... that the remnants of the Khwarazmian army massacred the Christian inhabitants of Jerusalem in 1244? Source: Jackson 2007, p. 17: "the Khwarazmians' sack of Jerusalem ... had been swiftly followed by the massacre of most of its fleeing Christians population".
- ALT1: ... that the remnants of the Khwarazmian army that had entered the Punjab in 1221 and sacked Tbilisi in 1226 defeated a Crusader army near Gaza in 1244? Source: See footnotes [2], [5] and [39]. I can give you quotes if you want.

New enough (created 27/03, nominated 03/04), long enough (2031 readable words which is more than enough characters), hook for ALT0 checks out (source:...Sack of Jerusalem in which on 11 August 1244, which had been quickly followed by the massacre of most of its fleeing Christian population). 8.3% on earwig which is fine. Image is 13th century, so free, and renders well at small size. Excellent writing; a complex period but very clearly retold (made trivial c/e's). Hook is certainly engaging, better than ALT1 imo.
