註釋
In 1189, Christians had covered the Holy Land for generations. King Richard I of England was determined to reclaim it. The Third Crusade (1189-1192) saw a huge alliance between European leaders to take the biblical land from Saladin, Emperor of Egypt and Syria. Crusader mettle was soon tested at Acre, a long bloody siege started by Guy of Lusignan (French Poitevin knight and son of Hugh VIII), which was to last for two years. Royal blood was not protection from the conflict. Joan of England, sister to Richard the Lionheart, was held captive by King Tancred of Sisily, whilst the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa drowned in a river.
