The Fifth Crusade started in 1213 and ended in 1221. It was again, an attempt at conquering Jerusalem and the Holy Land.

The Sixth Crusade started in 1228 and did not involve much fighting. That crusade was one of the shorter ones and ended only a year later.

The Seventh Crusade was a crusade led by Louis IX of France from 1248 to 1254. About 50,000 gold bezants (equal to the entire annual yearly income of France) was paid in ransom for King Louis who, along with thousands of his troops, were captured and defeated by the Egyptian army.

The Eighth Crusade started in 1270 by King Louis IX. Louis was persuaded by his brother to attack Tunis first. However, when they landed in Africa a lot of the army became sick because of the polluted water. Louis died on August 25, leaving Charles in full command of the army. Louis' last word was "Jerusalem". The Eighth Crusade could be considered successful since he recieved trade rights with Tunis before his death.  Books written on the [|Crusades]!!!
