In 1248, Louis led a crusade to the Holy Land. He was defeated in Egypt and taken prisoner. The Moslems released him after he agreed to pay a large ransom. Louis led another crusade in 1270, but died in northern Africa when a plague broke out in his army. He was considered an ideal ruler. Even his enemies admired him for his fairness. Louis was cannonized by Pope Boniface VIII in 1297.
