The name of al-Mansurah (Arabic for "the Victorious") that dates from an earlier period was consolidated after this battle. The city still holds the name of al-Mansurah today, as the capital of the Egyptian governorate, Daqahlia. The National Day of Daqahlia Governorate (capital al-Mansurah) on February 8, marks the anniversary of the defeat of Louis IX in 1250. The house of Ibn Lokman, which is now the only museum in al-Mansurah, is open to the public and houses articles that used to belong to the French monarch, including his personal thirteenth century toilet.
