Wow, this is amazing. I know it probably isn't the case because of how quickly this popped up after the last video, but this is precisely what I asked for.
It's fascinating to see that even with tactical blunders, Barbarossa managed to win battles simply by having disciplined troops, while the crusader orders and their armies manage to squander major tactical advantages by lack of discipline. There couldn't be a bigger contrast to illustrate how important military discipline is.
Christian resolve is all they had becuase the nobles had massive egos. You will find the english were more prone to cruelty and violence which gave them unwavering determination.
I imagine the initial crusader forces were more disciplined as they would have been more along the lines of actual trained military. As things drug along it would be less likely to have quality trained soldiers because of the increasing demand of continued reinforcements. Also, your talking about combining nations and individual forces and asking them to put aside previous or current issues and unite under what was a murky banner of control and leadership.
Imagine working your whole life for very little money and barely affording to pay rent then being fined money for every minor violation late payment traffic ticket and being thrown in cages for failure to have lots of money. Modern war. The river sounds nice actually
Richard held the Christian banner high when others fled, and single-handedly kept the Crusader spirit alive. He was the ideal medieval king, fighting side by side with his men, something modern leaders would never do. Saladin was a great leader and commander and it's very symbolic that Saladin passed shortly after the third Crusades ended, it's like he had completed his mission. Saladin was truly the Defender of Islam. May these names never die!
Saladin used to marvel at the zeal of the Christians, not sure if he said this himself but every time they killed a Christian a thousand more would come, while the other "Muslim Kings" of his time would sleep over his letters for help.
Too bad his own Kingdom ended up in his inept & greedy little brother's hand - he is not a responsible King from the perspective of the kingdom's welfare Imo.

Saladin's big defeat. 1:04:20: Battle of Arsuf in 1191. A decisive Crusader victory under Richard the Lionheart. 1:11:36: The Third Crusaders advance toward Jerusalem. 1:17:48: But! In early 1192, the leadership of the Third Crusade decides to not siege Jerusalem because of the high risk in doing so 1:24:56: The Third Crusade's second advance toward Jerusalem. However, the Third Crusade decided to not siege Jerusalem for the second time. 1:26:21: Battle of Jaffa between The Third Crusaders under Richard the Lionheart and Muslims under Saladin. A decisive victory for The Third Crusaders. The Battle of Jaffa was the last major battle of the Third Crusade. 1:30:10: Treaty of Jaffa in 1192 - 3 years of truce. Saladin retained control of Jerusalem, but Christians allowed to visit the holy city. Some Crusader forts allowed to continue to exist. This treaty ended the Third Crusade.
i'm so confused. the crusaders were so hard headed to conquer Jerusalem. they tore up peace treaty's and were always constantly motivated to conquer Jerusalem. why suddenly did they stop the conquest twice when they were so close and decided to a deal with saladin? seems very out of character for the crusaders. is it possible that most of the crusaders victory's were overdramatized and fabricated?
Seems to me that Richard was the tactician while Saladin was the strategist. Every time they met in battle Richard won but he didn't have much of a plan for using those victories and Saladin was able to bog him down in an endless stalemate just like Vietnam.
Yeah, but part of it is that Richard had to deal with the religious zeal of the Crusaders. He wanted to go for Egypt, not the landlocked and strategically useless Jerusalem, but he had to be realistic about the motivations of his forces.
@@shorewall Yeah, Saladin's biggest advantage was that he commanded a united force under his complete control while Richard was the leader of an alliance of many different European factions that he only had nominal control over.
@@historicalminds6812 As far as I understand it, he DIDN´t take the outlying forts, and that was the problem. He secured only the string of fortifications streching from Jaffa to Jerusalem, but not the ones beyond. So even if he took Jerusalem, the Turks would have had the strategic upper hand as soon as the bulk of the crusaders started to return to Europe after fulfiling their vows. Taking Egypt was the only way to ensure long term victory, but the majority of comanders and the rank and file troops did not understand that, and in the end even his reputation was not enough to persuade them.
@@mymix391 Its the Hardcore History podcast by Dan Carlin: series 34-39 named 'death throes of the republic' where Crassus gets attacked by Parthian horse-archers dressed in rags to conseal their heavy armour so that they give the Romans a false sense of superiority, simply EPIC!!!
I think the best thing about these videos, is the way that you guys specifically point out where the opinions of historians differ or have changed over time with regards to the subjects you're discussing. People sometimes forget that the study of history is an ever-evolving endeavor, and at any time we can discover new evidence or documentation that completely changes our perspective on a person or event. This channel is fantastic for many reasons, but the fact that you guys specifically do this is I think my favorite thing.
Couldn't blame the guy, leading thousands of your men to a potential suicide mission for one woman (who is most likely some Arab officers concubine already)is pretty stupid when the town had already fallen and hundreds of civilians slaughtered and enslaved by the Muslim besiegers.
1:27:35, a defender swam into the ocean from his besieged position to the reinforcing fleet's flagship to deliver a message, prompting the reinforcing army to themselves leap into the sea in order to attack in full battle dress. Then later on a soldier discovers the enemy out in the fields during a morning stroll amidst a war zone. What an absolute bunch of mad lads
I just want to take a moment to thank you for carrying on the spirit of that one History channel show by using the total war series for your visuals of the soldiers and their tactics/formations.
I like how Kingdom of Heaven pretty much gave Saladin his most iconic look. Even the game that sponsored this video uses that movie's version of Saladin as their model. It's a testament to Ridley Scott and the actor who played Saladin in that movie.
If he hadn't died, I would say the Crusade wouldn't have failed. Similarly, if Phillip hadn't abandoned the Crusade, failure would have been unlikely. I like to imagine that Frederick, Richard, and Phillip kept each other in check.
Even if we assume that Philip will still return to Europe, if Barbarossa reaches the Holy Land with his entire army, the crusaders might threaten Egypt itself along with Jerusalem. That is, if the commanders, Richard, and Barbarossa always see eye to eye.
God controls all things for everything was made bye him an for him he sent his son Jesus Christ to die for the price of our sins an Christ rose again an conquerd death forever more
Damn, this was intense alongside very limited knowledge of the Third Crusade. -The conflict flip-flopping between success for one side then the other. -Frederick Barbarossa getting killed over a mere accident, & where his survival may have turned the tide of the Third Crusade. -Richard being so close to his goal of conquering Jerusalem twice, only to get held up by logistics. -Saladin having the potential to lay waste to the Crusading army at Acre but didn't. -Saladin dying half a year after the Third Crusade ended, which may have been very advantageous for Richard.
@@ahzam2862 The Third Crusade ended in 1192. Richard died in 1199 (7 years after) from a crossbow wound in his shoulder which turned gangrenous - i.e. lack of bloodflow which turns skin black & dry (don't look it up). So not entirely from natural causes. Saladin was a formidable though respected opponent to Richard. When Saladin died, his empire/realm was split amongst his competing sons. If Richard continued crusading up to this point, these divisions would be beneficial to him unless, due to change in historical events, post-Saladin divisions don't take place. What would have restraint Richard was logistics - finances, army morale as well as troubling developments back in England & France.
...Though, in the event of the Third Crusaders conquering Jerusalem, whether they could have held onto is quite questionable. The division of the Muslim world was what allowed the First Crusaders to conquer the Antioch, Edessa & Jerusalem despite being poorly organised & equipped; but the Muslim world were able to recapture Jerusalem when they got their shit together.
@@laurenceellis6256 Most of your assessments are true, but much of Richards success was due to he was fresher to this arena and supported by many leaders of levant while Saladin was battle weary and had to face enemies at home and abroad. but the thing that made Saladin shinier than Richard is his strategic play. in contrast Richard have to be happy with his tactical victories. Saladin achieved his goal and held it,but Richard with all successes failed to achieve his goal.
@@alraziosmany I don't think that's fair to Richard. He wanted to control the coastal forts and cities, he wanted to cut Saladin off from Egypt. It was the religious zeal of the Crusaders that forced Richard to seek undesirable battle for Jerusalem. So many others would have been strung out, baited, and picked apart by the Muslim skirmish tactics, but Richard (and Barbarosa) kept their men mostly safe, and accomplished much. If Richard had his way, I think he would have let Saladin keep Jerusalem, and pressed on to the Nile Delta. The strength of the Crusader States always derived from their access to the sea, and the Latin West thereby. But in a two edged sword, its strength was also derived from religious fervor, which had to be taken into account, and was often at odds with good strategy and pragmatism.
I'm very impressed with the production quality of your videos. The script is informative, and well written, and the narrator has a great voice for this type of content. Everything is very clear, and understandable. You're diction is on point. The visuals are fantastic. The map sequences are extremely helpful for following the narrative, and really add to the whole experience. 10/10 would recommend. Unfortunately, I don't know many people that are as interested in history as I am, but I will certainly be talking about this to whomever may check it out.
Their making total war troy even better, but i agree total war medieval better not fucking disappoint better be just like medieval 2 with super enhanced graphics, and dope optimization.

This channel is being run professionally with so much of fascinating details! I have spent 3 days my off time on watching. Definitely best one with Lindybeige. Gave me lots of knowledge and a new perspective on facts I have already knew.
Interesting thing to think about. While Richard, Baldwin and Salah ad-Din were duking it out for supremacy in the Holy Land. A little known warlord named Temujin far in the East was organizing a confederation of nomadic tribes. I don't really think he amounted to much besides raiding a few towns in Northern China but something neat nonetheless /s.

If you look into the man, you realize it was completely in character. He arrived in the Crusader States in the first place because he had been exiled for murder after all. After his coup that saw him crowned as King of Jerusalem, betraying his oath to Saladin is rather minor and, to be honest, probably not unexpected on the part of Saladin (he did release him to stir up trouble in the Crusader camp after all). In that time frame, it was quite common on both sides of the Crusader/Jihadi divide to not view oaths to the other as not being binding. The Koran allows deception when dealing with Infidels and Catholic clergy were quite willing to "absolve" their nobles of any vows sworn.
@@takeiteasy2305 deception is allowed in war. War is war. He is not completely wrong but yes oaths are taken seriously and yield consequences if broken otherwise
What do you expect from a King who bankrupt his own country causing his people to starve only to go on a Crusade and fails it's main objective. Richard was a master general and tactician but a terrible king.

@@omarn8266 Well they worship a man and thought killing and pillaging on their way to Jerusalem and massacaring the people there would take them to heaven. And killing non-christians and educated people and scientists in their lands would free them of their sins. Not something Jesus(pbuh) would do.

What a great video. I can't imagine what Richard and Saladin must have went through in order to come out like this. They led a very strategic war and limited the bloodshed. Respect.
53:03 "Richard, still unable to walk due to illness, was carried on a regal stretcher near the front lines, from which he picked off Muslim troops from the walls using his crossbow" What a chad
people always forget this.when saladin died, he only left behind his horse,his armour and 70 dinars. THATS IT!!! he spent all his money on the crusades and thats one of the main reasons muslims honor him so much and look up to him. may allah have mercy on him.

I appreciate the hard work you put into your fantastic videos, mate! So informative & entertaining. I wish you told how Richard took back Jaffa in its entirety though. It's my favourite part of his whole campaign in the Holy Land, how he rushes onto the beach with sword in one hand & crossbow in the other, takes the city with a handful of men, then rides over to the Muslim army by himself to challenge them & none dare accept. Truly stunning courage.
@Klaidi Rubiku I think the Gnomes of Switzerland, just might give them a run for their money. ;-) The Templers were the biggest bankers and money lenders, and after wasshisname king of France tried to snap them up, all of their treasure including a ten vessel treasure fleet disappeared. Presto chango and the Swiss are bankers. Try and find out where they got the money from, how much they have or who they have by the short and curlies. When it comes time to vote there, you not only have to show up at the poles, you have to show up with your rifle and/or pistol. The Gnomes aren't a people you fuck with.
Straight up you guys rock ,You have a muslim watching history about the Crusades , You guys can make me watch air moving , ive binged the hell out of your videos
you do realize that half what he said in this video is not true and he only reads of the crusaders accounts and not the Muslim ones. small example the aka treaty he said salah adein tried to stall for time. how can he stall for time when Richard already entered aka and the garrison surrendered in return for their lives to be spared in july 11th and Richard murdered them in august when they should have left on july 11 but richard arrested them breaking his promise to spare them and that is the Muslim account of what happened so who makes sence
@@masterplokoon8803 Richard is not one who would honor such things...... He.... actually did fought battles.. actual battles with his father and king multiple times. Let alone a foreign ruler who "outranked" him. So yeah as interesting as it might sound, they will actually fail. Logistics will also be a huge problem with the arrival of low supplied huge army of Barbarosa. Lack of supply and infighting of leaders always never yield good result.
@@Bazerald777 I am pretty sure Barbarossa's army would resuply once they reached the crusader states, there was also a crusader suply fleet. Barbarossa was the Emperor he outranked a king like Richard he was also pretty ironwilled. It would not be easy for Richard to mess with him or try to openly opose him. And with the extra numbers the crusader would be in a stronger position. It would certainly be interesting to see Richard, Barbarossa and Saladin interacting.
@@masterplokoon8803 I don't think that mattered because they were 2 different nations. Besides that going on past crusades, something like a council would have made the decisions.
@@kles44 i am 7 months late but i i remember correctly many men saw the Holy Roman Emperor sa important since he was the one ordained by their God and heir to Rome, the Angevins would probably not change but the other crusaders would've stayed, the French for example continued fighting even without their king so an Imperator would've kept alot more of them, and if Barbarossa won a few more battles before reaching Acre or Tyre then who knows how many more would stay or come to the Crusade
Fantastic! Since childhood at boarding school i always used to draw up strategic battles like these as i learned them in History. Still fascinated with ancient and modern military strategy, historical and current.
@HEAVEN That movie was very dumb. They skipped the battle of Hittin the most important event and made up a huge siege and battle that never acualy happened at the end only to glorify Orlando bloom lol

Hi I love your channel, & especially loved the video on lord Thomas Cochrane, & I am eagerly waiting your next video about the continuation of his adventures
Most fascinating history... shows us just how unpredictable warfare can be. I cannot marvel enough at the resilience, ingenuity, and energy of the Crusaders that allowed them to overcome overwhelming obstacles...
Love these full documentaries you guys are doing. Often some of the best on the topics someone can find on UA-cam. I would love it though if you could do one on the Second Punic War and the clash between Hannibal Barca and Scipio Africanus. That would be great.
damn.....love this video. both richard and saladin were genius strategist also leader. too bad Richard has so many disruption fron his kingdom and also internal of Jerusalem Crusader....while Saladin, maybe because of exhaution or he was getting older, he become too cautious. but these 2 man are legendaries...briliant leader.
This video is discussing only crusaders problems, in reality everyone has their own problems but the documentary didn't discuss Saladin side of political issues.
If I may add :there was a Hungarian prince in Barbarossa's army. While in Hungary, Barbarossa personally asked the Hungarian Prince Géza, brother of King Béla III of Hungary, to join the Crusade
1:16:20 Richard : yo wanna rebel against your brother Salahuddin. We can rule together. Its a fair deal dawg. I'll even toss in my sister in the bargain 😂😂
@@mrpeanut6267 it was not so much the idea that is bad but the application, this was a valid way of conducting politics in Europe but in the Near East not so much especially when the 2 are of different religions.
Dang Richard the I , really fought while he was sick unable to walk but still went on the front lines on a stretcher armed with a crossbow, that's a king.
6:18 Guy was one of those terrible leaders who are always convinced by whoever the last person to speak with them is, and doesn't seem capable of grasping what the objectively intelligent or prudent thing to do is for themselves.
Saladin was trustworthy, honest, merciful and forgiving, strong and motivated, bold but also cautious, reasonable and decent, resilient, just, patient and above all man of his word. All qualities you want to see in a leader!
To understand Philip Augustus's position, we must understand that the kingdom of France was threaten of disapperance because of the Angevins and also because of the threat of the Holy Roman Empire. It's only after the decisive victory of Bouvines (1214, approx 20 years after this crusade) against the coalised Anglo-Germans that France would re-affirm its position.
@@mikkodoria4778 Look at the names of the protagonists in the video buddy, Richard the Lionheart was French and never spoke English nor actually lived in England. ;)
Damn Richard fighting in backyard of other is not cup of tea for everyone. And King Saladin hold his nerve very aptly. Amazing commanders both were. Respect.
Its truly inspirational the sheer will power and true grit, piety and defiance these crusaders had. Imagine marching 1000's of miles in foreign and most times hostile territory being harassed all the way from the heart of Europe. Most of the time they were heavily outnumbered, out resourced, had very little reinforcements, very little knowledge about the land they were in (not to mind the scorching heat and wearing heavy Armor) knowing that they would eventually have to fight many gruelling battles and WIN!! just so they could control the Holy Sepulchre so that Christians could pray in peace. Meanwhile dealing with all the politics of back home. Trying to juggle all this and having this in the back of your mind while also dealing with Saladin. What Richard did at Jaffa was like something out of a fantasy story..the man charging and breaking Saladin for the third time Truly remarkable (Saladin knew of the ships inbound, he had men stationed on the beaches to prevent Richard from landing Richard then charged up to Jaffa and defeated the Muslims there as well, the defenders were hemmed in the citadel, also he had so few knights, they were named individually by a poet or monk who recalled the battle I cant remember) , Deus Vult
During the battle of Iconium, when Barbarossas troops were getting pushed to the wall, he rallied his troops by (supposedly) exclaiming : "But why do we tarry, of what are we afraid? Christ reigns. Christ conquers. Christ commands". Have to admire the discipline he managed to instill into his men with both fear and respect, one of the greatest HRE emperors without a doubt

Seems to me that Richard was the tactician while Saladin was the strategist. Every time they met in battle Richard won but he didn't have much of a plan for using those victories and Saladin was able to bog him down in an endless stalemate just like Vietnam.
Yeah, but part of it is that Richard had to deal with the religious zeal of the Crusaders. He wanted to go for Egypt, not the landlocked and strategically useless Jerusalem, but he had to be realistic about the motivations of his forces.
@@shorewall Yeah, Saladin's biggest advantage was that he commanded a united force under his complete control while Richard was the leader of an alliance of many different European factions that he only had nominal control over.
@@historicalminds6812 As far as I understand it, he DIDN´t take the outlying forts, and that was the problem. He secured only the string of fortifications streching from Jaffa to Jerusalem, but not the ones beyond. So even if he took Jerusalem, the Turks would have had the strategic upper hand as soon as the bulk of the crusaders started to return to Europe after fulfiling their vows.
Taking Egypt was the only way to ensure long term victory, but the majority of comanders and the rank and file troops did not understand that, and in the end even his reputation was not enough to persuade them.
@@firestorm1088 saladin was way too soft, that was his problem
i would say the opposite
Richard vs Saladin, really an epic showdown between two really smart generals, neither one of them ready to submit and 16 years long wow simply wow.

I think the best thing about these videos, is the way that you guys specifically point out where the opinions of historians differ or have changed over time with regards to the subjects you're discussing. People sometimes forget that the study of history is an ever-evolving endeavor, and at any time we can discover new evidence or documentation that completely changes our perspective on a person or event. This channel is fantastic for many reasons, but the fact that you guys specifically do this is I think my favorite thing.

1:27:35, a defender swam into the ocean from his besieged position to the reinforcing fleet's flagship to deliver a message, prompting the reinforcing army to themselves leap into the sea in order to attack in full battle dress.

Barbarossa and his army reaching the Holy Land would be an interesting turn of events in my opinion.
The discipline of his campaign was inspiring. I like to think that he and Richard would have been alike in terms of discipline and pragmatism.
If he hadn't died, I would say the Crusade wouldn't have failed. Similarly, if Phillip hadn't abandoned the Crusade, failure would have been unlikely. I like to imagine that Frederick, Richard, and Phillip kept each other in check.
Old fat just lead the hungry, tired, outnumbered German Crusader to sack Sultanate of Rum Capital with ease
Even if we assume that Philip will still return to Europe, if Barbarossa reaches the Holy Land with his entire army, the crusaders might threaten Egypt itself along with Jerusalem.
That is, if the commanders, Richard, and Barbarossa always see eye to eye.
God controls all things for everything was made bye him an for him he sent his son Jesus Christ to die for the price of our sins an Christ rose again an conquerd death forever more
Damn, this was intense alongside very limited knowledge of the Third Crusade.
-The conflict flip-flopping between success for one side then the other.
-Frederick Barbarossa getting killed over a mere accident, & where his survival may have turned the tide of the Third Crusade.
-Richard being so close to his goal of conquering Jerusalem twice, only to get held up by logistics.
-Saladin having the potential to lay waste to the Crusading army at Acre but didn't.
-Saladin dying half a year after the Third Crusade ended, which may have been very advantageous for Richard.
Yeah but Richard too died after returning from the third crusade while fighting against France
@@ahzam2862 The Third Crusade ended in 1192. Richard died in 1199 (7 years after) from a crossbow wound in his shoulder which turned gangrenous - i.e. lack of bloodflow which turns skin black & dry (don't look it up). So not entirely from natural causes.
Saladin was a formidable though respected opponent to Richard. When Saladin died, his empire/realm was split amongst his competing sons. If Richard continued crusading up to this point, these divisions would be beneficial to him unless, due to change in historical events, post-Saladin divisions don't take place.
What would have restraint Richard was logistics - finances, army morale as well as troubling developments back in England & France.
...Though, in the event of the Third Crusaders conquering Jerusalem, whether they could have held onto is quite questionable. The division of the Muslim world was what allowed the First Crusaders to conquer the Antioch, Edessa & Jerusalem despite being poorly organised & equipped; but the Muslim world were able to recapture Jerusalem when they got their shit together.
@@laurenceellis6256 Most of your assessments are true, but much of Richards success was due to he was fresher to this arena and supported by many leaders of levant while Saladin was battle weary and had to face enemies at home and abroad. but the thing that made Saladin shinier than Richard is his strategic play. in contrast Richard have to be happy with his tactical victories.
Saladin achieved his goal and held it,but Richard with all successes failed to achieve his goal.
@@alraziosmany I don't think that's fair to Richard. He wanted to control the coastal forts and cities, he wanted to cut Saladin off from Egypt. It was the religious zeal of the Crusaders that forced Richard to seek undesirable battle for Jerusalem. So many others would have been strung out, baited, and picked apart by the Muslim skirmish tactics, but Richard (and Barbarosa) kept their men mostly safe, and accomplished much. If Richard had his way, I think he would have let Saladin keep Jerusalem, and pressed on to the Nile Delta. The strength of the Crusader States always derived from their access to the sea, and the Latin West thereby. But in a two edged sword, its strength was also derived from religious fervor, which had to be taken into account, and was often at odds with good strategy and pragmatism.
The use of camels by Saladin reminded me of how Surena did the same trick against the Romans at Carrhae.
I'm very impressed with the production quality of your videos. The script is informative, and well written, and the narrator has a great voice for this type of content. Everything is very clear, and understandable. You're diction is on point. The visuals are fantastic.

Interesting thing to think about. While Richard, Baldwin and Salah ad-Din were duking it out for supremacy in the Holy Land.

Saladin: 'Expertly Disects the Crusaders Whole army'
Richard the Lionheart: "No"
This Guy guy was captured and then released with a deal to not attack Saladin. First thing he does is to betray ...
wth
If you look into the man, you realize it was completely in character. He arrived in the Crusader States in the first place because he had been exiled for murder after all. After his coup that saw him crowned as King of Jerusalem, betraying his oath to Saladin is rather minor and, to be honest, probably not unexpected on the part of Saladin (he did release him to stir up trouble in the Crusader camp after all).
In that time frame, it was quite common on both sides of the Crusader/Jihadi divide to not view oaths to the other as not being binding. The Koran allows deception when dealing with Infidels and Catholic clergy were quite willing to "absolve" their nobles of any vows sworn.
@@takeiteasy2305 deception is allowed in war. War is war. He is not completely wrong but yes oaths are taken seriously and yield consequences if broken otherwise

46:20 shout out to this guy. He musta been the talk of the day after what he did. Dam
Damn Richard fighting in backyard of other is not cup of tea for everyone. And King Saladin hold his nerve very aptly. Amazing commanders both were. Respect.
This is such a good video!!!! Absolutely love it!
I don't know that Kings & General have their own version of "Kingdom of Heaven", which is probably better.
Of course. God willed it.
Lee GOD WILLS IT
The score in the film is superior though. One of my all time favorite. And Jeremy Irons :)
Broo extended version makes that movie one of the best
he used chrsitains sources very biased for RAcihard the Lionheart who was blood thirty mosnter
Its truly inspirational the sheer will power and true grit, piety and defiance these crusaders had. Imagine marching 1000's of miles in foreign and most times hostile territory being harassed all the way from the heart of Europe. Most of the time they were heavily outnumbered, out resourced, had very little reinforcements, very little knowledge about the land they were in (not to mind the scorching heat and wearing heavy Armor) knowing that they would eventually have to fight many gruelling battles and WIN!! just so they could control the Holy Sepulchre so that Christians could pray in peace. Meanwhile dealing with all the politics of back home. Trying to juggle all this and having this in the back of your mind while also dealing with Saladin. What Richard did at Jaffa was like something out of a fantasy story..the man charging and breaking Saladin for the third time Truly remarkable (Saladin knew of the ships inbound, he had men stationed on the beaches to prevent Richard from landing Richard then charged up to Jaffa and defeated the Muslims there as well, the defenders were hemmed in the citadel, also he had so few knights, they were named individually by a poet or monk who recalled the battle I cant remember) , Deus Vult
During the battle of Iconium, when Barbarossas troops were getting pushed to the wall, he rallied his troops by (supposedly) exclaiming : "But why do we tarry, of what are we afraid? Christ reigns. Christ conquers. Christ commands". Have to admire the discipline he managed to instill into his men with both fear and respect, one of the greatest HRE emperors without a doubt
what does HRE stand for
