Richard The Lionheart Massacres
The Saracens, 1191
At Acre Richard I ordered the killing of 2700 Muslim prisoners on 20 August 1191 which today would be a War Crime
=================
In the year 1187, the Muslim leader Saladin re-conquered the city of Jerusalem [see "The Crusaders Capture Jerusalem"] as well as most of the Crusader strongholds throughout the Holy Land. In response, the kings of Europe including Frederick Babarossa of Germany (who died on route), Phillip of France and Richard I of England (the Lionheart) mounted a campaign to rescue the city. The Third Crusade was underway.
