Astral Doors - The Battle of Jacob's Ford (Lyrics)

Описание: The Siege of Jacob's Ford occurred in August 1179 after Saladin turned his attention away from the uprisings in northern Syria and focused on Jacob’s Ford and the Castle of Chastelet. On 23 August 1179, Saladin arrived at Jacob’s Ford and ordered his troops to shoot arrows at the castle, thus initiating the siege. While the archers distracted the men inside the fortification, miners were digging a tunnel to breach the stone and iron walls at the north-east corner of Chastelet. Altho the inital attempt at undermining the walls was not successful due to the tunnel being too narrow the second attempt saw success and the wall had collapsed. By August 30 1179, the Muslim invaders had pillaged the castle at Jacob's Ford and killed most of its residents. On the same day King Baldwin arrived with the reinforcements only to discover smoke permeating the horizon directly above Chastelet.
