Saladin was an unstoppable force... yeah... more like: Saladin: I have mustered this huge, 10 000 strong army. Bow before me! Richard: I have 18 riders and an axe. Saladin: Yeah screw that, man. Im out of here. ... To me it sounds more like that Saladin was a suffering from a major PTSD whenever he met a competent western leader, like Baldwin IV, or Richard.

This is so well done and a captures a truly fascinating period of history. ✝️✝️✝️

Great Video! The Third Crusade is my favorite. Among the eight official crusades that followed the First Crusade (1096-1099), the Third Crusade, in my historical analysis, was the military expedition that came closest to the victorious outcome of the First Crusade. Furthermore, Saladin was defeated several times during the 3rd Crusade. It was during the 3rd Crusade, therefore, that Saladin suffered his worst casualties. Saladin was an incredible warrior and an excellent strategist. It is not for nothing that he won the epithet "sword of Allah", as well as Khalid ibn al-Walid. However, he is far from being an "undefeated" warrior. Saladin was defeated several times by Christian forces, ESPECIALLY during the Third Crusade. Had it not been for his decisive victory at Hattin (1187), Saladin's military reputation would be severely dented. I can highlight 5 (five) huge battles in which Saladin's forces were defeated by Christian forces. The video already mentioned many of them. • 1) The Battle of Montgisard (1177), which was, in MY historical analysis, the worst defeat that Saladin suffered throughout his career. The Battle of Montgisard was undoubtedly the greatest military triumph of king Baldwin IV (1174-1185), who was already seriously affected by leprosy at that point. • 2) The Battle of Belvoir Castle (1182), when Saladin was ALSO defeated by Baldwin IV; • 3) The Siege of Acre (1189-1191), when Richard conquered Galilee (including Acre itself); • 4) The Battle of Arsuf (1191), when Saladin, who was already afflicted with the Christian gains throughout the coastal area of the Holy Land, was defeated by Richard (as the video already mentioned); • 5) The Battle of Jaffa (1192), when Saladin was ALSO defeated by Richard's troops (as the video already mentioned as well). After the Battle of Jaffa, the Crusaders simply recovered the entire coastline of the Holy Land, covering a line that stretched from Beirut to Jaffa. Just like the Second Crusade, the Third Crusade was NOT a total failure for the Christian cause. After the Third Crusade, the Christian control throughout the coastal area of the Holy Land was significantly strengthened. Yes, Jerusalem was not conquered. Nevetheless, the Christian territorial gains were simply HUGE during the Third Crusade, including the ENTIRE levantine coastline from Beirut to Jaffa, covering Tyre, Acre and Caesarea. The conquest of Acre by Richard's forces, for example, was extremely catastrophic for the Muslims. Acre not only became a vital Christian port in the Holy Land, but it also became a powerful Christian stronghold until 1291! The 3rd Crusade, therefore, was extremely advantageous for the Christian cause!

Great content, as usual. You touched one of the most important issues of the Crusades: the (different) relations between the Roman Empire and Western Christendom. Isaac II's attitude as you presented here was quite difficult to understand, do you plan to do a more detailed recount of this aspect (the variations of Byzantine politics regarding the Crusaders)? That could be interesting.

Richard was a rare sort of leader. He was a soldier among his brother soldiers. His men would follow him into hell and back. His campaigns ring through history as rare moments of courage, unity, and brotherhood. You want to understand a real leader? Look at Richard the Lionheart. This is what a real leader looks like. Unless your leader is willing to rush ashore with you, sword in hand, against an army that outnumbers you 7 to 1, then he's not a leader.

My views of the Third Crusade: Strategically the Third Crusade was a successful expedition for the Christian Army. However the failure to recapture Jerusalem may be because of lack of adequate French and German leadership to support the Lionheart. With a strong leadership the war could have been continued from three fronts: (1) Lionheart's invasion of Egypt (2) German and French allied attack on Jerusalem under the strong leadership of Frederick Barbossa and his son Frederick, Duke of Burgandy (had they survided) (3) A strong reserve force under Henry (the nephew of Lionheart) to protect the captured cities with Byzantine support. This would have engaged Saladin on three fronts forcing him to divide his forces.
