A Tenth Crusade?

Could there have been a tenth crusade? By which I mean in the classic middle ages style, lots of nations comming together. As far as I know the ninth was abit of a draw, the west din't get what they wanted and those then in The Holy Land didn't beat them.
By the 1300's the west was much more intrested in fighting each other than having another bash in the east.
I wonder what it would be like if Edward III of Henry IV, of England, wanted or needed to have a go.

What would it take to happened, why and when?

(If you know what I mean).
 
Basically, it would take interest on the part of the rulers of the time, and the opportunity.

Henry IV apparently wanted to crusade, as did Henry V, for instance.

But as you noted, Europe is caught up battling itself.

I'm not addressing the issue of those crusades succeeding - for purposes of your question, them being launched would be enough, yes?
 
European rulers viewed crusading like fat people viewed dieting. Something they've done in the past without much real success and that they're going to try again Real Soon Now.
