Prince Edward decided to continued on to Acre, the last Crusader outpost. There he began the Ninth and Final Crusade. He succeeded in capturing Nazareth and agreed to a treaty with the Sultan of Egypt for Christians and pilgrims. In 1272 CE Prince Edward returned home to England and was crowned King Edward I on the 19th of August 1274. |
