Frederick of Swabia arrives at the beginning…
October 1190 CE
Frederick of Swabia arrives at the beginning of October with only the small remnant of Barbarossa’s army had finally reached Tyre after the emperor had drowned in the Saleph River on June 10.
To Saladin and the Muslims, who had been seriously alarmed by the approach of Frederick Barbarossa, the German emperor's death seems an act of God.
English Crusaders arrive shortly afterwards under Baldwin of Exeter, Archbishop of Canterbury.
The Count of Bar arrives in October and the Christians have a breakthrough in Haifa, which allows more food to be brought to the camp at Acre.
