The Ninth Crusade, led by Prince Edward of England, the future King Edward I, is often considered the last major crusade to the Holy Land. It arrived at Acre after the Eighth Crusade, led by Louis IX of France, had ended at Tunis with the king's death. Edward's force was small, and he achieved little militarily, though he carried out some raids and failed to dislodge the Mamluk sultan Baibars. He negotiated a ten-year truce, and a reported assassination attempt left him wounded. Edward returned to England in 1272, and the crusader states in the Levant fell to the Mamluks in 1291.
