king of France " (See also:Luchaire). See also:Suger proudly gives the See also:list of barons who appeared. Henry V. came no farther than See also:Metz. See also:Royalty had won See also:great See also:prestige. Even See also:Theobald, count of Chartres, the king's greatest enemy, the soul of feudal coalitions, came with his contingent. Shortly afterwards (1126), Louis was able to overawe the great count of See also:Aquitaine, William IX., and force his See also:vassal, the count of See also:Auvergne, to treat justly the See also:bishop of Clermont. In See also:Flanders Louis interfered upon the assassination of See also:Charles the See also:Good. He caused the barons to elect as their count in See also:Arras the same William Clito who claimed Normandy, and who was closely See also:bound to the king. For a while Louis had Flanders absolutely at his disposal, but he had hardly See also:left William alone (1127) when his brutal oppression roused both towns and nobles, who declared that Louis had no right to interfere in Flanders. The See also:death of William Clito, and a See also:savage war with his own See also:seneschal, prevented Louis from effectually resenting this attitude; but See also:Thierry of See also:Alsace, the new count, consented in 1128 to receive from Louis the See also:investiture of all his See also:French fiefs, and henceforth lived on good terms with him. In all his See also:wars—those mentioned are but a See also:part of them—Louis fought in See also:person. Proud of his strength, reckless in the See also:charge as on the See also:march, plunging into swollen See also:rivers, entering blazing castles, he gained the reputation of a national See also:hero, the See also:protector of the poor, the See also:- CHURCH

His attitude toward the movement was like that of his predecessors and contemporaries, to favour emancipation when it promised greater See also:chance of • profit, greater See also:- SCOPE (through Ital. scopo, aim, purpose, intent, from Gr. o'KOaos, mark to shoot at, aim, o ic07reiv, to see, whence the termination in telescope, microscope, &c.)
scope for exploitation of the peasants; otherwise to oppose it. He was a great benefactor to the church, aided the new, reformed monastic congregations of Citeau, Premontre and See also:Fontevrault, and See also:chose his two See also:chief ministers from the See also:clergy. See also:Etienne de Garlande, whom Louis raised from obscurity to be See also:archdeacon of Notre See also:Dame at See also:Paris, See also:chancellor and seneschal of France, was all-powerful with the king from Iro8 to 1127. His relatives monopolized the highest offices of the See also:state. But the See also:queen See also:Adelaide became his enemy; both No of Chartres and St See also:Bernard bitterly attacked him; and the king suddenly stripped him of all his offices and honours. Joining the rebellious barons, Etienne then led a See also:bitter war against the king for three years. When Louis had reduced him to terms he pardoned him and restored him to the chancellorship (1132), but not to his old power. Suger (q.v.), See also:administrator of St Denis, enters the See also:scene toward the See also:close of this reign, but his great See also:work belongs to the next.
