“Then the French entered the city [of Jerusalem] at the noonday hour of Friday, the day of the week
when Christ redeemed the whole world on the cross. . .All the heathen, completely terrified, changed
their boldness to swift flight the narrow streets of the city. . . some fled into the Tower of David;
others shut themselves in the temple of the Lord and of Solomon, where in the halls a very great attack
was made on them. . . Within this Temple, about ten thousand were beheaded. Not one of them was
allowed to live. They did not spare the women and children.”
Chronicle of the First Crusade, M.E. McGinty, trans., 1941
This document refers to Saladin’s takeover of Jerusalem in the Third Crusade
Saladin decided that neither Frankish Christians, nor the ones of oriental heritage should be pursued.
Saladin placed guards around the church of the Holy grave as well as other holy places belonging to
the non-Muslims, to avoid them being destroyed. Saladin encouraged the Franks to stay, and invited
Jewish families to move back in to Jerusalem. Saladin’s tax collectors were shocked by the fact that
their leader allowed Franks, and others who wanted to leave Jerusalem, to depart without returning
goods they had stolen. Firstly, Saladin said, it will be difficult to prove what is actually plundered, and
secondly; he had not taken the city to enrich himself on material wealth.
Saladin let al-Aqsa, which was previously turned into a church, once again become a mosque after
having the walls sprinkled with rose-water. Then Saladin let the slaves free without them having to
pay, further on he pro-claimed that he would not take a ransom for the richest. Some of his trusted
men objected loudly. Saladin answered them: “Christians throughout the world will remember the
good deeds we have done for them."
