Open Question

The Seventh Crusade's defining battle at Mansurah and the surrender of Louis IX's army afterward are described in detail by the eyewitness chronicler Jean de Joinville and by the historians who follow him, but none converts that narrative into a bounded total across combat losses, disease and the army's captivity.
