BRITAIN HISTORY
THIRD CRUSADES KING RICHARD I ACRE JERUSALEM
The Siege of Acre was the first significant counter attack by King Guy of Jerusalem to the
losses the kingdom experienced to Saladin, leader of the Muslims in Syria and Egypt and
formed part of what later became known as the Third Crusade. The siege lasted from
August 1189 until July 1191, in which time the city's coastal position meant the attacking
Latin force were unable to fully invest the city and Saladin was unable to fully relieve it
with both sides receiving supplies and resources by sea. Finally, it was a key victory fo
r the Crusaders and a serious setback for Saladin's ambition to destroy the Crusader
States.
