Years: 1191 - 1191
August
It is now up to Richard and Saladin to finalize the surrender of the city.
The Christians begin to rebuild Acre’s defenses, and Saladin collects money to pay for the ransom of the imprisoned garrison.
Saladin delivers the first of the three planned payments and prisoner exchanges on August 11, but Richard rejects this because certain Christian nobles are not included.
The exchange is broken off and further negotiations are unsuccessful.
Richard had also insisted on the handover of Philip's share of the prisoners, whom the French king had entrusted to his kinsman Conrad of Montferrat.
Conrad reluctantly agrees, under pressure.
Richard, impatient to move toward Jerusalem, thinks that Saladin had delayed too much, and on August 20 has twenty-seven thousand of the Muslim prisoners from the garrison of Acre, including wives and children, decapitated.
Saladin responds in like kind, killing all of the Christian prisoners he has captured.
Thus, the truce arrangements are voided, and Saladin does not return the True Cross.
Richard and his army on August 22 leave the city, given in custody to the crusaders Bertram de Verdun and Stephen de Lonchamp.
