55 During the late Middle Ages, the cult <strong>of</strong> St. Louis was used by a number <strong>of</strong> parties, each <strong>of</strong><br />

which used it for their own purposes, limiting the influence <strong>of</strong> the saint. For the weakened <strong>state</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> the cult <strong>of</strong> St. Louis during the late Middle Ages <strong>and</strong> the influence <strong>of</strong> the saint as a model ruler<br />

in the seventeenth century, see ibid., 17-18, 90-125. For seventeenth-century French attitudes<br />

towards St. Louis, see Alain Boureau, "Les enseignement absolutistes de Saint Louis 1610-<br />

1630," in La monarchie absolutiste et l'histoire en France: Théories du pouvoir, propag<strong>and</strong>es<br />

58 A double feast, or duplex feast, is the name given to more important festivals. Although the<br />

feast <strong>of</strong> St. Louis had been celebrated at individual institutions, such as at Saint-Denis, since the<br />

king’s canonization in 1297, Pope Paul V was the first to order that it be celebrated throughout<br />

the kingdom; see Paul Perdrizet, Le Calendrier parisien à la fin dun moyen âge: d'après le<br />

bréviaire et les livres d'heures (Paris: Les belles lettres, 1933), 210. A copy <strong>of</strong> the bull was<br />

published in the Mercure françois 5 (1618): 271-73.<br />

59 For a description <strong>of</strong> the Parisian celebration <strong>of</strong> the feast, see Mercure françois 5 (1618): 276.<br />

60 For a discussion <strong>of</strong> the numerous texts, see Boureau, "Les enseignements," 79-97.<br />
