    Just a friendly reminder, meanwhile in the far east, a man name Temujin is taking revenge on his wife's kidnappers and having a bitter rivalry with his anda Jamukha. Surely he can never influence events in the middle east, right?

But beyond that, I'm actually surprised the Selucids never founded a city called Antioch further south. There are several Antiochs in modern-day Turkey (the famous Antioch-on-the-Orontes, as well as Antioch in Pisidia, Antioch-on-the-Maeander, and several others), so I assumed, like all the cities named Seleuceia they founded everywhere, that there would be others floating around in various places in the Middle East; but, no, all of the Antiochs somehow ended up in modern Turkey.

    4:43 Baldwin's designated heir, Baldwin V did not have Leprosy, that was invented by the 2005 movie Kingdom of Heaven. Sources don't explicitly say what illness Baldwin V had, only that he was a sickly child who took ill and died, which was a common fate for children at the time.

His forces were in the rear of the army, and he actually managed to accomplish ANOTHER breakout from Salah-Ad-Din's encirclement. But Balian's breakout was even more successful than Raymond's, because Balian managed to save somewhere around 3,000 of the Crusader Infantry with his breakout.
