The first attempt at the reconquest of Silves by D. Sancho I began in early 1189, with the help of a fleet of Nordic crusaders, mainly Danish, and Frisian Crusaders, from the Netherlands.
Later, the king of Portuguese intercepted a new fleet of crusaders on their way from the Holy Land. He was able to sign an agreement with them, in exchange for the aid provided, and they could loot the city. This new wave of soldiers was composed of English, Germans and Flemish. The squadron, consisting of thirty-six high-board ships and approximately 3,500 heavily armed soldiers, departed from the Tagus River in Lisboa on July 16, arriving in Silves four days later. Sancho I attempted the conquest of Silves, to which he imposed a hard site that lasted until 3 September. The King Portuguese made great efforts to prevent foreign warriors from surrendering to large killings. Nevertheless, the result of the siege and attacks proved disastrous; a considerable portion of the population was killed and the city heavily pillaged and destroyed. Some of the survivors set out for Seville, where they found refuge.
Two years later, morocco's miramolim resumed it, passing it back into the hands of the Moors who for another half century would re-control it. In 1242, D. Paio Peres Correia definitively reconquered it for the Portuguese, during the reign of D. Afonso III.
