Fall of Antioch (1268)
On the Crusades map as “The sack of Antioch”
May 1268 — Baibars storms the great northern city; the slaughter and enslavement are so complete that the sultan writes a gloating letter to its absent prince. The bloodiest sack of the age, and the least remembered. A site of memory.
