Our historical animated documentary series on the Third Crusade started out with the siege of Acre in 1189, but this siege continued in 1190 and 1191. This second portion of this battle continues to feature many colorful characters - most importantly the first meeting between the King of England Richard Lionheart and the Ayyubid Sultan Salah ad-din Ayyubi

A couple fun side stories regarding this siege. I went to school in Austria, so that's where I first heard about them.
First, at some point during it, after one of the fights, the Duke of Austria and commander of the German contingent Leopold V, was supposedly soaked in blood. He wore a pure white tunic, and when he took off his belt, it left a white stripe on a sea of red. He took this as his new personal banner, which the Holy Roman Emperor allowed him to keep, and it's still the flag of Austria to this day.
Second, King Richard treated that same Duke like crap. Leopold wanted to be treated as an equal to Richard and Philip- he was the current leader of the German faction in the siege, and felt it was his right- and Richard refused, even tearing down Leopold's (new) banner during a celebration event. Shortly after the siege ended, Leopold quit the crusade and went back to Austria. Almost a year after Acre, when Richard finally went back to England, during his trip he was forced to go through Austria, where he was captured and imprisoned for about a year and a half until he was finally ransomed (for which Leopold was excommunicated- Christians weren't supposed to do that to a crusader). So if you've ever wondered why it took so long for Richard to return home after the crusade while John was trying to claim the throne of England... there you go.
Also, the ransom England had to pay for Richard was enormous. Propelled Leopold into a position of immense power, and significantly weakened England.
@@BALLARDTWIN he never went to England during his reign

@@BALLARDTWIN He was in a German prison, because Leopold of Austria was butthurt about not being allowed to claim 1/3 of the spoils when Acre fell.

@Killuminati S4M I was being sarcastic about them never aggressing.
@@allanhouston22 crusaders are in no way compared to nazis. lol idiot
The third Crusade is really interesting. No one won being aggressive. Saladin lost quite few battles when he tried to invade the coastal areas including at Arsuf and Jaffa. Richard lost at the last siege of Jerusalem so far I know. Obviously, it all ended in Sultan Baibar's reign
@@theghostlymegalodon7203 He was at the gates of Jerusalem some twice. Once he retreated due to winter and once due to disagreement among his officers.
@@theghostlymegalodon7203 Yeah he might have been able to take Jerusalem if he hadn't been forced to return to Europe to defend his own kingdom. He decisively defeated Saladin several times
Rowshon Nabi The overwhelming majority of officers wanted to attack Jerusalem, its why they came for! Richard was in command and it’s very strange he gave the order them to turn back twice, from what would have been the Lionhart’s crowning victory.
I think Richard knew that besieging Jerusalem was walking into the Lions den (pun intended). Saladin had focused everything on defending Jerusalem, still had 20-30,000 soldiers to deploy at will unlike the 2000 in Acre. Jerusalem was inland and didn’t have the comfort like Acre of being a coastal city next to crusader supply lines besieged from land and sea. Saladin didn’t allow any castles to be built along this stretch of land to make sure Richard supply lines can’t be secure or cut off. So in the end Richard became cautious like Saladin was at the start of the 3rd crusade and won a couple of skirmishes & coastal towns but never got Jerusalem.
@@Saracen. I don't care whatever you say. It was not Saladin who defended the city, it was ALLAH (SWT) Himself who defended the city
@Gladius pax You are not wrong.

Consistent theme throughout history; the germ is mightier than the sword
9:19 battle of canae at sea
Hmmm... Except that the siege ended with bloodshed when the negotiations actually broke down and Richard beheaded around 3000 thousands of the Muslim hostages he held, including women and children, in front of Saladin's army.
Therefore, the exchange never happened, True Cross was never recovered by the Crusaders. And Saladin executed 2300 Christian prisoners in retaliation.

This was very interesting and I am happy to have heard that part about the different formulas of Greek Fire that Saladins army had.
I read a few different sources about Saladin using Greek fire against crusaders, this reinforced it for me.
The ayyubids generally speaking had good military technology.
The specialist combustible called ali is news to me, it was a known fact that many scientists of Syria knew the formula of Greek Fire, some say it went back to ummayad times when they learnt the formula from a Syrian Christian who had a position inside the eastern roman government.
Lol as usual uncultured nomad desert Arabs stealing Classical European knowledge and inventions because they had none of their own.
Augustus C. Yeah because this broader modern usage & context of “European” really existed in those times. The ancient Hellenic people & today the islander greeks who are actually the closest to the Greeks of old, are a Mediterranean people, both culturally, customs wise and even genetics wise. They both are mainly of Anatolian stock, they are similar to most East meds & North Levantines. These blanket terms to describe people are fallacious, they are used by modern people to boost this “greater Europeanism” nearly all the classical so called “European stuff” is actually Mediterranean & Near Eastern. Lol 👍
Superior military technology and he still lost to Richard the lion heart
Salute to the courage, power, patience, wisdom, bravery and strategy of Salahudin Ayubi.
Delay in attack and delay in accepting surrender has caused all this.
I can't understand Salahdin's hesitance to attack. Why didn't he just attack an outnumbered and surrounded enemy. Patience is not always a virtue.
Their army was exhausted, but my reason is that Saladin's disease muddled his logic.
@@user-fg3xw6wd6i he was old and sick over at that time
The german army from the north
He could have at least tried making some concerted skirmishes against the Crusaders even if he wasn't willing to commit his full force. That would have at least gave the garrison a fighting chance.
Why did he let them dig in ... why didn't he constantly harass the camp and not give any chance for such a strong encampment to take place?

It was basically european crusaders making a really stupid move by attacking damascus, which at the time was allied to the kingdom of jerusalem, when the local crusaders objected this move, the european crusaders accused them of complicity with the muslims. Then left the siege. This made damascus open its gates to Nureddin mahmud and his zengid kingdom leading the way to Egypt and the reunification of Islam against the crusaders.

*The arabs were master builders of forts*
So were europeans, in fact the strongest stronghold in the middle east was a crusader bastion if I am correct.
*had greek&naft fire technology*
I give you that, however in field battles this wasn't really that usefull and the crusaders even in our timeline controlled the seas after Acre.
*and their main troops were well armored and well trained*
The same goes for the crusaders, they didn't bring levied peasants or whatever with them, these were all well trained and well equiped troops.
*have desert on their side*
Yeah, somewhat, however the experienced crusaders would also already have experience with the desert and could help new crusaders with this. Furthermore the crusaders would have learned from the battle of Hattin how important terrain and water is in these regions.
*Mongols had their first major defeat west against them*
Yes, they did. However this was against a rather small mongol contingent which was left behind to defend the region. furthermore the mamluks had a more militaristic nobility. Also, there is a 70 year gap between the battle of Ain Jalut and the third crusade, therefor this fact isn't relevant to the events of the third crusade.
@@LauftFafa Could you repost your last comment, I saw you posted it but can't see it.
@@LauftFafa the mongol had gunpowder weaponry and a massive mobile army. I doubt that greek fire is usefull.
@Remember the legend Well it wasn't a Christian victory, it was a tie. Realistically, it could have gone either way. Richard's problems taking Jerusalem and the non-coastal areas of Outremer weren't due to insufficient troops, they had to do with supply and logistics. So adding a massive German army to the mix, and ANOTHER King, who would have likely challenged Richard for leadership and created dissention within the Crusader ranks the same way Phillip of France did, would not have necessarily ensured a Christian victory. It might have made a Christian victory more likely, but it's equally likely that a strong German contingent under Frederick Barbarossa would have led the army to march away from water sources and into the teeth of destruction like what happened at Hattin.
The French vassals were CONSTANTLY trying to get Richard to just march at Jerusalem, supply lines be damned, and it was only his strategic sense and discipline that prevented the Crusade from taking that route and being surrounded and destroyed by Saladin's numbers. Adding the Holy Roman Emperor to that pot might have actually made the Muslims MORE likely to win, if he also favored pushing toward Jerusalem instead of more cautious tactics.
LuftWaffe ME 109bf
The French historian who were in the 7 crusade against Egypt said that the Egyptian used against them “ a weapon they never knew or seen and make a loud noise” which they claim to be Greek fire , but Greek fire were known since the 8 century, many historians believed this weapons to be early form of guns or canon !

@@nicholasmaniccia1005 I just feel like , the characters in the stories don't behave because they will
They behave because the narrator wills
I feel like there is nothing real or impressive to stories because most writers write the end first and then go after the story
On the other hand , in history none knows the future
Look at Saladin for example , he didn't know that he would lose the city if he just stood there and sieged the besieging army
I think the lesson here is to show some goddamn initiative. Saladin had several chances to break the siege but abandoned each one due to general caution or the fear of Barbarossa, which was ultimately an unfounded fear. Had Saladin focused on swiftly smashing the crusaders and regrouping to face Barbarossa he would have achieved a major victory instead of a slow, drawn out siege that he ended up losing anyway.

It was used as a justification for Richard‘s capture on his way home by Leopold‘s men. - which in itself became quite tumultuous with his mother, Eleonore of Aquitaine requisitioning every coin available to pay for his release, while his brother John and his liege lord, king Philip offered an even greater ransom to keep him in capture.
Richard the lion heart was abit of a lad
Acre: "We wish to surrender!"
Crusaders: "No! We want to win the GLORIOUS hard way."
*Hard battle ensues. Crusaders lose thousands. Gains no ground.*
Acre: "We wish to surrender!"
Crusaders: "No! We want to win the GLORIOUS hard way."
*Another hard battle ensues. Crusaders lose thousands more. Gains little ground.*
*More Crusaders arrive. Victory is eminent.*
Acre: "We wish to surrender! We'll give you money. Wink, wink."
Crusaders: "Okay."
Early upload gang!
Loved that little recap in the beginning really helped me get back in
I broke my mouse click for clicking on this video so fast
Great work again! Loved the character which shines through Richard and Saladin, and the rest is cinrmatic as always!
Can anyone name some battles fought between Saladin and Richard other than Acre, Jaffa and Arsuf
Battle of Hattin
@@darkzi1431in Hattin, there was no Richard
@@umaransari9765 my bad, I remember 2 generals or kings, 1 executed and 1 spared.
@@darkzi1431 1 was Guy of Lusigian and other was Reginald of Chatillon
@@umaransari9765 Raynald de Chatillion, but he wasn't a King he was just a baron and an agitator.
This deserves to be remembered. Thank you.
Will Philip Augustus and Richard Lionheart continue their romance, or will their relationship begin to crack due to sexyboy Saladin ? Find out next time, same Kings channel, same Generals youtubers.
I think it will crack due to the sexyboy 😂
unghhhhh I fucking love this channel. Keep up the medieval History!!
4:45 - Can we get a bowel-shattering F in the chat please?
:'(
love your vids i was waiting for this
How did the muslims get their hands on greek fire ? Was this a variant of this weapon, which was less effective ?
We see the mentions of "nafta" in many Muslim sources. It is not clear if the formula was the same.
This would eventually happen with almost 500 years of Roman muslim rivalry and trade alike.
“Regal stretcher” I don’t know what makes a stretcher Royal, but that must’ve been a hell of a stretcher.
Please make a video of Shah Ismail of Persia
How he got rekt by Ottoman sultan Selim I ?
I was referring to his earlier conquests. Most historical figures gets rekt sometimes you know. Like Yavuz Sultan Selim's son
He already did
@@ahamedihamiyun5927 yeah, that was the part were he got rekt by Selim. As I said, I was referring to Ismail's earlier conquests, his rise to power, and all that
I knew very little about what happened in this battle. But now I'm glad to have been made aware of it. I would love it if this channel covered the other crusades too. Especially the first and second crusades. My compliments to those who made this video a reality.
France was never part of England.
at that time, England was part of the Angevin Empire because England kings were French since Hasting 1066. England was France, and England is a former French colony.
dieu et mon droit is not England, but French.
Calm down you Baguette. You're a former Roman colony.
@@JohnMacbeth yes, as most of the countries in EU. which does not change the fact that England was a French colony and that French was the official language of England for 300 years.
ps: you can also call me 3 stars restaurant or Champagne Boy. i assume you come from a country with no cuisine culture.
10:26 : "His anxiety prevented him FROM FROM concentrating ..."
Wait, what about the massacre of the muslim prisoners?
They would starve to death because there was not enough food for everyone, and those muslim prisioners where Saladin's soldiers, those deaths are in Saladin's hands, not Richard
@@adamskatheocelot3949 I'm not gonna comment of how much bullshit that is, most of those deaths weren't even soldiers and massacring prisoners is never right.
But my question was about why they didn't include this in the video. That's all.
@@y.r._ Well, I have my sources and I didn't say that killing prisioners is right
@@y.r._ It will probably be at the beginning of the next video, since it involves the preparations Richard was making for the southward march toward Jerusalem after Acre was taken by the Christians.
@@adamskatheocelot3949 Ah, you have "your sources". Totally believeable. I guess some kind of secret CIA facts about an event 800 years ago. Let me guess, your name is karon and you don't believe the "mainstream media fake news".
"Again the city tried to surrender asking only for their lives, but again the crusaders refused." Wow, what a bunch of psychos, are there still people like that?
Although I appreciate your effort for making such a good depiction of history which justifies it's length. But you should have also mentioned the following events apart from combats regarding the episodes as you were doing.
1) Richard offered his sister's hand - Joanna in marriage with Saladin's brother Al-Adil in exchange of jointly sharing the kingdom.
2) Richard didn't demand for snow and fruits, Saladin, sent them by himself showing his generosity when he found out that Richard fall ill.
3) And foremost, Richard never returned the Muslim prisoners from Acre, he slaughtered them and thus causing the true cross to be lost forever.
And again, we have seen how you used the words like "bravery" "extreme valour" and "determination" for Christians when they are attacked by Muslims but not once for Muslims when they were attacked by Christians. I had high hopes that you'll balance this exaggeration in Acre but you disappointed. The way Muslims hold Acre for so long against continuous arrival of enemy and being cut off from outer world and there sultan in no position to help, but still they pushed off the aggressors. Was it not the bravery equal to if not superior as you claim the crusaders shown in siege of Rhodes???
You have always used the term "Invaders" along side Muslims whenever they invaded Europe but not a single time you called the crusaders the same when they were invading Muslim lands.
> You have always used the term "Invaders" along side Muslims whenever they invaded Europe but not a single time you called the crusaders the same when they were invading Muslim lands
Yeah I noticed that too. I ignored it for a while because it didn't affect the quality of the videos that much but it still irked me.
@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva
No, Salahuddin didn't delay the shipment, the problem was that Richard couldn't wait and bear the cost of keeping prisoners as the crusaders were eager to go for Al Quds, but even though if we agree that the negotiations somehow failed, it was still against the middle ages laws that you kill prisoners, you either exchange them, ransom them or sold them into slavery but you never kill them. Killing prisoners of war was a treacherous and barbaric act since then till now.
None of those things have happened yet by the time that this video ends. Perhaps we'll hear about them in subsequent videos.
If you look closely you can see Landry fighting at the docks
We're about 100 years too early for that. That was 1291.
Battle of maritsa
Yes, please
Which did you use for music.
Two missed oportunities to take Acre without bloodshed, what a shame
Well at the end,evil lost.
@@tasinal-hassan8268 which evil can you specify?
Just to make imaginary dude in sky please
The achievements though.
The failed infantry assault at 14:30 might have been a blessing in disguise for the crusaders. They lost their least discilined troops. And the following winter would have killed many more though decease and hunger if there were more mouths to feed.
19:55
I ll die or eter the city
He dies
Lol
LOL that would be hilarious to see the king just chilling on his stretcher, sniping Saracens with a crossbow XD
Please make a video on Maratha Empire.
One Of The Greatest Battles Of The Crusades With Great Commanders On Both Sides
Did you forget about Richard killing almost 3000 Muslim prisoners after they made the deal?
على ما اعتقد بدت القناة تنحاز الى ديانتهم
Yeah it wasn’t all peaceful. The last 3000 prisoners were beheaded by order of Richard himself. I think saladin prefered baldwin over richard.
@@Omegaeon1 Saladin respected Baldwin immensely. He was a good King indeed. Muslim residents of Jerusalem mourned his death.
Tasin Al-Hassan He didn't violate the terms, he just tried to delay as much as possible. It was a sound strategy on Saladin's part, it just didn't work because he underestimated Richard's ruthlessness. Saladin wanted to delay Richard from marching south as long as possible, because the closer they got to winter it meant the less time Richard would have before the campaigning season ended. Richard was desperate to march south as quickly as possible. Saladin was essentially bluffing, and Richard called him on it.
Richard's options with those prisoners were:
a) to not march south until Saladin paid the ransom, delaying his campaign and giving Saladin 5 extra months to shore up the defenses of Jerusalem and other southern cities; b) to leave them behind in Acre unguarded, where they could possibly retake the city from the Christian garrison when he marched; c) to leave them behind in Acre guarded, which would severely deplete the numbers of his army, and he needed every man to make the impending campaign work; or d) to kill all of them.
He made the only strategically sound decision available to him, immoral as it may have been.
@@SRosenberg203 Still immoral and dishonorable.
You made my Sunday, thanks
