Abstract: Examines Pope Gregory's central role in the crusading movement and his ability to enlist the participation of virtually all the leaders of Western Europe, the Byzantine emperor, and the Ilkhan of the Moguls to attack the Mamluk Sultan Baybars. Although Gregory's premature death put an end to his crusade plans, the book demonstrates that he left a lasting mark on crusading in the years to come.
