Book Synopsis The Seventh Crusade, 1244-1254 by : Peter Jackson
Book excerpt: The Seventh Crusade, led by King Louis IX of France, was the last major expedition for the recovery of the Holy Land actually to reach the Near East and its failure had wide repercussions both in the West and in Egypt and Palestine. This volume comprises translations of the principal documents and of extracts from narrative sources - both Muslim and Christian - relating to the crusade, and includes many texts, notably the account of Ibn Wasil, not previously available in English.
