The Acre Citadel was a huge fortress located in the southern rich district of Acre, as well as the main residence of Richard I of England during the Third Crusade.
History
The citadel was essentially a small town that was heavily fortified against outside attacks, with huge walls and battlements. It contained the quarters of William of Montferrat, a Templar, who governed the area whilst Richard was absent fighting the Saracens.[1]
In 1191, a team of Assassins were sent by their Mentor, Al-Mualim, to keep William inside of the Citadel. Al-Mualim's team of Assassins eliminated Templar patrols, Crusaders, and William's personal bodyguard, Isembart. From him they learned that William was planning an ambush for Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. The team then disrupted the ambush, allowing Altaïr to infiltrate the heavily guarded fortress, eliminate the archers patrolling its perimeter and then assassinate William.[1][2]
A couple of years later, Altaïr and Maria Thorpe met at the top of the citadel's tower, where they made love and subsequently conceived a son.[3]
