Summary: "Great Christians of France: Saint Louis and Calvin" by François Guizot is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work examines the lives and contributions of two significant figures in French history: King Louis IX (Saint Louis) and the Protestant reformer John Calvin. The focus is on their deep Christian faith, virtues, and the impact they had on their respective eras, illustrating the complex interplay of religious devotion and political power in France. At the start of the book, Guizot outlines the reasons for choosing Louis IX and John Calvin as exemplars of Christian integrity and commitment, noting that they represent the best of both Catholic and Protestant traditions in France. He discusses the significance of Louis IX’s reign, characterized by his religious zeal and the political challenges he faced, including conflicts with feudal lords and his fervent wish to lead a crusade. Guizot highlights Louis' education and parental influence, particularly from his mother, Queen Blanche of Castile, reflecting on how these elements shaped his character as a king dedicated to upholding Christian values amidst the tumult of 13th-century Europe.
