An ordinance of 1270 authorized a loan of 100,000 livres tournois for the crusade that culminated in disaster before Tunis. Cf. G. Servois, “Emprunts de St. Louis en Palestine et en Afrique,” Bibliothèque de l’Ecole des Chartes, sér. IV, IV, 117. Philip III borrowed of his great vassals and from the Flemish towns (Langlois, Le règne de Philippe le Hardi, chap. v).
