    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!

    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.

      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.

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.

      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.

      A talented team of modders has been working on Medieval 1212 Kingdoms for about half a decade, and just released its stable alpha to the public. They're doing a good job so far, but it has a ways to go. This is going to be the closest we get to Medieval 3, as CA no longer employs the competence necessary to recreate the immersive magic that Medieval 2 possesses.

    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.

      @@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.

      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

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.
