Fall of Jerusalem(Sep 20, 1187 – Oct 2, 1187)
The Siege of Jerusalem lasted from September
20 to October 2, 1187, when Balian of Ibelin
surrendered the city to Saladin. Earlier that
summer, Saladin had defeated the kingdom's
army and conquered several cities. The city was
full of refugees and had few defenders, and it
fell to the besieging armies. (20 sept. 1187 – 2 oct. 1187)
