September 1187 CE

Saladin indeed arrives to besiege Jerusalem in September, after he has conquered almost all of the rest of the kingdom, including Ibelin, Nablus, Ramla, and Ascalon.

The sultan feels no ill will to Balian for breaking his oath, and arranges for an escort to accompany Maria and their children to Tripoli.

As the highest ranking lord remaining in Jerusalem, Balian, as Ibn al-Athir wrote, is seen by the Muslims as holding a rank "more or less equal to that of a king."
