…Tyre, which had withstood the siege, and Saladin's army, desiring more profitable conquests, had moved on south to Caesarea, Arsuf, and Jaffa.
Meanwhile, Conrad has sent out appeals for aid to the West, including propaganda drawings of the horses of Saladin's army stabled (and urinating) in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
The sultan has turned his attention to other tasks, but tries to negotiate the surrender of Tyre by treaty, as in mid-1188 the first reinforcements from Europe had arrived at Tyre by sea.
Under the terms of the treaty, Saladin will, among other things, release King Guy, whom he had captured at Hattin.
This will escalate the conflict between Guy, who is blamed for the catastrophe of Hattin, and Conrad, who has successfully defended Tyre from the subsequent invasion.
