For those keeping score at home #LouisIX was a one man #Alamo.
He got his ass kicked in the seventh crusade and died in the eighth crusade. And yet in 1297, Pope Boniface VIII still canonized him despite all the awful crap that he did. ...

Of course Pope Boniface VIII was also an asshole. Dante Alighieri, who wrote his treatise De Monarchia to dispute Boniface's claims of papal supremacy, placed the pope in the Eighth Circle of Hell in his Divine Comedy...

an apropos satire considering that when Boniface died in 1303, he was posthumously put on trial for sodomy.
History seems to show that a lot of people with a lot of bad judgement were put in charge of things they shouldn't have. ...

Also, #LouisIX was the only king to be canonized by Pope buttface--I mean Bonfiace.
