I have never met a person in my life who didn’t know who Saladin was-Whether mentioned intentionally or by chance.He is simply the most famous Muslim who ever lived after the age of the early Islamic conquests.

SALADIN united the entire world of his people. AMAZING MAN and the actor who played him should have won an Oscar not so much for what he said ,but for what he did not say-just implied. If he rises again, and he will. As a war historian I believe it is inevitable. Great man Great General Great Leader of his people. GREAT MOVIE!!!

Raynald de Chatillon seems to have done more damage to the Crusader cause than their enemies did. He had already proven himself to be a liability by raiding Byzantine Cyprus, marrying the princess of Antioch against her subject's wishes, then torturing the city's Patriarch into giving him funds. By all accounts Saladin was an honourable man. He may have intended to attack Jerusalem at some point, regardless of Raynald's actions, but he seems to have honoured truces. Breaking the truce by raiding caravans was a stupid move, especially given the strength of the Ayyubid empire. After refusing to make reparations to Saladin, King Guy of Jerusalem should have cut Raynald loose and told Saladin to attack him and take Kerak castle for compensation. Maybe that would have prevented the loss of Jerusalem; at the least it would have given the Crusaders more time. Great episode as always, I look forward to the next one. It's not often in history when a military genius meets his match.
