Crusades - Louis sent an embassy to the Mongols in Iran
Time: 1249
Place: Iran
Details: Politics in the 13th-century eastern Mediterranean were complex, with numerous powerful and interested parties. The French were led by the very devout Louis IX of France and his ambitiously expansionist brother Charles I of Naples. Communication with the Mongols was hindered by the enormous distances involved. Louis sent an embassy to the Mongols in Iran in 1249 seeking a Franco-Mongol alliance.
