Frederick’s Jerusalem
18 Feb 1229 — the excommunicate Emperor Frederick II regains Jerusalem by negotiation with Sultan al-Kamil, without a battle. The era’s sharpest irony: the one king the Pope condemned is the one who took the city.
This is one scene of Chapter 10 — The Crusades of Kings in The Crusades, 1095–1291.
