Vox cantoris is biographical?

Louis 9th the Saint, so called after the canonization of pope Boniface 8 he has had also a biographical cantoris, he was  Jean de Joinville(1228-1317), aristocratic member and medieval man, it is evident from dates but above all to emphasis that he used to tell  biographical life of his king; same emphasis that adopted saint Bernard from Chiaravalle in his book Laus novae militiae, same wit and same way to tell, some step it explicative: “To his food he was extreme moderate, because I have never heard asked some delicacy to food or drink, as much rich men, but he took that they offered…During his conversation he was chaste because I have never heard a scurrile world, or called evil, as now is common…”, therefore we can indirectly know a superman on medieval version; same sources that mentioned Saint Bernard followed to his book, he heard cantoris in the places of Italy and Jean has took same told, but demonstration about his with very celebrative is other step: “He mixed wine to water. A time he asked me why I didn’t mixed water to wine. I answered that the doctors has said me  that I have the great head and cold stomach and it didn’t bear the wine to water. But the god king said me that they have deceived me, because if haven’t made it during my youth and I have made it during old age the gout would take me…”, also the medieval doctors known that the gout is determined by other and certainly they has said to Jean, but he though that his king was right. We must consider that Jean come to his king in 20 age old, therefore he has token by adventure and enthusiastic participation; furthermore he was very near to king, and we know it because he, partially credible but we give faith to him, he said: “Some saint worlds that the god king said to me and other. He fair e loved God over everything, and he has been favored to all he made…as our God is died to his people, so Saint Louis has risked his life and he has faced great dangers to people of his reign…”, certainly bullshits, but we can understand what was with of Jean, he has the 20 age old and enthusiasm, therefore that isn’t from biographical told is evident to other motives. Certainly it is biographical told is false and solemn alone; but we can deduce what was spirit of twenty years old during 1248.
