The Crusade of Frederick the Second

Francis of assisi travelled to dameta and arranged a meeting with the egyptian sultan camil. He hoped he could persuade the sultan to hand over jerusalem peaceably. The army marched again southward to cairoa, failed to take the city initially,. Then ran out of supplies and pulled out much as had happened with damascus many years earlier. After the failure of this fifth crusade, the holy roman emperor frederick the second, launched a sixth crusade.
