He may justly be considered as the restoi'er of royalty, which was far from having recovered under the first successors of Hugh Capet, the power and splendor which it had wholly lost under the last Carolingians. Watching over the safety of his subjects and tranquil- lity of his kingdom, constantly threatened by the turbulence of the vassals ; he forced the lord of Bourbon to yield ; de- fended the bishop of Clermont against the count of Auvergne ; placed himself as umpire between the pretenders... to the in- heritance of the count of Flanders ; and destroyed the for- tresses in which the lords of Coucy and St. Brisson had heaped up the products of their robberies. Without, he sustained vigorously against Henry I. of England, a war which had begun by the entrance of the English into Gisors (v. No. 263). The king of England victorious at Brenneville (1119), succeeded in inducing the emperor Henry V. to take up arms in his favor, and France was menaced with a formidable invasion : but Lewis col- lected a powerful force, and made such good preparation that the invaders retired with precipitation (1124).
