The partial collapse of Acre’s walls on…
January 1191 CE
The partial collapse of Acre’s walls on January 6, 1191, leads to many Christian attempts at overrunning the Muslim garrisons.
Saladin’s army is now so large that it is impossible for any more Crusaders to arrive by land, and winter means that no more supplies or reinforcements can arrive by sea.
In the Christian camp, the leaders have begun to succumb to the epidemics.
Theobald of Blois and Stephen of Sancerre have died, and Frederick of Swabia also dies, on January 20, 1191.
Henry of Champagne struggles with sickness for many weeks before recovering.
Patriarch Eraclius also dies during the siege, but the date is unknown.
