Battle of the Meander : ウィキペディア英語版 | Battle of the Meander
The Battle of the Meander took place in December 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 at the Büyük Menderes River (historically known as the Meander). ==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 December 1147 the army was marching across the valley of the river Maeander to reach the major port of Adalia. Odo of Deuil, who participated in the march, makes it clear that the Maeander Valley was treacherous.〔Odo of Deuil, ''De profectione Ludovici VII in Orientem'', tr. V.G. Berry (New York: W.W. Norton and Co., 1948), p. 111.〕 Its mountain crags and slopes allowed the Turks to constantly harass the Crusaders with lightning raids.
