Guido's father had since 1256 held a non-aggression pact with the Mamluks, the latter had always respected. Jacob and Guido relied on that Baybars would hold even after John's death the peace. Therefore, Jaffa was the city, as the Mamluk army on March 7, appeared before her, only inadequately equipped for defense. After twelve hours' fighting, the city fell into the hands of the Sultan.
