due to his royal heritage, the authority to marshal the might of an entire kingdom against the enemies of Christ. Personally leading his
armies into battle, he took back more territory from Islam than any other king in history. First cousin of St. Louis IX of France, he died a
saintly death in the year 1252. His incorrupt body can still be seen in the Cathedral of Seville, and his feastday, May 30th, is a holy
day of obligation in Spain.
