Pedro Fernández and Fernán Sánchez, sons of…

1269 CE

Pedro Fernández and Fernán Sánchez, sons of James I of Aragon who had been given command of part of the fleet, had continued on their way to Acre, where they arrive in December 1269.

They find that Baibars has broken his truce with the Kingdom of Jerusalem and is making a demonstration of his military power in front of Acre.

During the demonstration, Egyptian troops hidden in the bushes ambush a returning Frankish force which had been in Galilee.

James' sons, initially eager for a fight, change their minds after this spectacle and return home via Sicily, where Fernán Sánchez will be knighted by Charles of Anjou.
