Saladin succeeds in breaking through the Christian …
Years: 1191 - 1191
February
Saladin succeeds in breaking through the Christian lines and reaching the city on February 13, so that he can replace the exhausted defenders with a new garrison; the old garrison would otherwise have all died of disease.
Conrad of Montferrat attempts an attack by sea on the Tower of Flies, but adverse winds and rocks below the surface prevent his ship getting close enough to do significant damage.
