Seventh Crusade
Supplemental Resources
Joinville, The Life of Saint Louis, in Joinville & Villehardouin, Chronicles of the Crusades. Penguin Classics, 1963. This work is also available on-line at the Electronic Text Center at the University of Virginia. In keeping with the nature of the ETC, the document includes a number of pictures from the book itself; these are lovely to look at, but they do increase download time.
Al-Makrisi, Account of the Crusade of St. Louis. Available at the Medieval Sourcebook. This is a 14th century Arab account of Louis' crusade to Egypt. A fairly long account with lots of useful explanatory notes from the editor.
For a modern biography of the king, try J. Richard, Saint Louis, 1983.
W.C. Jordan, Louis IX and the Challenge of the Crusade, 1979.
