Battle of Acre, 1189 or 1190?

[edit]

I've noticed that a number of articles like give the date "4 October 1190" for the Battle of Acre, which occurred within a month or so of the arrival of many Crusader reinforcements. The siege of Acre by Guy de Lusignan began on 28 August 1189, and within days, reinforcements began arriving from the West. It was at that time that French and Flemish reinforcements arrived, led by Jacques d'Avesnes, Henri I Count de Bar, Erard Count de Brienne, his brother André de Brienne, Robert II de Dreux, and his brother Philippe de Dreux.

Every published source I have in my library says the battle began on 4 October 1189. Even the Wikipedia article about the "Siege of Acre" states that the battle took place on 4 October 1189. Why do so many Wikipedia articles place the date one full year later, in 1190? PGNormand (talk) 18:33, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
