John of Joinvillewas born in 1224 or 1225. In 1233 he inherited the office of seneschal of Champagne that would give him a leading role in the administrative affairs of the county. He took the cross for the first crusade led by King Louis IX of France. Joinville became a close friend of Louis IX and after their return to France he was a familiar figure at the royal court. Joinville refused to join Louis on his second crusade and was therefore not present when the king died in 1270. He honoured his friend’s memory by giving evidence to the enquiry that established the king’s sanctity and by composingThe Life of Saint Louisas a record of his holy words and good deeds.
