The Mahdian Crusade, also called the Barbary Crusade or Crusade of Barbary, was a Franco-Genoese military expedition in 1390 that led to the siege of Mahdia, then a Moslem pirate stronghold in Tunisia. Froissart's Chronicles is the chief account of what was one of the last crusades. Genoa supplied the ships, supplies, 12,000 archers and 8,000 foot soldiers and France provided the knights. Both sides celebrated victory afterwards. The Berbers had repelled the invaders, and the Genoese could conduct trade with less interference. The French knights had no tangible goals but had participated for action and glory.
