The Papo Saint Louis and Horse figures capture the historical grandeur of King Louis IX of France, also known as Saint Louis, riding his noble steed into battle or ceremony. The figure showcases the king dressed in regal, medieval clothing, adorned with a flowing royal blue cloak that bears the fleur-de-lis, a symbol of French royalty. He holds a sword high in one hand and a shield in the other as he charges into battle.

The horse is equally majestic, clad in an ornate, matching caparison that enhances the royal image. Its posture is strong and commanding, standing as a symbol of strength and loyalty. Its mane and face are covered with armor. Saint Louis is depicted holding a sword, signaling his role as a protector of the faith and his kingdom. 

The Papo Saint Louis and His Horse measures:
St. Louis stands 3.5 inches tall on his own.
While atop his mount they are 5 inches tall together.
His valiant steed measures 3.75 inches tall by 5.5 inches long.

Saint Louis, or Louis IX, ruled France from 1226 to 1270 and is remembered as one of the most revered kings in French history. Canonized as a saint, he was known for his piety, justice, and devotion to Christianity. Under his reign, France became a stronghold of culture, justice, and religious authority.

Saint Louis led two Crusades to the Holy Land, seeking to spread Christianity and secure holy sites for pilgrims, which earned him respect as a devout leader. He also reformed France's judicial system, ensuring that justice was delivered impartially, often presiding over disputes himself. His deep sense of morality, both in governance and personal life, set him apart from other monarchs of his time.

The combination of his military campaigns, religious dedication, and administrative reforms left a lasting legacy that defined France during the Middle Ages. His reputation as a just and noble ruler, along with his commitment to the Christian faith, has made Saint Louis an enduring figure of medieval history and a symbol of Christian kingship.
