825 years ago, Balian of Ibelin surrendered Jerusalem to Saladin, after threatening the Saracen ruler that he would burn Jerusalem were he not to offer terms.

 

It's also the feast of the Guardian Angels, and my 17th birthday.

I'm mostly a Crusade nut, although I'm fond of other periods. Mostly though, I was researching the historic (in)accuracy of Kingdom of Heaven, and came across that date; since it's my birthday, I remembered it.

To everyone (including Velox, again), thanks. ^.^
