Louis IX of France leads the Seventh …
Years: 1240 - 1251
Louis IX of France leads the Seventh Crusade, the last major offensive undertaken by the crusaders against Egypt, from 1248.
King Louis, along with thousands of his troops, is captured and defeated at the Battle of Fariskur by the Egyptian army led by the Ayyubid Sultan Turanshah and supported by the Bahariyya Mamluks led by Faris ad-Din Aktai, Baibars al-Bunduqdari, Qutuz, Aybak and Qalawun.
The king is ransomed for approximately fifty thousand gold bezants, a sum equal to the entire annual revenue of France.
Turanshah is assassinated at Fariskur itself shortly after the battle and the Mamluks become the new rulers of Egypt.
