==Louis VII, Roi de France==
===Early Life===
: p. Louis VI of France and Adelaide of Maurienne
: 2nd son.
===Other Facts===
* war with Theobald II of Champagne: for letting Raoul I of Vermandois, Seneschal of France, to ditch his wife, Theobald II's niece, and marry Petronilla of Aquitaine (sis of the French queen).
Champagne sided with the Pope in a dispute over Bourges. The war lasted two years (1142–44) and ended with the occupation of Champagne by the royal army.
* lands were placed under papal interdict Pope Innocent II (reigned 1130-43): for supporting a rival to the papal candidate for the archbishopric of Bourges.
* assaulted and burned Vitry.: 1000+ people sought refuge in the church, then died in flames. Guilty and humiliated by ecclesiastical contempt, Louis admitted defeat. He removed his armies from Champagne and returned them to Theobald, accepting Pierre de la Chatre, and shunning Ralph and Petronilla. To atone for his sins, he declared on Christmas Day 1145 at Bourges his intention to go on crusade.
* arrested Eleanor of Aquitaine: Louis was smitten with Eleanor to the point factions popped up at court. Her enemies seized the opportunity to knock her out when her and uncle Raymond got too cozy during Louis' crusade. For that, Louis locked her down.
* supported Thomas Becket: Louis supported Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, and tried to reconcile his relationship with Henry II. But this move was also made to damage Henry.: Even Louis grew irritated with Becket's stubbornness. When Becket refused Henry's conciliations, Louis asked: "Do you wish to be more than a Saint?"
