June – Toghtekin, the atabeg of Damascus, sends envoys to the Crusaders encampment to negotiate peace. After lengthy and difficult discussions it is agreed that the terms of surrender would include letting those who wanted to leave the city to take their families and property with them, while those who wanted to stay would keep their houses and possessions. This was unpopular with some of the crusaders, who wanted to loot the city.[2]
