#Crusades #Mamluks #BattleOfMansoura #LouisIX #MedievalHistory n 1248, King Louis IX of France launched the Seventh Crusade to reclaim Jerusalem, targeting Egypt. After capturing Damietta, he advanced towards Cairo but faced fierce resistance from the Egyptians, led by the cunning Sultan al-Salih Ayyub and later by the Mamluk general Baybars. A reckless charge by Louis's brother Robert led to disaster, resulting in the Crusaders' defeat at Mansoura. Louis was captured, marking a turning point in the Crusades and the rise of the Mamluks.
