When the deadline was not met, an infuriated Richard I ordered that all the prisoners from Acre should be taken to a small hill called Ayyadieh. There in full view of the Muslim army and Saladin's own field headquarters, around 3000 soldiers, men, women and children from the city (according to Muslim sources) were put to the sword. Although Christian sources do not mention any non-combatants, Richard I estimated around 2,600 captives were killed.
