Oppose, rather mildly. All the medieval French kings called Louis, Philip, John & Charles are "of France" in our article titles. Though the name Louis is no doubt especially associated with France, it does no harm to have extra clarity in the title. Plain "Louis IX" already redirects straight here. We also have Edward III of England etc. Johnbod (talk) 16:48, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Louis IX is very clearly the primary target, and we should consider consistency beyond just French monarchs; for instance, the English monarch Edward VI has no "of England", while discussion is ongoing at Edward IV of England to truncate that name. If that discussion ends up in a move, then I will support this proposed move in order to better achieve general consistency; if it does not end up in a move, then I will oppose this proposed move as there is no clear general practice, and local consistency is what we should be seeking.

Oppose "of France" clarifies and improves recognizability. It is not straightforward, with the myriad of other possibilities. And Edward should be moved back to be "of England" too. Walrasiad (talk) 07:33, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have deep concerns about the tone and neutrality of this article. It makes limited statements about the impact of his Islamophobic and antisemitic policies and actions, and frames such a fraught topic as the Crusades in a worryingly positive manner.
