final thoughts.
- The Crusade took place because the concerns over the level of power that the remaining Crusader States had.
- 1291 was the official year of the end of the fighting in the Holy Land when the city of Acre, the last Crusader base in Palestine, fell.
Church View: the 7th and 8th Crusades were complete disasters. Louis IX died before he could reach the goal of the 8th crusade which was to establish an order.

PAIGE'S THOUGHTS
- This crusade seemed very simple, and a little pointless since nothing was really achieved.
KARA'S THOUGHTS
- I think that this crusade was not necessary because no big issue was resolved, war causes division, this crusade did not bring anyone together.
OLIVIA'S THOUGHTS
- I think that this crusade was not necessary. louis was, in a way, forced into it by Charles. His army was not ready for its defeat at tunis. there was a lot of loss with no significant gain.
