3 unusual facts about History of Jerusalem during the Crusader period


History of Jerusalem during the Crusader period

The Ayyubid ruler of Syria, Al-Mu'azzam, who, until that time had been determined to rehabilitate fortifications and buildings in Jerusalem, decided to systematically destroy the Crusader fortifications in the Levant in general and Jerusalem in particular.

The Church of St. Anne became a madrasa, and other churches were destroyed and their stones used to repair damage from the siege.

The Sixth Crusade put Jerusalem back under Crusader rule (1229–1244), until the city was captured by the Khwarazmian dynasty.
