Good morning. Today we commemorate the Recapture of Jerusalem in 1187 by the Ayyubids under Saladin. After a siege of 12 days, Balian of Ibelin surrendered the city to Saladin. The Siege of Jerusalem was a large part of the plot of the film Kingdom of Heaven from 2005. https://t.co/fA7IShY62K #HerinnameJeruzalem #Saladin #Geschiedenis (translated)
