Crusade, Sixth

Years: 1228 - 1229

The Sixth Crusade, which starts in 1228 as an attempt to reconquer Jerusalem, begins only seven years after the failure of the Fifth Crusade.

It results in the peaceful surrender of Jerusalem to Frederick II and the beginning of greater tensions between Holy Roman Empire and Crusader States.

The Muslims relinquish Jerusalem, Nazareth, Sidon, Jaffa, and Bethlehem to the Crusaders.

but continue to retain the Temple Mount.

Jerusalem will in 1244 be captured by Khwarezm Turks, sparking the Seventh Crusade.

"In fact, if we revert to history, we shall find that the women who have distinguished themselves have neither been the most beautiful nor the most gentle of their sex."
