows showcased their devotion to Christianity. The Crusades were also part of their legacy. During the Seventh Crusade's Siege of Damietta, King Louis IX led his troops into battle against formidable odds. However, not all moments were glorious for this royal family. The image of Louis XI visiting Cardinal Balue imprisoned in an iron cage depicted a dark period marked by political intrigue. Looking back further into history, we find Robert I crowned King of the Franks in 922 but tragically killed by one of Charles III's soldiers. During the Second Crusade in 1148, King Louis VII valiantly defended himself against Turkish soldiers while perched on a weapon—a testament to his bravery amidst adversity. King Louis VIII issued an edict prohibiting usury by Jews—an example showcasing how religion influenced governance during that era. Lastly, Philippe IV le Bel and Jacques de Molay are immortalized together in an engraving from "La Monarchie francaise en estampe. " This depiction captures both power and tragedy as they were key figures during Philip's reign when he ordered the arrest and execution of Templar Knights like Molay. From religious devotion to military campaigns and political intrigue—the Capetians shaped French history through triumphs and tribulations alike.
