I was doing a wiki-walk spurred on by a couple of the Byzantine TLs out there, and ended up at the page for the Eighth Crusade. It's intriguing that King Louis would be interested in pursuing an indirect, almost subtle strategy to regain the Levant for the crusader states and yet still be so over-eager or ambitious to launch it all at the wrong time.

Particularly interesting is that it was believed the Hafsid ruler Muhammad I al-Mustansirwas not only a candidate for conversion to Christianity, but one likely enough to encourage a crusade upon Tunis. Granted, he had ties to Spain and formerly vassalage to a Sicilian King, but he took the first excuse to abandon the latter he could.

In any event, what if King Louis times his landing at Tunis a bit better, and manages to secure a clean water supply for the army? Presumably this avoids the OTL fate of death by dysentery, but is that enough to accomplish anything? Perhaps conversion is off the table, but might Al-Mustansir and Tunis return to being a vassal state of Sicily?
