Years: 1272 - 1272
Things now seem increasingly desperate for the crusaders, and in May 1272, Hugh III of Cyprus, the nominal king of Jerusalem, signs a ten–year truce with Baibars.
Edward is initially defiant, but an attack by a Muslim assassin in June forces him to abandon any further campaigning.
Although he manages to kill the assassin, he is struck in the arm by a dagger feared to be poisoned, and becomes severely weakened over the following months.
It not until September 24 that Edward leaves Acre for home.
