  • The Battle of Arsuf took place on 7 September 1191, as part of the Third Crusade. It saw a multi-national force of Crusaders, led by Richard I of England, defeat a significantly larger army of the Ayyubid Sultanate, led by Saladin.
    Following the Crusaders' capture of Acre, Saladin moved to intercept Richard's advancing army just outside of the city of Arsuf as it moved along the coast from Acre towards Jaffa. In an attempt to disrupt the cohesion of the Crusader army as they mobilized, the Ayyubid force launched a series of harassing attacks that were ultimately unsuccessful at breaking their formation. As the Crusaders crossed the plain to the north of Arsuf, Saladin committed the whole of his army to a pitched battle. The Crusader army maintained a defensive formation as it marched, with Richard awaiting the ideal moment to mount a counterattack. However, after the Knights Hospitaller launched a charge at the Ayyubids, Richard was forced to commit his entire force to support the attack. The Crusader charge broke the Ayyubid army; Richard was able to restrain his cavalry from a rash pursuit, regrouping them to achieve victory.
    Following the engagement, the Crusaders secured control over the central coast of Palestine, including the city of Jaffa.

      The Crusaders killed fellow Christians, murdering clerics and violating nuns, looting churches and cathedrals, sacking Constantinople the centre of Eastern Christianity... All for being the wrong kind of Christian. They also killed a lot ofJews.....Is that what you want to return to? Crusader only has positive connotations in Catholic Western Europe.

    Interesting, but I wish you would've shown those two first knights charging the opponent on horseback followed by the rest of the Hospitaller & French knights on horseback in the rear of the column. It would have been more historically accurate than a general Hospitaller Crusader foot soldier charge.
