Rachel suum videns
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rachel suum videns is a papal bull issued by Pope Gregory IX on 17 November 1234 calling for a crusade to the Holy Land and ordering Dominicans and Franciscans to preach in favour of it.[1] It was issued before the truce between Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor and the Egyptian Sultan, Al-Kamil, was due to expire.[2] It was the key driver of recruitment for the Barons' Crusade.
