William of Rubruck 1253 quest to the Mongol Empire

King IX Louis of France, had since 1249 campaigned "The Seventh Crusade" to the middle-east. On the 6th of April in the year 1250, King Louis lost his entire army at the Battle of Fariskur, and was captured and taken prisoner by the Egyptians. His release was eventually negotiated, in return for a ransom of 400,000 livres tournois .

The Mongols then conquered all areas where France crusaders had failed, killing the Muslim Sultan Ayyubid, along with almost the entire dynasty lineage. The political powers among the remaining Muslim orders then shifted to a living wife left, Shajar al-Durr, which quickly made her in a position of Queen. Her political and military power then supported a remaining army force of the Mamluks.

A decade was then spent from 1250-1260, to create a French-Mongol Alliance [see: Franco-Mongol Alliance online], with reports saying the Mongols had favored Christian cities during several campaign sweeps south. The Christian King of Armenia [Hethum 1], had submitted requests in 1247, strongly advising to Christian monarchs, to immediately engage in creating a "Christian-Mongol Alliance". Prince Bohemond VI of the Crusader State of Antioch, submitted late in the year 1260.

In 1253, William of Rubruck was sent by King Louis IX of France to the Mongol tribute capital of KaraKorum [Khara Khorum, Caracorum], which was where country representatives, regime heads, clan representatives, and wealthy aristocratic requests were made and payed.

William of Rubruck traveled through Constantinople on an expedition to the Mongol Khan Empire, organized after the Mongol Invasion of Poland, and while Mongol campaigns were sweeping towards Baghdad [Invasion of Islam 1258].

William of Rubruck then beseeched Great Batu Khan not to press an invasion against particular Catholic cities who were willing to pay for there protection. Batu Khan then sent the requests to Mangu Khan (Mongke Khan) [passed away before the Invasion of Egypt], who was the brother of Khubilai Khan.
 
Later around 1269, Marco Polo and exhibition would be sent from Catholic Venice, and serve the Great Khubilai Khan as a liaison from the Catholic Church.

Khublai Khan was also the most politically powerful Khan of the time, and headed over the regions of Mongolia, China, and Tibet, and who's brother was Great Hulagu Khan, over Iran, Armenia, and Egypt [Hulagu Khan also sacked Baghdad].

Attempts to cement an alliance continued through negotiations, through military favors of the Mongol Ilkhanate in Iran, from Hulagu Khan, over Abaqa, Arghun, Ghazan, and Öljaitü, with only limited success, who favored a constant review of relations. The Mongols invaded Syria several times between 1281 and 1312, proving little need for any permanent military alliance. The Mongol Ilkhanate who had returned to Syria in 1303, invaded unopposed down the Levant until they reached Damascus. The Crusaders by then had lost all campaigns in the Holy Land, returning to homelands.

◘ Health Interests

#1 tip Trust in Medical help has lowered since year 2000, especially when it comes to Cancer Treatments. Promises unkept for cures and breakthroughs in new research never applied, or with poor results, for over 40 years has raised skepticism. Following the most advanced tech nations instead of relying on easy access convenient hospitalization has been recommended for those looking for better medical help.

#1 tipA Community report says to "Beware of TAP WATER" [Tap Water can be Dangerous]. Outside the island, there are industrialized cities with real toxic issues. On the surface the City may have great rides, food, highways, and parks, but have under it all "toxic or environmental health issues" due to old Landfills and Water Infrastructure being ignored. If an area has a waste smell, the ground nearby could be a covered over Landfill where a town has expanded, buried the old one, and moved to a new location. Buying clean bottled water is an important choice, and will save a person's health.
◘ Community Interests

#1 tipPacific Islander American Community report on "Banking Overdraft Schemes" which resequence transactions on lower income accounts to make the accounts overdraft. In the Banking Scheme, transactions are being posted in an order that benefits the banking fees, and costing the customer possibly hundreds of dollars. The Banking Overdraft Schemes have been reported to still be attempted. Keep your money in a trusted Bank. Do not just sign up to any bank.

#1 tip Check out your local Library for community events. Also a Library can subscribe to Polynesian Newspapers and Magazines so that you and your kids can read them. Organizing a way to have books and media content (movies and news) able for your community to check out is important. Organize your local Library on how to get things started. Classes in public school are also being asked by local community for more Pacific languages and culture to be taught.
