Abu Said Mirza vs Louis IX

Abu Said Mirza, a Timurid prince, conquered Samarkand and reunited the Timurid territories of Khorasan and Transoxiana under his rule. This ended a period of fragmentation following the death of Shah Rukh and restored a centralized Timurid state.

Abu Said Mirza launched a military campaign against the Aq Qoyunlu confederation under Uzun Hasan. The campaign aimed to expand Timurid influence into western Iran but ended in defeat for Abu Said.

Abu Said Mirza was captured by Uzun Hasan of the Aq Qoyunlu after a failed campaign. He was executed, ending his rule and the united Timurid state. His death led to the final fragmentation of the Timurid Empire in Khorasan and Transoxiana.

Louis IX led the Seventh Crusade to Egypt. He captured Damietta but was later defeated at the Battle of Al Mansurah. Louis was captured and held for ransom. He spent four years in the Holy Land after his release, fortifying crusader positions.

Louis IX issued a series of ordinances reforming the French royal administration and judicial system. He established the Parlement of Paris as a supreme court, prohibited private warfare, and introduced the presumption of innocence in criminal trials.

Louis IX launched the Eighth Crusade, targeting Tunis in North Africa. Shortly after arriving, an epidemic (likely dysentery or plague) swept through the crusader camp. Louis died of the disease. The crusade was abandoned soon after his death.
