The Battle of Fariskur was the last major battle of the Seventh Crusade. The battle was fought on 6 April 1250, between the Crusaders led by King Louis IX of France (later Saint Louis) and Egyptian forces led by Turanshah of the Ayyubid dynasty. Following the Crusaders' defeat at the Battle of Al Mansurah in February 1250, the Battle of Fariskur resulted in the complete defeat of the Crusader army and the capture of Louis IX.
