He lived off and on in Normandy, France. He is depicted in the famous Bayeux Tapestries in a Norman village by that name which is on the same train line from Paris as Lisieux where one can hang out with the bones of Saint Therese every October 1 (her feast day). Today during the Royal Wedding the secretive part of the ceremony closed to cameras took place in the chapel of Saint Edward the Confessor where his relics are. He features prominently in coronations as you might imagine. King Louis of France is the only French King to be canonized -which makes it fun that one of Prince Williams' middle names is Louis. One imagines after the Saintly King.
