Baybars takes Safed, 664

Baybars's coastal campaign of 664 — his columns raided Acre, Tyre, Tripoli and Hisn al-Akrad, then he sat down before Safed on 8 Ramadan; the great Templar fortress was tricked into surrender in forty days, two hundred of its knights were beheaded, and many of the besiegers fell martyred beneath it.
