1105 CE
The third Battle of Ramla (or Ramleh) takes place on August 27, 1105 between the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Fatimids of Egypt.
The town of Ramla lies on the road from Jerusalem to Ascalon, the latter of which is the largest Fatimid fortress in Palestine.
From Ascalon the Fatimid vizier, Al-Afdal Shahanshah, launches almost annual attacks into the newly founded Crusader kingdom from 1099 to 1107.
Of the three battles the Crusaders fight at Ramla early in the twelfth century, the third is the most bloody.
