Guardians of the Faith Acre 1191

The siege of Acre was a major battle of the Third Crusade. The siege lasted two years, involving most of the prominent Christian forces on the Holy Land and meant a serious defeat for the Muslim leader, Saladin, whose hopes of quickly destroying the full Christian kingdom of Outremer vanished into thin air. During the siege of Acre, several armies got reunited under the Christian contingent commanded by Richard the Lionheart.

This vignette portrays the moment of epic triumph in which the Christian forces finally managed to enter the fortress. Finally, the Guardians of the Faith, represented by the military orders’ soldiers were able to fly the flag of the cross over the battered city.
