Siege of Kerak

The siege of Kerak was conducted by the forces of Ayyubid Sultan of Egypt Saladin against the Crusaders led by Raynald of Châtillon at the Kerak Castle from early November to 4 December 1183. Saladin had besieged Raynald's stronghold of Kerak in response to the latter's naval raids on the Pilgrim ships in the Red Sea. Saladin withdrew and returned to Damascus after King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem arrived with reinforcements.
