Siege of Tyre (1111–1112)

1111–1112 battle of the Crusaders

The siege of Tyre took place from 29 November 1111 to 10 April 1112 when the coastal city of Tyre, in what is now Lebanon and was then in the hands of the Fatimid Caliphate, was besieged by the Crusader King Baldwin I of Jerusalem. In the previous years, Baldwin had taken the cities of Acre, Tripoli, Sidon and Beirut from the Fatimids. Tyre was besieged by land, leaving the sea open as Baldwin lacked a fleet.
