Preceding this event were Pope Innocent IV's power struggle with Emperor Frederick II and Louis IX's promise to lead a Crusade. Ostensibly this event was precipitated by the activities of the Mongols (like nearly all crusades). Pope Innocent IV called for a crusade, though the response was lukewarm at best (Europe having been embroiled already in a number of internal conflicts). However, Louis IX (aka "Louis the Pious") committed in 1245, making sure to have his bravery and religious zeal documented by Jean de Joinville in what became the principal biography of the king.
