This book offers a novel perspective on one of the most important monuments of French Gothic architecture, the Sainte-Chapelle, constructed in Paris by King Louis IX between 1239 and 1248. Meredith Cohen explains how the chapel served as propaganda for the French king, while examining the role of royal architecture in the formation of French cultural and national identities.
