Richard arrives on June 8 with an English fleet of one hundred ships (which carries eight thousand men).
He seeks a meeting with Saladin, and an armistice of three days is agreed upon so that the meeting could take place.
However, both Richard and Philip fall ill, and the meeting does not take place.
Philip had used the time before Richard’s arrival to build siege engines like the trebuchet, and now that stronger leadership from Europe has arrived, it is the city and not the Christian camp that is besieged.
The siege machines break holes into the walls of Acre, but every new breach leads to an attack from Saladin’s army, giving the garrison of Acre an opportunity to repair the damage while the Christians are distracted.
According to legend, Leopold’s tunic was blood-soaked after the fights and when he doffed his belt, a white stripe appeared.
Emperor Henry VI will later grant him the privilege to adopt these colors as his new banner, which later will become the flag of Austria.
