He was one of the most popular kings of France.

He held in high esteem the people, thinking that their prosperity would benefit all. So it often quoted that he wanted that every peasant shoud have a hen in his pot.

He encouraged trade and crafts. He abolished taxes which were levied between provinces thus encouraging commerce.

He brought peace between religious factions, turned down some feudal privileges and did what was unheard of until him - bought back provinces instead of conquering them.

It was so popular that his march was chosen by Restauration Monarchy as official anthem.
