      @@dougmartin2007 That is a lie. Crusaders went in debt or sold their lands to join the Crusades. No one came back rich, if they came back at all. They went for the cross of Jesus as a repentance for their sins. Just what "loot" do you think was in the Holy Lands in 1059? The people were dirt poor, just as in Europe.

      Baldwin became the Count of Edessa during the first crusade. While there are plenty of examples of people selling worldly possessions to fund their participation in the crusades, to say no one profited is an easily debunked lie.
      Also, while this video is about one crusade conflict, my comment was about militaries as a whole, as indicated when I said "different time periods and parts of the world."

      Jerusalem capitulated to his forces on Friday, 2 October 1187, after a siege. When the siege had started, Saladin was unwilling to promise terms of quarter to the Frankish inhabitants of Jerusalem. Balian of Ibelin threatened to kill every Muslim hostage, estimated at 5,000, and to destroy Islam's holy shrines of the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque if such quarter were not provided. Saladin consulted his council and the terms were accepted. The agreement was read out through the streets of Jerusalem so that everyone might within forty days provide for himself and pay to Saladin the agreed tribute for his freedom. An unusually low ransom was to be paid for each Frank in the city, whether man, woman, or child. Patriarch Heraclius of Jerusalem organised and contributed to a collection that paid the ransoms for about 18,000 of the poorer citizens, leaving another 15,000 to be enslaved. Most of the foot soldiers were sold into slavery. Upon the capture of Jerusalem, Saladin summoned the Jews and permitted them to resettle in the city. In particular, the residents of Ashkelon, a large Jewish settlement, responded to his request. The subject ordered the churches repurposed as horse stables and the church towers destroyed.
      For Jonathan to call this a peaceful takeover tells me he is a Saladin fanboy full of shit. 😂

      @@thecappeningchannel515: What’s your criteria for a “peaceful takeover”? The Crusaders massacred everyone inside Jerusalem when they conquered it in 1099, keeping only a few residents alive, whom they used as slaves to bury the corpses of the dead, and then massacred these survivors later. When they did this, the Christians were acting according to biblical injunctions found in the books of Deuteronomy and Joshua, as well as the old Roman law that dictated that a city under siege could only negotiate terms of surrender before the first bartering ram struck the first blow against the walls, after which no quarter would be given (a law that neither Latin nor Byzantine rulers ever abrogated).
      Sultan Salahuddin extended terms to the surrendering Latin Crusaders _after_ his troops had already breached the walls of the city, even though he was fully within his rights under the Crusaders’ own laws to massacre every last Latin Crusader and their entire families. Yet he did not do so.
      By the Crusader’s own standards therefore, Sultan Salahuddin was far more humane and averse to bloodletting compared to the Crusaders themselves. Not to mention of course, that even enslaved persons under Islamic law didn’t lose their personhood, and had rights under the law, including the right to petition courts and the right to practice their religions. No such rights were extended to slaves under Christian regimes, slaves being unpersoned chattels whose very lives their owners could end at will, with no penalty whatsoever.

      @@mohammedsaysrashid3587 Jerusalem capitulated to his forces on Friday, 2 October 1187, after a siege. When the siege had started, Saladin was unwilling to promise terms of quarter to the Frankish inhabitants of Jerusalem. Balian of Ibelin threatened to kill every Muslim hostage, estimated at 5,000, and to destroy Islam's holy shrines of the Dome of the Rock and the al-Aqsa Mosque if such quarter were not provided. Saladin consulted his council and the terms were accepted. The agreement was read out through the streets of Jerusalem so that everyone might within forty days provide for himself and pay to Saladin the agreed tribute for his freedom. An unusually low ransom was to be paid for each Frank in the city, whether man, woman, or child. Patriarch Heraclius of Jerusalem organised and contributed to a collection that paid the ransoms for about 18,000 of the poorer citizens, leaving another 15,000 to be enslaved. Most of the foot soldiers were sold into slavery. Upon the capture of Jerusalem, Saladin summoned the Jews and permitted them to resettle in the city. In particular, the residents of Ashkelon, a large Jewish settlement, responded to his request. The subject ordered the churches repurposed as horse stables and the church towers destroyed.

I used to believe it was exactly that - strategist vs tactician, until I actually bothered to read the primary sources about crusades. Richard had many strategic feats matching and surpassing Saladin:
      - He maintained a very delicate balance of power in the Crusades kingdoms, but nominating a problematic, but well connected Conrad of Monferrat as King of Jerusalem and assassinating him immediately after (that's how he avoided being left alone by other Christian rulers)
      - His execution of the Acre garrison, while at face value a cruel bloodshed was a direct response to Saladin's stalling the ransom negotiation to wait for winter, also realizing that logistically it wasn't feasible to maintain them
      - False peace talks initiated with Saladin's brother before crossing the Arsuf forest to be able to forage and blaze the dangerous route that otherwise could be an ambush
      And plenty more. Third Crusade is listed as a Crusader military victory and strategically inconclusive, but Crusaders retrieved entire Outremer coast from Tyre to Jaffa, restored the Crusader States and took new possessions in Galilee, also establishing Kingdom of Cyprus and forced unequal treaty of Jaffa on Saladin. Crusaders only gained - they didn't just gain Jerusalem, which would have been a crushing victory.

      ​@@thecappeningchannel515 At that time, most of Egypt's population were Christians or Shiites.... Only a few of them were recruited.
      Most of Saladin's soldiers were from the cities of Damascus and Aleppo, opposite the armies of the most powerful countries in Europe!!!!

      He didn't even comprehend what had actually happened in the north, where the army of the HRE defeated the Seljuks. Jerusalem was irrelevant and the muslims were merely pawns in a bigger game. When emperor Frederick died, he had already won and the only winner of the 3rd crusade was the HRE. His knights had exposed the weakness of the Byzantines and only a few years later Constantinople was conquered, sacked and crippled forever by Venice. There was only one important emperor left from then and even the Normans of Sicily joined the HRE. Richard the Lionheart had to bow to his son Henry and his grandson Frederick II would get Jerusalem for free.

    In reality; Saladin's tolerant stance and chivalry come in contrast to the atrocities committed by the Crusaders when they conquered Jerusalem in the year 1099 AD, where the Crusaders set out in the streets of the city and in the mosques, killing all who came across them, men, women, and children. These Crusaders killed thousands of innocent Muslims for no fault of their own. He mentions Historian William of Tyre said that when the Crusaders entered Jerusalem, Jerusalem witnessed a terrible massacre until the country became a vast pool of Muslim blood.

    A remarkable feat of logistical planning and recruiting. This happened hundreds of years ago where armies from different countries with different languages had to work together. Without proper forms of communication (Everything by horse, ships and with letters). Even nowadays with the internet foreign intervention is still very difficult. Just look at USA in Afghanistan

      Much of this was possible due to Merchant city states of Italy e.g., Venice, Genoa etc. These states played the essential role in ensuring European Naval dominance in Mediterranean in medieval ages.
      The European Renaissance also started from these states and even the Modern Financial and Banking system has its origns in these states e.g. The Medici family and other numerous banking families/mafias. I suspect legalization of Usury in Europe was also financed by them, especially through Protestant revolution and other revolutions to weaken Papal authority and later replacing kingship with Oligarchies/Democracy

    The defenders fought bravely and stood their ground honourably. It took all the greatest kings and armies of Europe to take this small city after almost 2 years of siege and countless attempts. In my opinion, this defending garrison was the strongest on the planet at the time. One thing that surprises me however is why didn't Saladin constantly Bombard the crusader camp with catapults? This would've surely damaged the besiegers severely.

      Acre was one of if not the most easily defended cities of its time..Its outer walls and bulwarks were insane. Not to mind the attackers were fighting on 3 fronts while lacking men and resources. I agree though, it took heart to defend it..even if they did try surrender 3 times
