1145
1149
1152
1160
Answer
Louis VII set off for the Second Crusade in 1147 alongside his German counterpart, Conrad III. However, disputes between the two monarchs and subsequent military failures, including the disastrous siege of Damascus in 1148, led to Conrad's early departure and Louis's decision to follow suit a year later, in 1149.
