Montjoie Saint Denis!

Common card · No. 368290

Montjoie! Saint Denis! (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃tʒwa sɛ̃ dəni]) was the battle cry and motto of the Kingdom of France. It allegedly refers to Charlemagne's legendary banner, the Oriflamme, which was also known as the "Montjoie" and was kept at the Abbey of Saint Denis, though alternative explanations exist. The battle-cry was first known to be used during the 12th century reign of Louis VI of France, the first royal bearer of the Oriflamme.
