Years: 1218 - 1218
May
Frederick II, a former pupil of Pope Honorius, evades his crusading vow because of a complex papal-imperial dispute over Sicily.
The king opposes Honorius for perpetuating Innocent's desire to bring Sicily under the rule of the papacy.
Thus, the first contingents of the Fifth Crusade had left without Frederick.
Nor have they accomplished anything significant until the arrival of a Frisian fleet with more German crusaders enables a force to set out for Egypt in May 1218 under the leadership of John of Brienne.
An attack on Egypt has been in the planning since the time of the Third Crusade, not as the objective of permanent conquest but as a strike at the heart of Ayyubid power in Egypt and a bargaining point for the recovery of Jerusalem.
