Jerusalem’s citadel, the Tower of David, surrenders…
August 1244 CE
Jerusalem’s citadel, the Tower of David, surrenders on August 23; the Crusader Christian population of the city is expelled, as are Jews.
This will trigger a call from Europe for the Seventh Crusade, but the Crusaders will never again be successful in retaking Jerusalem.
After being conquered by the Khwarezmian forces, the city is to remain under Muslim control until 1917, when the British take it from the Ottomans.
