    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?

    Saladin was a truer knight than most of the Crusaders. I was shocked to learn that as a kid reading a biography of Richard I Leoncoeur and Salah-ah Din during the Third Crusade.
    One time he even sent a fresh Arabian war-trained stallion to Richard when he saw him on a sick nag before a battle.

    First time I learned about these events were from the Saladin campaign of Age of Empires 2. I was barely past counting my age in single digits, and it went a long way to stoking my interest in history. I found their telling of the story fascinating. I thought I'd mention it, since this video reminds me of them. :)

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.

He was a great leader who united all of the islamic nations under one banner and gave the Crusaders a nasty right hook to the face. Heck they called King Richard the Lionheart because he still faced Saladin without fear even though they all knew how much of a boss Saladin is.
