Battle of Ephesus (1147)
The Battle of Ephesus took place on December 24, 1147, during the Second Crusade. The French crusader army, led by Louis VII of France, successfully fended off an ambush by the Seljuks of Rum just outside the town of Ephesus.
==Background==
King Louis VII led the French army on the march across Europe and Asia Minor to Jerusalem. The army decided to march along the coast of Asia Minor, because the defeat of Emperor Conrad of Germany and his army at Dorylaeum had made it clear that marching inland was too dangerous. In early December 1147 the army stopped to rest〔William of Tyre, ''A History of Deeds Done Beyond the Sea'', trans. E.A. Babcock and A.C. Krey (Columbia University Press, 1943), vol. 2, p. 174.〕 at the ancient town of Ephesus before continuing through the Meander Valley to reach the major port of Adalia.〔Tyerman, Christopher, ''God's War: A New History of the Crusades'', (Penguin, 2006), p. 326.〕 Upon arrival at Ephesus, Louis was warned by messengers of the Byzantine Emperor Manuel, that the surrounding area was overrun by Seljuk Turks and that it would be wiser for Louis to garrison his army in the Imperial strongholds for the time being, especially considering that he could not rely on the local Greek population for intelligence or military help. Louis refused to listen to this advice and led his troops out of Ephesus at the end of the month.〔Odo of Deuil, ''De profectione Ludovici VII in Orientem'', tr. V.G. Berry (New York: W.W. Norton and Co., 1948), p. 109.〕
