The End of the Crusades
Despite the great Crusades led by Frederick II and St. Louis of France, the
Christians were driven from the Levantine ports in 1292. The Knights of St. John
established a new base at Rhodes (1309-1522), and the Kings of Jerusalem carried on
the struggle from Cyprus as late as 1365.
