Alexandrian Crusade

Years: 1365 - 1366

The brief Alexandrian Crusade, also called the sack of Alexandria,occurs in October 1365 and is led by Peter I of Cyprus against Alexandria.

Relatively devoid of religious impetus, it differs from the more prominent Crusades in that it seems to have been motivated largely by economic interests.
