Other kings had done the same, of course. Louis was different in that he actually interpreted his kingly duties in the light of faith. After the violence of two previous reigns, he brought peace and justice. The axis of the song centers around Louis' appeal to his barons, who have doubts and excuses for not accompanying him. However, the king will contest his objections one by one. At the end of the song the king will succeed in convincing his vassals to accompany him, and then they embarked for Egypt. Louis deserves credit for extending justice in civil administration. His regulations for royal officials became the first of a series of reform laws. He replaced trial by battle with a form of examination of witnesses and encouraged the use of written records in court. ---- This chant was performed by Chœur Montjoie Saint-Denis #Saint-Denis ---- Top Patrons: (10 $ or more donation) Randall Flagg, Lord Funkicus, Mobius, Tlto James Francis, Wiktora Zatorski unter Rhoades, Joseph Blain, George Sherratt, The Salk, Brendon Wade, James A Panter, Christophe, Jason Huang, Fanfmoe, Peter Hundy, CanadianGuy208, Ryan Magoon...
