February 1250 CE

The crusaders, after several attempts, finally build a pontoon bridge.

A force led by Louis IX's brother Robert I of Artois succeeds in crossing the Canal of Ashmum (known today by the name al-Bahr al-Saghir) and launches a surprise attack against the Egyptian camp in Gideila, two miles away from Al Mansurah.

Emir Fakhr ad-Din is killed during the sudden attack and the Egyptian troops retreat to Al Mansurah as the crusaders proceed towards the town.
