In 1190, during the [[Third Crusade]], the [[Crusaders|Crusader]] armies of King [[Richard I of England]] – led by the [[Templars|Knights Templar]] – laid [[Siege of Acre|siege]] to the city and planned to poison its water supply in order to wipe out its entire population.

Acre is a coastal city located to the east of the Mediterranean Sea. It is situated in Western Galilee, in the northern area of Israel.[1]

History

Middle Ages

In 1190, during the Third Crusade, the Knights Templar led King Richard I of England's Crusader armies to lay siege to the city, planning to poison its water supply and wipe out its inhabitants. The Levantine Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad was able to stop this plot by killing the Templar commander in charge of the operation.[2] The following year, however, the city fell to the besieging Crusaders. Acre then served as the capital of the remnants of the Kingdom of Jerusalem until the end of the Crusades.[3]

It was in this city that the Christian Crusaders established a base of operations in order to stockpile weapons and troops. With this, they intended to march south towards Jaffa. From there, they planned to launch an all-out siege upon their true target, Jerusalem, which they had come from Europe to reclaim in the name of their religious faith.[3]

The Acre Citadel

The Templars, under the leadership of Grand Master Robert de Sablé, took advantage of the Crusaders' march to Jaffa to claim Acre for themselves, as part of a wider plot to control the Holy Land and establish their New World Order. Due to its occupation by the Crusaders as opposed to the Saracen-held Jerusalem and Damascus, the city became the Templars' main stronghold in the Levant for a time, and the Order maintained an active presence in each of Acre's districts.[3]

While William of Montferrat, whom King Richard had personally appointed as the city's regent, oversaw the Rich District from his citadel,[4] the Knights Hospitalier's Grand Master Garnier de Naplouse controlled the Poor District, where their fortress and hospital was located,[5] and the Knights Teutonic's Grand Master Sibrand governed the Middle District, Acre's docks area.[6] Secretly, all three men received instructions from Robert to further the Templars' overarching goals; thus, William began conscripting Acre's citizens and hoarding food to prepare the population for the Order's eventual takeover,[4] while Garnier conducted experiments on patients in an attempt to replicate the powers of an Apple of Eden,[5] and Sibrand blockaded the port with his fleet to prevent the European kingdoms from sending reinforcements.[6]

However, the Levantine Assassins soon caught wind of the Templars' operations in Acre, and Altaïr, as part of his mission assigned by Al Mualim, traveled to the city to assassinate Garnier, William, and Sibrand.[3] The local Assassin bureau's overseeing Rafiq Jabal assisted Altaïr's efforts,[3] as did an Assassin team that Al Mualim had covertly sent without telling Altaïr. Managing to keeping themselves hidden even from the Master Assassin, the team helped weaken William's citadel defenses[7][8][9] and killed his bodyguard Isembart ahead of Altaïr's assassination of the Templar.[10]

The Templars departing Acre and sailing to Cyprus

Ultimately, Altaïr succeeded in eliminating his targets, though this did not completely eradicate the Templar presence in Acre.[11][12][13] After Robert's death at Altaïr's hands during the Battle of Arsuf in September 1191,[14] the remaining Templars in the Levant relocated in October to Acre, from where they planned to sail to Cyprus and continue their plans undisturbed. Altaïr, by now the Levantine Assassins' new Mentor, learned of their intentions and led an assault on their fortress in Acre, during which he captured Maria Thorpe. However, the Assassins were too late to prevent the Templar fleet from sailing to Cyprus.[15]

In 1197, Altaïr and Maria visited Acre and its citadel, where they conceived their second son, Sef.[16]

Renaissance

In 1511, the Italian Assassins' Mentor Ezio Auditore da Firenze stayed in Acre while en route to Masyaf; there, the city's people warned him that the road to Masyaf was crawling with bandits and "foreign mercenaries". Ezio assumed the worst, believing that this was another Templar Rite, and expressed his concern in a letter to his sister Claudia.[17] A year later, Ezio and Sofia Sartor stayed in Acre during their journey from Constantinople to Masyaf, where they sought to open Altaïr's library.[18]

Districts

Poor District

The Hospitalier Fortress in the Poor District

In 1191, due to the recent siege, the Poor District was still recovering from the numerous casualties. Many dead bodies lay in the streets and alleys and around the main gate into Acre. The people also fought off disease, despair, oppression, corruption, and the memories of those lost, while the haunting stench of death filled the air. King Richard placed the entire district under the jurisdiction of the Knights Hospitalier, who governed from their fortress located at the north end of the district.[3]

Middle District

Acre's harbor in the Middle District

The Middle District was more lively, in terms of both citizenry and military presence. This district was the location of Acre's docks, a large harbor area where both troublemakers and drunken sailors could be found. Richard gave control of the district to the Knights Teutonic, who fortified the entire area due to Sibrand's paranoia that the Assassins would come to take his life.[3]

Rich District

The Acre Citadel in the Rich District

As King Richard fought Saladin and his Saracen forces, the duty of governing the entire city fell to the regent and liege-lord, William of Montferrat. The Rich District was the center of William's power, and because of this, it was the district that suffered the most under his rule. Much of the populace complained about their ill treatment, while others plotted his downfall.[3]

Within the beautiful Rich District were notable landmarks such as King Richard's citadel, of which a small keep within the fortress housed William's quarters. The citadel's interior contained large numbers of guards and archers, and operated like an autonomous, small town within the city. Another landmark was the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, the largest Crusader church in the city. The building itself concealed a Templar knight in the incomplete spire and also proved to be the highest climbable point in the cities that Altaïr visited.[3]

Trivia
