[No] Crusader castle at île de Graye[?]

If the Crusaders did not build the castle on île de Graye, what is the citadel that Saladin reconstructed in 1170?2A02:1810:8C10:D400:C097:F05:CA14:2857 (talk) 12:50, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Have just added 2 clarify/dubious tags, one with the same question.

"In December 1170, Saladin conquered the island and reconstructed the citadel."

If there is no evidence for a Crusader castle, what "citadel" did he rebuild, and whom did he have to conquer it from?

"By the time of the 13th century, when the pilgrim Thietmar passed the island in 1217, the entire place was inhabited by a fishing village and populated by Muslims and captive."

Missing letters & words? Captives, captive Europeans...? Or an exceedingly brief wording, as for Thietmar any place held by Muslims was "captive"? If the latter: it must be formulated differently, including by cutting down the excessive 'and's. Arminden (talk) 21:13, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Solved, I think, as far as current research goes. Waiting for new digs for more answers. ....... ... and wait he did :)) Arminden (talk) 17:27, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
