Another attempt to breach the walls fails…
December 1190 CE
Another attempt to breach the walls fails on December 31.
Because Saladin can neither enter the city of Acre nor dislodge the crusaders, by winter of 1190-91 neither side has made progress, but the crusaders have suffered serious losses from disease and famine.
At this time, some German merchants from Bremen and Lübeck, seeking to serve a hospital during the siege, form a fraternity to nurse the sick here.
It will become the Brothers of the Hospital of Saint Mary of the Teutons in Jerusalem: the Teutonic Knights.
