Richrad came late and he was very coward, because their were wars between Muslims sultanates if not richrad chickenheard would have been taken by Salahueddin as a bride, do not make from this richrad a hero because the conflicts between Muslims which made salaheddin late to kill Richrad, Siljuk against Salahueddine, Irak anti Salahueddin and Zandjid sultanate anti Salahueddine, read history Richard was a big coward in history and he fought against only few trooops of muslims and he was saved to run back to europe with only 6 of his soldiers and then he was punished of escaping jerusalem. Conclusion Richard was a big coward according to english and french historian also german historians declares that Richard was only a fake hero and why was he in jail when he escape the war in jerusalem and returns with only six soldiers back to europe also he could only fight against some troops of muslims with his 30 times army than the troop of muslims 40000 thousands against 1200 according to all arab historian because salahueddine was ill and at the sametime he was in war against 5 muslims sultanate of old problems between them, so Richrad would never ever won a war against those muslims if they were not in war between them. Leonheard was coward also oxford university told this to journalist that he fought against a small troop in the first battle and against some passnger who were civilians why the who crusaders armies were killed in one of the famouse battle and richrad had only to escape back to europe.
This is my favorite chapter of history. I've been watching this documentary since the year it was uploaded on RUclips. Hopefully one day I can find a higher quality version somewhere.
" He choosed not to shed Christian blood to cleanse holy places... He choosed rose water.. For first-time in 88 years, Muslims were able to pray in Jerusalem "
I visited Salahueddine tumb in Damascus long before the war, his real tum is in Damascus in one old mosque, you could see his flags and swords and spears. According to british historians and arab historian richard was a coward he could only win with 40000 soldiers against 1200 in some battle because Salahueddin was in war already before the arriving of Richard with 130000 soldiers from all europe and salahueddine was at the same time in war against 5 or more muslims sultanate of an old problem between them, if not richard would find his end in the first day and also he avoided to meet salahueddine who was fighting against many enemies according to history of local witnesses.

Slaughtering defenceless women and children in full view of the Muslims at Acre however was not a very 'bad ass' thing to do by Richard even if he was a fearsome fighter...
@@mrahman2897 Neither was it very bad ass of Saladin to murder the christians who fell behind the main group . He cut them off from main group and slaughtered them in revenge for what Richard did , two wrongs dont make a right , so yes they were both bad ass .
when the crusaders ask Saladin what was Jerusalem worth to him and Saladin said it was worth Nothing but it really meant Everything to him.. he was the greatest leader of the Middle East at that time..
Saladin had vast numerical superiority in every battle that he fought. I don’t see how he could be considered a great military leader considering the fact that he lost the majority of those battles

The most neutral of all the documentaries I've seen about this whole issue, also the least dramatic and most realistic. I don't think I'll be watching any more on this. Thanks, it was an awesome job, whoever made this.
40:24 it was said that Saladin sent his physicians to treat Richard and prescribed him fruit. The one of the most common illness that European suffer from was Dysentery, from which consuming fruits aid the patient who suffer from this illness. Bare in mind Richard Brother John died from this illness.
im lucky to be a christian who also has good muslim pals and we often talk and share beliefs and storys, and one thing we always say is how good it would be if the whole world could get on together and stop religious divides which only restrict our ability to prosper and be happy
I always regret neglecting this period in world history. We all know some periods in the most intimate detail but there is always something else to discover.
I can summarize Salahdin in 2 sentences 1. he died as POOR king (all his riches were given to poor - his sons inherited nothing) 2. took jeresulaem back and spare christains and allowed jweish to live in it
Sean q its people like sean which lead us to look for other sources to verify everything. If you notice a statement pattern, nothing good comes out of his mouth about Saladin. This is why, I hardly ever trust anything I read even in books... you always have to verify your sources.
When Saladin took Jerusalem from Balian, he offered him safe passage but other people didnt get the same chance as Balian. They have to pay a ransom in order to leave the city and if they cant afford it, they were sold to slavery. It is true Saladin was religiously tolerant but also remember he is also a politician.
TheHarslord yup he was smart politician who want to be known as merciful even so he may did that as political move (and we can know he thoughts) but good deeds count as good one whatever ur objective is. THE FACT THAT WHEN CRUSADERS TOOK JERUSLEM THEY MASSCAREED 500 THOUSAND MUSLIM AND JEWS ans salah didnt
These two great warriors were some of the great examples of respect between two great faiths. May we one day have two great leaders like these two to make a better world for all. Salahuddin and Richard the lionheart May God rest your souls.
@@AllHailBanana yup...but as the two worship their imaginary friend differently, the "great" men must slaughter each other ( and everyone in their way)
I love this documentary. Brilliant storytelling. Crusades were million times worse than described here and it´s difficult to separate the myths and the persons but this fairytale is awesome.
ARE YOU CRAZY ? these were nothing but scumbag punks sending hundreds of thousands to death for their own personal glory and making millions suffer . MAY YOUR MOUTH BURN FOR UTTERING THESE DEVILS NAMES AS HOLY LIKE A RAVING INSANE IDIOT !!! SHUT UP YOU FILTHY EVIL MOUTH AND ASK GODS FORGIVENESS
Is only in your dream that richrad chickenheard was hero, go study history when did richard come after the end of war and Salahueddin was in wars against 4 muslims sultanates especially Zandjid sultanate the son of Nureddin zandji who was anti Salahueddin and Iraki sultanate of abbasid and siljuk sultanate was in war against salahueddine also egypt and some sultanate in syria who were in war against Sahueddine, so richrad did not meet Salahueddin in battle and all historian say that Richrad was a big coward after all europe fought with him and he lost against Salahueddin and if Salahueddin was not in war at the sametime against other muslim sultanate of intern problem he would slaughter richard and his coward knight, also richard was knowing that Salahueddin was in war against other muslims sultanate if not richard would find his end in the first day
In England, royalty and nobility were primarily descended from French nobility after the Norman conquest in 1066. As a result, they spoke a variant or dialect of French known as Anglo-Norman. Some of the old Anglo-Saxon nobility embraced the language and culture of these new noblity. The rest of the population continued to speak their Anglo-Saxon language. Over the centuries, Anglo-Norman and Anglo-Saxon languages merged to become the English language.
Its clear that the narrator/producer omitted and neglected SalahEddine bravery and valor while showing that Ritchard has the upper hands and gave him Excuses for retreat and withdrawal . May God have mercy on Salaheddin who show the people the mercy even he had the power
True. Agreed. Saladin’s generosity even for his enemies, and medical care given to the wounded, and aid even to fight, religious freedoms -are unmatched in history. They purposely left these true valorous deeds out of their agenda.
What, truly, drove French-English King Richard Coeur de Lion [Lionheart] 1 of England to lose heart before capturing Jerusalem from Arab Leader Saladin, in my minds eye, was not the question ''Can my army capture the city fortress?'' but the real question ''Can what remains of my army after the capture hold the city fortress long-term without massive and constant resupply of men and weapons?'' The real truthful answer would have had to be an absolute ''No''.
Thats like saying 'Man im gonna die anyway so why shud i live.' If he had some balls atleast he wudve attempted to capture it instead of thinking how to defend it. I mean what stupid logic is that. News Flash Richard the Bum --- First u need to capture the shit to defend it u idiot😡😡😡
This is a beautiful story. And if anything it shows that God anointed both of their missions. Neither won, Neither lost. The respect they had for each other is truly profound. EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY! Thank you
@@jeandomeniconagereitano7016 Bullshit.......Richard left because he knew the position was undefendable without a permanent occupation..........like Israel has today.
@Rich Doee It's a historical fact....the USA realised this in Viet Nam too and and Afghanistan as well.....only a fool hangs around when there's no gain to be had......in all wars the ground you take must be forever maintained by a strong and continuous presence or it just reverts back to enemy territory as soon as you leave.
the crusades was a 2 way war of people fighting over the same land. there was no doubt a religious motive in both however there was also a mutual respect (Salaladin gave his best doctor to Richard when he was sick) i know people only want to hear of the battles hear of the blood shed and that many people propose that religion is the source of all this world's ills but that is like looking at a mighty river and blaming a single stream that merged into it.
Hey dude , it was completely about religion . One of Islam's holiest shrines is in Jerusalem . As is Christianity's . You need to re-look your history . Saladin didn't send a doctor to Richard . You're confusing it with the movie with Orlando Bloom . Saladin did send a doctor , but to King Baldwin IV . Religion is probably the highest cause of war in the middle ages .
As a German, Dutch, Spanish; I respect this Muslim Hero Saladin and his most famous uprisings for the defense of Jerusalem. Saladin is truly a demi-god and true Leader for Muslim peoples. Saladin believed that he was defending his Middle Eastern countries. But Holy Crusaders believed they were fighting very good cause for God.
Or Conrad of Montferrat? (whom Richard murdered). This doco says nothing about Joan or the Sicilian ventures on the outward leg. Nor the massive HRE committment. What a trashy production
Don't let the souls of the people of Accra that Richard slaughtered hear you my friend, they might very well pay your sleeping ass a visit in the night.
King Saladin, who supported Tolerance, respect, enlightment!From Indonesia to Marocco, in Europe - everybody knows him not only as the Conquerer of Jerusalem, Egypt, Lybia, Yemen, Mesopotomia, especially he became a hero and legend as the Knight and King of Justice!His message for our century is so important!Long live great King Saladin Eyyubi!
Hey, i wanted to show the Importance of King Saladin because of hus treaty of tolerance and respect to the Christs and other Reliogions! That made him a Legend forever! Of course Richard was a great Man. Saladin sent him his best doctors as RIchard Lionheart became ill! That is fairness and big Gentleman Style!

@@samuelmithran5586 if that's true, then the third crusade should of been successful, this shows the lies and hype pumped by your biased historians, their lies are not consistent with the out come of the battle
Richard The Lionheart is the greatest warrior of XII century.Catholicism rised in peace,prosperity and harmony since his leadership.Church and we American nation are praising him in our homes eternally.
While there was mutual respect, Richard beat Saladin at the Battle of Arsuf and Jaffa; Saladin was defeated by Richard and the Third Crusade may have continued successfully if not for Richard's brother trying to usurp the throne.
I never said that Richard captured Jerusalem. But in battle, Richard was the superior leader. He was also a capable logistician, who understood that he did not have sufficient troops to hold Jerusalem, even if he took it. Thing is, Richard simply didn't have enough bodies. Saladin, who was fighting closer to his own territory, had access to a much more vast pool to draw his manpower from, as well as other logistical leg-ups. Both Saladin and Richard were great leaders… but Saladin did have the advantage of fighting close to home, where Richard was thousands of miles away from England. Both were unsatisfied with the peace; Saladin thought the Crusaders would use their foothold on the coast to retake Jerusalem, whereas the Crusaders were disappointed that they did not succeed in the final goal, even if they had secured a beachhead. Richard was not beaten by Saladin. He simply had considerably less manpower and was facing intrigues by his treacherous brother. He won the battles, but Saladin and the problematic logistical situation of taking Jerusalem without the important castles around it, prevented him from finishing the Crusade's objectives.
Richards was not a great leader. He should be called Richard the coward. He killed 3000 prisoners who had literally no weapons and he butchered them no mercy. He broke this treaty disgustingly. Saladin himself paid for the release of the prisoners who wanted to leave Jerusalem after the victory with his own money in which Richard didn't. Richard was a coward.
In reality we shouldn’t be comparing Richard and Saladin, in every battle they had with each other, Richard the Lion Heart annihilated Saladin who fled every battle. ✝
That is a childish comment, honestly. Saladin still was a good general and showed respect to Richard. Richard respected Saladin too. The best warriors respect the best warriors
@@Vntihero So? Richard was killed by a child. It's easy to downplay someone if you nitpick their failures. Just like Richard doesn't deserve to be looked down on for being killed by a kid, Saladin shouldn't have his achievements ignored because Richard got the better of him. Saladin still achieved a lot of victories and had a great Dynasty
@@Vntihero See? You continue to be childish. Henry V defeated France and then died of a mystery illness. Some of the greatest historical figures die unglamorous deaths. Hopefully you grow up some day. It would be a shame if you're still a child on your deathbed 🤣
Both Richard and Saladin had been raised in different cultures and standards. They were natural enemies because defending different values and faiths. Both fought bravely for their cause.

to be fair, it wasn't really decided that Jerusalem was Islams 3rd holiest city until the early 20th century. before that; Mecca and Medina were the undisputed two holiest cities, but there were many contenders for #3
Yasser Otmani I read about his night journey, but it doesn't mention Jerusalem by name, and there were many contenders for what was the true al Aqsa (the furthest point) some said it was Istanbul, some said it was al Abass in Karbala, some said it was in Damishq. It wasn't until modern times that Jerusalem was decided as it.
+Beni Habibi Its undisputed. Originally, people prayed toward Jerusalem, and not Mecca, because of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, but it changed to Mecca later on during the prophet's life.
I am fairly sure this is not the proper story of Saladin. I am fairly sure Saladin was a General of Nora-dine King of Damascus and was involved with his Jihad upon the Crusader States, and did not claim his title in Egypt until 1165. Some people claim he actually killed Caym and took Egypt and then turned on Nora-dine. I am also fairly sure he did not march on Jerusalem until after the Crusaders had attacked Muslim pilgrims traveling to holy places.
trevorpitts1 While i do agree with you entirely, and since I am not religious in the slightest and understand history is speculative. Regarding Saladin; we do have plenty of historical documentation to work with. Sadly this documentary did not take into account a lot of what we know regarding Saladin and speculated on a lot of his motives without looking at the facts. I watched this documentary excited to learn something about what a lot of historical scholars consider one of the best military minds of his day. I must say i was gravely disappointed.
Benn Y Stimson Completely agree. The Crusades where the Catholic version of a jihad. And while they are glorified today by western people as a strong showing of faith; largely fro the religious community, the Hospitallers and the Knights Templar unleashed chaos upon a civilization and a society that was pushing the boundaries of philosophy and medicine. The consolidation of documents from the ancient world and the leap forward in the study of mathematics to the early Christians was just as scary as freedom of religion and a free society is today to jihad elements of the Islamic world. If only people would look to history to see what radical ideology and national fervor can do to a society. Hindsight should always be 20/20.
@@clivegraham3088 not just that if you win how then can you defend and get supplies... Richard new deep down he couldn't hold Jerusalem nobody could....
Richard, unlike most others, led his men into battle personally. All ways in the thick of the fighting Sometimes against three or four at a time..... No one could beat him
This documentary leaves out alot of important details and the narrator's dialog makes many observations that aren't support by facts that are presented. Where is the mention of 100,000 German troops marching to join him? (who eventually turn back) or mention of the French and the French Army that actually arrived and participated in the initial siege before Richard arrived, and whom eventually left because of frustration with Richard? What of the christian politics and leaders already present at Acre? There are two Kings of Jerusalem leading the Christians at Acre already...and no mention. It's all Richard and Saladin. This documentary's main failing is omission of detail that create a more complex picture.
I read that part of the French army left with their King after he got very ill at Acre and than a other part of the French contingent went with Richard down south along the coast after leaving Acre iirc
+Joe Huettl they could have incinerated him or other things sea. If they wanted to hide the body they could have identified Body first. And why did the ones who were supposed to have captured him were all killed accidentally ? Because dead men can't talk. Also if you believe he was hiding behind his wife your type that believes in Santa Claus and Diana was killed accidentally and pigs fly.
+James Pitt ...why do you think they took him to the aircraft carrier dumbass? Because that's where the closest DNA lab was located...then they tossed him overboard. Jeez, get your head out of your ass...your stupidity is showing.

Richard was a criminal: Richard handed Salah-ed-Din a defeat, and Richard executed 2,700 Turkish captives after accepting a ransom payment for them, but they retreated before capturing Jerusalem, essentially achieving nothing other than confirming Salah-ed-Din's image of Christians as untrustworthy barbarians.
Which was the most important city of Christendom. After the Crusaders took back Jerusalem, they actually made peace with most of their Muslim neighbors, and even helped Muslims fight against other aggressive Muslims such as the Sultan of Baghdad. They made peace with Egypt and would protect them for a long time against other attack Muslims, it was only after Saladin took Egypt that Egypt became an enemy of the Crusader States.
Lol teaming up with a weaker Muslim side against the stronger side is now helping muslims right? I wonder what would have happened if the stronger side would totally get beaten and what would have happened to the Egypt when THE REAL HELP WOULD HAVE COME TO THEM LOL
What splendid scholar John Gillingham is. Though he was a masterful warrior, Richard was not his father Henry II. He would have been wiser to have done as his great father had and prudently determined to rule his own vast empire rather that ruinously bankrupt it on a crusade that achieved little tangible political advantage.
In those days the World was ruled by the Catholics.....all for one and one for all....... with the Pope who dictated that the Holy land needed to be under Cristian control not the Heathens.......religion makes people think like that......as for the Crusades.....never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
Check the 3rd crusade. Richard is out numbered and surrounded and he master minds a victory. Both great tacticians but I think Richard edges it after watching that 3rd crusade.
77777Spooky :: Christianity I should religion of peace but Islam never can a religion of peace: Just look at the AlQaeda and it's ideology of genocides and destructions throughout the world, and don't forget the bombing of World Trade Center, New York, which caused loss of millions of billions of dollars in term of money, and that evil deed was done in the name of Jihad, Islam, even then you would say Islam is peace ? Look at the ISIS in Syria and Iraq and their evil genocides, Destructions, rapes, sex slaves beheadings by Bagdadi and his minions in the name of Islam, even then are you going to say Islam is the champion of peace ? Look at Afghanistan where there is daily bombing and killing by the Taliban terrorists in the name of their blood thirsty Allah and obnoxious Islam, even after that will you call Islam is the champion of peace ? Look at Pakistan as the factory and exporter of terrorists in the name of their God damned Allah and Islam as in Pakistan Al Qaeda, Taliban, Laskar e Toiba Jaish e Mohammad, Laskar e Jhangvi, Hizbul Mujahideen, Jamaat e Islam. we're and are harboured, financed, trained and exported against the neighboring countries, all in the name of their blood thirsty Allah and pernicious Islam, even after that also you would call Islam a peaceful religion ? ,Look at African muslim countries, Boko Haram Islamic terrorists are killing thousands of innocent people in Nigeria and Kenya in the name of bloody Islam, and you call Islam peaceful ? Look at Al Shabab Islamic terrorists in Somalia who in killing spree of innocent people in the name of Islamism, even than you call Isla is peaceful ? Look at the Islamist terrorist attacks in London, Paris, Germany, Holland, India, Norway, Sweden, Russia, even after those horrific events carried out in the name of Islam you want to say Islam is peaceful ? So Islam means negation of peace, humanity, milk of human kindness, falsehood, deception, lies, Violence . Muslims have no courage to confront the truth and facts but always try to hide it and start telling lies . Don't base your reasoning on biased prejudiced and partial Video shows which are financed by the Petro dollars of Arab countries.
Question is it meant to be Saladin on the white horse of the 4 horsemen. I know all their flag's are based on the colors of the horses White Green Red and Black?.
Salaudin and Richard showed so much respect despite being enemies, which is very rare in todays world.

My respects to Richard Lion Heart and Saladin
Honorous fighters and noble man.
Fascinating & entertaining! Very well done! Much thanx! ❤
40:24 it was said that Saladin sent his physicians to treat Richard and prescribed him fruit. The one of the most common illness that European suffer from was Dysentery, from which consuming fruits aid the patient who suffer from this illness.
Bare in mind Richard Brother John died from this illness.
Yup and Richard repayed him by slaughtering innocent people
Lol

Heartily agree,,,,fun learning
I can summarize Salahdin in 2 sentences
1. he died as POOR king (all his riches were given to poor - his sons inherited nothing)
2. took jeresulaem back and spare christains and allowed jweish to live in it
Sean q its people like sean which lead us to look for other sources to verify everything. If you notice a statement pattern, nothing good comes out of his mouth about Saladin. This is why, I hardly ever trust anything I read even in books... you always have to verify your sources.
When Saladin took Jerusalem from Balian, he offered him safe passage but other people didnt get the same chance as Balian. They have to pay a ransom in order to leave the city and if they cant afford it, they were sold to slavery. It is true Saladin was religiously tolerant but also remember he is also a politician.
TheHarslord yup
he was smart politician
who want to be known as merciful
even so he may did that as political move (and we can know he thoughts)
but good deeds count as good one whatever ur objective is.
THE FACT THAT WHEN CRUSADERS TOOK JERUSLEM THEY MASSCAREED 500 THOUSAND MUSLIM AND JEWS
ans salah didnt
mohammed zayed How 500k? The city only had about 50k inhabitants.

In England, royalty and nobility were primarily descended from French nobility after the Norman conquest in 1066. As a result, they spoke a variant or dialect of French known as Anglo-Norman. Some of the old Anglo-Saxon nobility embraced the language and culture of these new noblity. The rest of the population continued to speak their Anglo-Saxon language. Over the centuries, Anglo-Norman and Anglo-Saxon languages merged to become the English language.
Its clear that the narrator/producer omitted and neglected SalahEddine bravery and valor while showing that Ritchard has the upper hands and gave him Excuses for retreat and withdrawal . May God have mercy on Salaheddin who show the people the mercy even he had the power
True. Agreed. Saladin’s generosity even for his enemies, and medical care given to the wounded, and aid even to fight, religious freedoms -are unmatched in history. They purposely left these true valorous deeds out of their agenda.

How can we watch this documentary in a very very good picture quality. The one available here on RUclips isn’t that great. Can someone help me
What, truly, drove French-English King Richard Coeur de Lion [Lionheart] 1 of England to lose heart before capturing Jerusalem from Arab Leader Saladin, in my minds eye, was not the question ''Can my army capture the city fortress?'' but the real question ''Can what remains of my army after the capture hold the city fortress long-term without massive and constant resupply of men and weapons?'' The real truthful answer would have had to be an absolute ''No''.
He was a great commander tactician and despite many other negatively statements he acted in the best interest of his men.
Thats like saying 'Man im gonna die anyway so why shud i live.' If he had some balls atleast he wudve attempted to capture it instead of thinking how to defend it. I mean what stupid logic is that. News Flash Richard the Bum --- First u need to capture the shit to defend it u idiot😡😡😡

the crusades was a 2 way war of people fighting over the same land. there was no doubt a religious motive in both however there was also a mutual respect (Salaladin gave his best doctor to Richard when he was sick) i know people only want to hear of the battles hear of the blood shed and that many people propose that religion is the source of all this world's ills but that is like looking at a mighty river and blaming a single stream that merged into it.
Hey dude , it was completely about religion . One of Islam's holiest shrines is in Jerusalem . As is Christianity's .

@@revanofkorriban1505 but Richard never captured Jerusalem and it was always Saladins till his death
I never said that Richard captured Jerusalem. But in battle, Richard was the superior leader. He was also a capable logistician, who understood that he did not have sufficient troops to hold Jerusalem, even if he took it. Thing is, Richard simply didn't have enough bodies. Saladin, who was fighting closer to his own territory, had access to a much more vast pool to draw his manpower from, as well as other logistical leg-ups.
Both Saladin and Richard were great leaders… but Saladin did have the advantage of fighting close to home, where Richard was thousands of miles away from England.
Both were unsatisfied with the peace; Saladin thought the Crusaders would use their foothold on the coast to retake Jerusalem, whereas the Crusaders were disappointed that they did not succeed in the final goal, even if they had secured a beachhead.
Richard was not beaten by Saladin. He simply had considerably less manpower and was facing intrigues by his treacherous brother. He won the battles, but Saladin and the problematic logistical situation of taking Jerusalem without the important castles around it, prevented him from finishing the Crusade's objectives.
Richards was not a great leader. He should be called Richard the coward. He killed 3000 prisoners who had literally no weapons and he butchered them no mercy. He broke this treaty disgustingly. Saladin himself paid for the release of the prisoners who wanted to leave Jerusalem after the victory with his own money in which Richard didn't. Richard was a coward.
why didn't Robin Earl of Loxley fight in the Crusades?
Saladin refused to exchange 1000s of prisoner lives for what was to him a piece of wood?
He probably thought he could ransom it for something even more valuable
In reality we shouldn’t be comparing Richard and Saladin, in every battle they had with each other, Richard the Lion Heart annihilated Saladin who fled every battle. ✝

to be fair, it wasn't really decided that Jerusalem was Islams 3rd holiest city until the early 20th century. before that; Mecca and Medina were the undisputed two holiest cities, but there were many contenders for #3
Read about Prophet Muhammad's night of ascension to the heavens and you'll get why its important to the Muslims,,,
Not only that, but we also think its important because of King Suleiman (Solomon) and Mary and Jesus ....
Yasser Otmani I read about his night journey, but it doesn't mention Jerusalem by name, and there were many contenders for what was the true al Aqsa (the furthest point) some said it was Istanbul, some said it was al Abass in Karbala, some said it was in Damishq.
It wasn't until modern times that Jerusalem was decided as it.
+Beni Habibi Its undisputed. Originally, people prayed toward Jerusalem, and not Mecca, because of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, but it changed to Mecca later on during the prophet's life.

Richard, the lion heart finally turned out to be the Finest Warrior !!!
I am fairly sure this is not the proper story of Saladin. I am fairly sure Saladin was a General of Nora-dine King of Damascus and was involved with his Jihad upon the Crusader States, and did not claim his title in Egypt until 1165. Some people claim he actually killed Caym and took Egypt and then turned on Nora-dine. I am also fairly sure he did not march on Jerusalem until after the Crusaders had attacked Muslim pilgrims traveling to holy places.
trevorpitts1 While i do agree with you entirely, and since I am not religious in the slightest and understand history is speculative. Regarding Saladin; we do have plenty of historical documentation to work with. Sadly this documentary did not take into account a lot of what we know regarding Saladin and speculated on a lot of his motives without looking at the facts. I watched this documentary excited to learn something about what a lot of historical scholars consider one of the best military minds of his day. I must say i was gravely disappointed.
Benn Y Stimson Completely agree. The Crusades where the Catholic version of a jihad. And while they are glorified today by western people as a strong showing of faith; largely fro the religious community, the Hospitallers and the Knights Templar unleashed chaos upon a civilization and a society that was pushing the boundaries of philosophy and medicine. The consolidation of documents from the ancient world and the leap forward in the study of mathematics to the early Christians was just as scary as freedom of religion and a free society is today to jihad elements of the Islamic world. If only people would look to history to see what radical ideology and national fervor can do to a society. Hindsight should always be 20/20.

This documentary leaves out alot of important details and the narrator's dialog makes many observations that aren't support by facts that are presented.
Where is the mention of 100,000 German troops marching to join him? (who eventually turn back) or mention of the French and the French Army that actually arrived and participated in the initial siege before Richard arrived, and whom eventually left because of frustration with Richard? What of the christian politics and leaders already present at Acre? There are two Kings of Jerusalem leading the Christians at Acre already...and no mention. It's all Richard and Saladin.
This documentary's main failing is omission of detail that create a more complex picture.
I read that part of the French army left with their King after he got very ill at Acre and than a other part of the French contingent went with Richard down south along the coast after leaving Acre iirc

Richard was a criminal:
Richard handed Salah-ed-Din a defeat, and Richard executed 2,700 Turkish captives after accepting a ransom payment for them, but they retreated before capturing Jerusalem, essentially achieving nothing other than confirming Salah-ed-Din's image of Christians as untrustworthy barbarians.
Which was the most important city of Christendom. After the Crusaders took back Jerusalem, they actually made peace with most of their Muslim neighbors, and even helped Muslims fight against other aggressive Muslims such as the Sultan of Baghdad. They made peace with Egypt and would protect them for a long time against other attack Muslims, it was only after Saladin took Egypt that Egypt became an enemy of the Crusader States.
Crap
Dont whitewash history
Lol teaming up with a weaker Muslim side against the stronger side is now helping muslims right? I wonder what would have happened if the stronger side would totally get beaten and what would have happened to the Egypt when THE REAL HELP WOULD HAVE COME TO THEM LOL
What splendid scholar John Gillingham is. Though he was a masterful warrior, Richard was not his father Henry II. He would have been wiser to have done as his great father had and prudently determined to rule his own vast empire rather that ruinously bankrupt it on a crusade that achieved little tangible political advantage.
In those days the World was ruled by the Catholics.....all for one and one for all....... with the Pope who dictated that the Holy land needed to be under Cristian control not the Heathens.......religion makes people think like that......as for the Crusades.....never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
Great videos
Richard goes home without securing Jerusalem and dies before he reaches England.
@Gabriel Petkov still got shit on hahahaha
saladin is a great tactician richard is great on weapon and battlefield skill
Both are great tacticians
Check the 3rd crusade. Richard is out numbered and surrounded and he master minds a victory. Both great tacticians but I think Richard edges it after watching that 3rd crusade.
@@scottjohnson9300 yes bro, but both are respected leaders
Christianity and Islam were meant to be religions of peace. Violence in the name of God/Allah is blasphemy. Always.
But it is so easy to take and maintain political power when you demonize the metaphorical other.
77777Spooky :: Christianity I should religion of peace but Islam never can a religion of peace: Just look at the AlQaeda and it's ideology of genocides and destructions throughout the world, and don't forget the bombing of World Trade Center, New York, which caused loss of millions of billions of dollars in term of money, and that evil deed was done in the name of Jihad, Islam, even then you would say Islam is peace ? Look at the ISIS in Syria and Iraq and their evil genocides, Destructions, rapes, sex slaves beheadings by Bagdadi and his minions in the name of Islam, even then are you going to say Islam is the champion of peace ? Look at Afghanistan where there is daily bombing and killing by the Taliban terrorists in the name of their blood thirsty Allah and obnoxious Islam, even after that will you call Islam is the champion of peace ? Look at Pakistan as the factory and exporter of terrorists in the name of their God damned Allah and Islam as in Pakistan Al Qaeda, Taliban, Laskar e Toiba Jaish e Mohammad, Laskar e Jhangvi, Hizbul Mujahideen, Jamaat e Islam. we're and are harboured, financed, trained and exported against the neighboring countries, all in the name of their blood thirsty Allah and pernicious Islam, even after that also you would call Islam a peaceful religion ? ,Look at African muslim countries, Boko Haram Islamic terrorists are killing thousands of innocent people in Nigeria and Kenya in the name of bloody Islam, and you call Islam peaceful ? Look at Al Shabab Islamic terrorists in Somalia who in killing spree of innocent people in the name of Islamism, even than you call Isla is peaceful ? Look at the Islamist terrorist attacks in London, Paris, Germany, Holland, India, Norway, Sweden, Russia, even after those horrific events carried out in the name of Islam you want to say Islam is peaceful ? So Islam means negation of peace, humanity, milk of human kindness, falsehood, deception, lies, Violence . Muslims have no courage to confront the truth and facts but always try to hide it and start telling lies . Don't base your reasoning on biased prejudiced and partial Video shows which are financed by the Petro dollars of Arab countries.
Sorry, what?
