Maria Kemerling, Makayla DePriest, Jaelyn Haggard, & Kylie Miller

What is a crusade?A crusade is a

medieval military expedition. It was

practically a mini-war.

Why did this begin?Louis IX organized this

crusade. His purpose was to come to the aid

of remnants of the crusade states in Syria.

Who fought in the crusade?

The Mamluks and Louis fought in this crusade.

Where did it take place?

The crusade took place in states of Syria and

Tunisia.

What were the effects of the

crusade?The crusades had a big effect

on the European Middle Ages. Much of the continent was united under the power of the Papacy, but, by the fourteenth century, the

development of centralized bureaucracies was well on its

way in France, England, Burgundy, Portugal and

much more.

How did it end?Christians were allowed to

love peacefully in the region after the crusade. They thought it achieved

partial success due to that fact. For Louis’ efforts, he was later sainted and a

city in Missouri was named after him: Saint

Louis, MO.

Did another crusade follow this? What

and why?There was not another

crusade after this crusade. Although, this crusade started after

the seventh about sixteen years later.
