Saladin released Guy of Lusignan from prison in 1189, and he attempted to take command of the Christian forces at Tyre, but Conrad held power there after his successful defence of the city from Muslim attacks. He then turned his attention to the wealthy port of Acre. Guy of Lusignan attempted to recover Acre from Saladin by beginning the Siege of Acre on 28 August 1189. He amassed an army to besiege the city and received aid from Philip's newly arrived French army. The combined armies were not enough to counter Saladin, however, whose forces besieged the besiegers. The crusaders became so deprived at times they are thought to have resorted to cannibalism. The situation at Acre was not to resolved until the arrival of Richard the Lionheart in June 1191.
