THE LAST OF THE CRUSADERS: THE FALL OF ACRE (1291 AD) | 20K+ UNITS MEDIEVAL KINGDOMS 1212 AD MOD

The Siege of Acre (also called the Fall of Acre) took place in 1291 and resulted in the Crusaders' losing control of Acre to the Mamluks. It is considered one of the most important battles of the period. Although the crusading movement continued for several more centuries, the capture of the city marked the end of further crusades to the Levant.

When Acre fell, the Crusaders lost their last major stronghold of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. They still maintained a fortress at the northern city of Tartus (now in north-western Syria), engaged in some coastal raids, and attempted an incursion from the tiny island of Ruad; but, when they lost that, too, in a siege in 1302, the Crusaders no longer controlled any part of the Holy Land.[4]

DISCLAIMER:
I am aware that some of the units in this video wear anachronistic armor, specifically the Hospitallers and some Templars. However, this is because the earlier Hospitaller units wear black tabards, which where changed to red around 1250 AD (meaning, the Hospitallers should be wearing 13th century armour with red tabards, but the 13th century units only wear black). Also, I thought if there was a chance to use the 14th century Templar units in a video, it was this one.
