Seventh Crusade, Louis IX of France, 1248

Louis IX of France sets out on the Seventh Crusade in 1248 Image taken from Chroniques de France ou de Saint Denis. The Seventh Crusade (1248 to 1254) was disastrously led by Louis IX of France, a reaction to the loss of Jerusalem (1244) to the Moslems for the final time. The crusade was aimed at Egypt, the main Muslim power in the area. Approximately 800,000 bezants were paid in ransom for King Louis who, along with thousands of his troops, were defeated and captured by the Egyptian army led by the Ayyubid Sultan Turanshah. His crusade was a failure, but he was considered a saint by many, and his fame gave him an even greater authority in Europe than the Holy Roman Emperor. In 1270 he attempted another crusade, though it too would end in failure.
