Battle of Hattin

The battle of Hattin was fought in 583/1187 between the forces of Salah al-Din and the combined armies of the Crusader states, at the Horns of Hattin on the heights west of Tiberias. The Encyclopaedia of Islam describes it as the battle that destroyed the power of the Crusaders: some of the Frankish troops, tormented by heat and thirst, were cut down and others fled, and the rest withdrew to the eastern summit. The article on Hattin dates it to 5 July 1187 and the article on Salah al-Din to Saturday 24 Rabi' II 583, equal to 4 July 1187. Many towns and strongholds then surrendered, and Jerusalem on 27 Rajab 583.
