King Philip of France went home in 1191. But he let his knights remain at Acre. Their leader was the duke of Burgundy. King Richard of England was in charge of the rest of the Crusaders.

Richard and the duke heard that there was war between two sultans, and that very few Turks would be left in Jerusalem. So they set off at once. But they had not gone far when the duke said he was turning back. His reason was that he did not want Richard to get the credit for taking Jerusalem. Richard now had too few knights. When one of them said that he could see Jerusalem ahead, Richard threw his tunic over his head. If he could not capture it, he did not want to see it.

From the Life of St. Louis, written by Jean de Joinville in about 1290. Jean de Joinville was born in 1225

King Louis jumped into the sea, where the water came up to his armpits. He waded to the shore with his shield hung round his neck. When he reached land, he looked at the enemy and asked who they were. He was told they were Turks. At that, he put his lance under his arm and got ready to charge them. But the Turks fled. We all got onto our horses, and rode with the king to Damietta.
