Biography

Blessed Charles of Blois, also known as Charles de Blois, was born in 1320 in the noble Chatillon family as the son of Guy de Chatillon, Count of Blois, and Margaret, sister of King Philip VI of France. From a young age, Charles felt a strong calling to join the Franciscan friars, drawn by their devotion to poverty, humility, and service to God. However, his responsibilities and duties in the political realm prevented him from pursuing this path.
