  16. Louis IX Considered an ideal king due to his extreme piety Made a saint posthumously (St. Louis) Rumor has it, he paid an exorbitant amount of money for a thorn supposedly from the crown of Jesus and then nearly bankrupt the country building a cathedral to house it. (since it is rumor, lets not write it down)
