In 1191, Saladin demolished the fort of Ascalon, however it was swiftly rebuilt by Richard as a primary fortress to Jaffa. When Saladin attempted to recapture Jaffa in 1192, he was thwarted by the English King's defence. The present picture depicts Richard I 'unhorsing' Saladin in this battle, a moment retold in many chivalric tales. The Crusaders, however, failed to reclaim Jerusalem. Richard and Saladin entered a treaty whereby Ascalon's fortifications were to be torn down, and Jerusalem was to be opened for Christian pilgrims.
