About the battle
The Battle of Mansurah was fought from 8 to 11 February 1250, between crusaders led by King Louis IX of France and Ayyubid forces led by Vizier Fakhr al-Din ibn al-Shaykh, Qutuz, Faris al-Din Aktay and Baybars . It was fought in present-day Mansoura, Egypt. The Crusader force was enticed into entering the town where it was set upon by the Muslim force. The Crusaders withdrew in disorder to their encampment where they were besieged by the Egyptians. The Crusaders broke out and withdrew to Damietta in early April.
