Source for the claim that women and children were among the prisoners? And possible anti-crusader bias?

I have not seen any historical account, arab nor christian, which claims that there were women and children among the executed prisoners. If there is such a source I suggest that it be referenced in the article or the statement should be removed.

Also, there seems to be a slight anti-crusader bias in the tone of the article. For example the article has statements such as " The struggle for the city was unusually vicious even by Crusade standards" implying the crusaders in general were more vicious than other peoples.

And the article also asserts that the killings of the prisoners at Acre was a "terror tactic in an attempt to terrify his opponents into submission.", This appears to be nothing more than someones opinion and I see no evidence that this was Richard I's intention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.244.15.170 (talk) 20:44, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the previous editor and made some changes to the article in response, also, since I doubt the article could include many more details I strongly suggest it to be merged with Siege of Acre (1189–91)113.197.157.85 (talk) 14:52, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. It should be merged with Siege of Acre article. Reparare (talk) 12:44, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
