September 7 Battle of Arsuf Saladin. 1191: Having taken Acre in July 1191, Richard I (the Lion-Heart) and the Crusaders were slowed in their march toward Jaffa by attacks by the Muslim army under Saladin. On this day those attacks intensified, particularly against Richard's rear guard, the Hospitallers, as the Crusaders left Arsuf. Richard's counterattack during the evening brought victory in the Battle of Arsuf, but for a variety of reasons Richard delayed his eventual march to Jerusalem. 1885: American poet and novelist Elinor Wylie was born in Somerville, New Jersey. 1876: The Younger Brothers, a group of American outlaws, were captured following an unsuccessful bank robbery. 1860: Giuseppe Garibaldi entered Naples, Italy, and proclaimed himself “Dictator of the Two Sicilies.” 1822: Dom Pedro I declared the independence of Brazil. 1812: Napoleon's French forces narrowly defeated the Russians under Mikhail Illarionovich Kutuzov at the Battle of Borodino.
