History of Jerusalem during the Kingdom of Jerusalem began with the siege of the city in 1099 as part of the First Crusade .1This resulted in Jerusalem being conquered by Christian forces, after it had been under Muslim rule for nearly 450 years.2 It became the capital of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem , until it was again conquered by the Ayyubids under Saladin in 1187. In 1244, the city was taken by Khwarazmian troops . After 1260 the Ayyubid realm that included Jerusalem was taken over by the Mamluks of Egypt and the city was gradually rebuilt during the later 13th century, while the shrinking coastal Crusader state was gradually defeated until its final demise in 1291 .
