- Muslim soldiers of Acre, their wives and their children-died under the swords of the Frankish knights that day.
The Franks now marched towards Jerusalem, but it was summer and it was hot. They tried to stay near their ships which were sailing down the coast. But Saladin's men never stopped attacking them. Richard's men were brave and they went on,
but the army could march only five miles a day. At Arsuf the Franks won a small battle, but the war wasn't over.
