 A new crusade was discussed at the Council of Lyon in 1245 by Pope Innocent IV.The council deposed Frederick II, so no help could be expected from the empire, but King Louis IX of France had already vowed to go on crusade.Louis arrived in Cyprus in 1248, where he gathered an army of his own men, including his brothers Robert of Artois, Charles of Anjou, and Alphonse of Poitiers, and those of Cyprus and Jerusalem, led by the Ibelin family John of Jaffa, Guy of Ibelin, and Balian of Beirut.
