Continued Crusading Efforts in the Levant After Acre's Fall

The loss of Acre in 1291 did not signify the end of crusading activities in the Levant. Instead, these efforts persisted well into the following centuries, with Western European powers still attempting to influence and control parts of the Holy Land. Key historical accounts of this era, such as Kenneth Setton's "History of the Crusades, Volume III. The Fourteenth and Fifteen Centuries" and Norman Housley's "The Later Crusades, 1274-1580: From Lyons to Alcazar" and "The Crusading Movement, 1274–1700," provide comprehensive narratives of the numerous military campaigns that occurred, highlighting the enduring nature of these conflicts.

Crusades Beyond the Muslim Front

The scope of the crusades broadened in the late 13th and early 14th centuries to include internal Christian conflicts. Pope Boniface VIII proclaimed a crusade against Frederick III of Sicily, leading to the Peace of Caltabellotta, which affirmed Frederick's rule. Another internal crusade was waged against the Colonna Cardinals in 1298, aimed at diminishing the influence of the Colonna family. These events demonstrate the expansion of the term "crusade" to encompass internal political disputes within Christendom, alongside traditional religious warfare.

Christian Expansion in the Mediterranean Through Military Campaigns

The 14th century witnessed several military campaigns that extended Christian territories in the Mediterranean. The Almogavars, seasoned from the War of the Sicilian Vespers, formed the Catalan Company and gained control over the Duchy of Athens and Thebes. The Knights Hospitaller, through their crusade from 1306 to 1310, secured a base on the island of Rhodes. These military actions reflect the ongoing ambitions of Christian powers to expand their influence in strategic regions.

Crusades Targeting Catalans and Turkish Powers

The 14th century also saw crusades against Christian entities, such as the failed campaign against the Catalan Grand Company from 1330 to 1332. Concurrently, the Naval Crusade of the Holy League in 1332–1333 aimed at the Aydinid Turkish fleet, indicating the persistent conflict with Turkish powers in the Aegean Sea. The Holy League of Clement VI in 1343 and the Smyrna Crusade in 1344 were successful naval operations against Smyrna, emphasizing the significance of naval strength in crusading strategies.

Crusading Activity in the Late 14th Century Amidst the Great Schism

The second half of the 14th century continued to see crusading endeavors, though with mixed outcomes. The Crusade of Humbert II of Viennois in 1346 and the campaign against Francesco Ordelaffi from 1355 to 1357 were part of the ongoing Christian military presence in the region. This period was also marked by the Great Schism, which led to several smaller crusades, including those against Charles III of Naples in 1382, Despenser's Crusade in 1383, and John of Gaunt's campaign in 1387. These were influenced by the schism within the Church and the complex political dynamics of Europe.

The Waning of Crusading Zeal in the Late Medieval Period

The final crusades of the medieval era, such as the Mahdia Crusade in 1390 and the Crusade of Nicopolis in 1396, exhibited a noticeable decline in enthusiasm and effectiveness. The Mahdia Crusade, led by Louis II de Bourbon, aimed at Barbary pirates but achieved limited success. The Crusade of Nicopolis, despite being a significant multinational effort, ended in a catastrophic defeat and signaled the end of the Second Bulgarian Empire. The solo effort of Marshal Boucicaut to Constantinople in 1399 had minimal impact on the broader geopolitical context.

The End of the Crusading Era and the Fall of Constantinople

The 15th century marked the concluding phase of the crusading period, with the Fall of Constantinople in 1453 serving as a watershed event. Subsequent crusades, such as Nicholas V's in 1455–1456 and the Genoese defense of Chios in 1455–1457, were responses to the rising Ottoman Empire. Despite these efforts, the crusading movement was unable to stem the Ottoman tide, and the period following the fall of Constantinople witnessed the gradual cessation of crusades as a defining element of European international policy.
