Battle of Jaffa, Richard the Lionheart,1192

The Battle of Jaffa, August 4, 1192, took place during the Crusades, between the army of Sultan Saladin and the Crusader forces led by Richard the Lionheart. It was the final battle of the Third Crusade, after which Saladin and Richard were able to negotiate a truce. Although the Crusaders did not regain possession of Jerusalem, Christian pilgrims were permitted entry into the city, and the Crusaders were able to retain control of a sizable strip of land stretching from Beirut to Jaffa. The battle illustrated the determined spirit of Saladin and the courage and tactical skill of Richard. Cassell's Illustrated History of England, 1865 (cropped and cleaned).
