What happens to my account if I do not name a beneficiary? If you do not designate any beneficiaries or all your primary and contingent beneficiaries predecease you, your surviving spouse generally becomes your beneficiary. If you do not have a surviving spouse, payment of your account is made to your estate.
How did the last crusade end? The last crusade (the Ninth) ended in 1272. It was crushed as a result of a great weakening of spirit and will amongst crusaders, infighting between various factions and count â¦ ries in the crusader ranks and the ever-growing strength and determination of the opponents - Baibars and Mamluks.
It is a terrible irony that the Crusades, which were a direct result of the Catholic desire to rescue the Orthodox people, drove the two furtherâand perhaps irrevocablyâapart. The remainder of the 13th centuryâs Crusades did little better. The Fifth Crusade (1217-1221) managed briefly to capture Damietta in Egypt, but the Muslims eventually defeated the army and reoccupied the city. St. Louis IX of France led two Crusades in his life.
