Has there ever been a battle in which three armies met and all three wanted to kill each other? I've heard of three way wars but an individual battle?
Actually, yes. During the siege of Jerusalem in AD 70, three factions of Jews fought for control of the city even as Titus's armies were besieging it: two Zealot leaders who had overthrown the previous city government, and an ex-bandit chief who had been invited by more moderate elements to help restore order. In the end, one of the Zealots killed the other who had barricaded himself in the Temple, and he and the ex-bandit were both captured in the storming of the city and taken alive to Rome.
hi! there's always room for more on this, but you'll find an earlier discussion in the FAQ
