The first part provides a brief introduction to the life of Lord Joinville and his relationship with King Louis IX. The second part is a translation of his memoirs, which cover the period from 1248 to 1270.

Now therefore, come forward; and if I have done any of you a wrong, I will right it, and will as my custom is redress in turn any grievances you may have against me or my servants."" I put everything right with them as regards the public business of my estates, and in order that I might have no undue advantage, I left my seat on the council, and abode without dispute by their decisions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
