Saint Luis Bishop of Tolosa

Luis de Tolosa, second son of King Charles II of Naples and Sicily, was in line for succession to the throne. During battles of that kingdom with the Crown of Aragon, he was made prisoner on the Iberian Peninsula, where he maintained contact with the Franciscan Order. After returning to Italy, and upon the death of his older brother, he was postulated as heir, but his religiosity caused him to abdicate to his younger brother when he took his Franciscan vows. Testimony of that rejection is the crown and scepter found at his feet.
