In 1403, the French commander Marshal Boucicaut launched a military expedition against the Mamluk Sultanate. The Crusaders aimed to attack the Levantine coast. During the campaign, several attacks were launched on coastal cities, including Beirut, which sacked Venetian spices. The expedition failed to achieve anything besides the resumption of hositilies between Venice and Genoa.
