The Battle of Arsuf was a battle that occured roughly halfway
between Acre and Jerusalem, near the coast of the Mediterranean
during the Third Crusade. The Crusaders, along with the Knights
Templar and the Knights Hospitaller and lead by RIchard the
Lionheart, faced the Muslims under Saladin. The Battle was a
triumph for the Crusading forces. Numbers on each side were roughly
equal (20,000) although casualties weren't: approximately 700
Crusaders dead for approximately 7,000 Muslims dead, including 32
of their Emirs.
