In 1191, Saladin demolished the fort of Ascalon, but Richard swiftly rebuilt it as a primary fortress to Jaffa. Saladin then attempted to recapture Jaffa in 1192, but was thwarted by the English King\'s defence. The present picture depicts Richard I \'unhorsing\' Saladin in this battle, a moment retold in many chivalric tales.); Photo by Christie\'s Images.
