Eighth Crusade
Crusade against Ifriqiya in 1270
The Eighth Crusade was the second Crusade launched by Louis IX of France, this one against the Hafsid dynasty in Ifriqiya in 1270. It is also known as the Crusade of Louis IX Against Tunis or the Second Crusade of Louis. The Crusade did not see any significant fighting as Louis died of dysentery shortly after arriving on the shores of Tunisia. The Treaty of Tunis was negotiated between the Crusaders and the Hafsids.
