Cyrenaica's contribution to countering the Eighth Crusade on Tunisia 668-669H/1269-1270 G

Abstract

Abstract:

The research dealt with the topic of Cyrenaica's contribution to countering the Eighth Crusade on Tunisia, by highlighting the importance of Cyrenaica to the Islamic West and Tunisia, geographically, politically and economically, and then trying to find out the means of support provided by Cyrenaica to Tunisia, starting from the human element, military supply, and securing the way to that goal, and the problem was concentrated in the extent to which Cyrenaica contributed to repelling the attack of the Crusaders, and to try to reach a logical conclusion, the researcher used the descriptive approach to form a general idea of the aspects of the subject, and also used the analytical approach To discover, interpret and critique ideas related to research with the aim of deriving and inferring certain logical facts. By researching the sources, the researcher concluded that Cyrenaica had already contributed to the rescue of Tunisia during its Crusader invasion, but details of the nature of Tunisia's assistance remain unknown because there are no statistics to illustrate this, and Arab sources during the Middle Ages have almost abandoned that pattern.
