      Similarly, kings of old used to charge into the fray precisely when things became dangerously uncertain, because the simbolysm of their presence rallied the troops.
      So, in short, when you put something extremely valuable on the frontline, soldiers will fight harder because they don't want to lose it.

    My favorite story from the Crusades involves the horses. Christian knights on horseback used a long lance to spear their enemies. The Muslims tended to favor mounted bowmen to swoop in, rain down arrows and ride away. The Christians tended to favor stallions (male horses) that were bigger, stronger and willing to charge in to a body of men. The Muslim horse archers favored mares (girl horses). They were lighter, more nimble, more maneuverable. So, it seems to me that whenever the Muslims and Christians line up to face each other, the Christians want to kill the Muslims, the Muslims want to kill the Christians but the horses probably had very different ideas.

      @@adamnesico Not true. Well, not completely true. Not geldings. They would castrate them when they were adults, because they wanted them to grow into strong males first. When you let an animal get that old, the testosterone has already taken affect. Can't undo it. They still can get tempted by the heat of females, much easier than a young-cut gelding. Many didn't castrate at all to get the ultimate strength and to have the fullest aggression on the battlefield (pawing/biting). At least from what I've read. If you have different sources, please share. I have a keen interest in medieval/dark age/ancient cavalry and horse husbandry/training.

      @@unclebounce1495 I would be very interested in talking to you about this, my friend. From my reading of History it seems that 3 ‘horse people’ from different places and times make the accounts as the most feared, effective cavalry forces of their days. Earliest are the Parthians with their ability to charge in, run away and loosing arrows backwards over the horses rump, the famous ‘parting shot.’ The fact that the primary weapon mentioned with the Parthian cavalry is the bow, this makes them, by definition, light cavalry. Next, of course, is the Mongols. Now, the accounts say Mongols carried lances but it was the feigned retreat that gets written about time and again as being the deciding factor in their engagements. Lastly I’d rate the Comanches with them. Gen. Sherman called them “the finest light cavalry he’d ever seen.” The Comanches were famous for being able to slide down and around their horses necks to loose arrows under the galloping horses neck. Even when interactions were peaceful between US Cavalry and the Comanches, the accounts are full of stories of the American soldiers requesting the best cavalry horse and rider to race the most broken-down looking horse and rider the Comanches had and the Comanches always winning. These are three people, near as I can see, completely in tune with their horses. The descriptions about Comanches and Mongols are fairly consistent: observers said they actually looked strange and, almost, uncomfortable on the ground, but put them on the back of a horse and they became grace itself.

      That's not only with muslims as well. Mongols and Huns knew the potential of horses far better than common "European" eventho Huns most probably were ancestors to so many people with close ties to horsemanship. A nimble, more maneuverable horses were the "shtick" of Hun and Mongol Empire army with their horse archery.

      ⁠@@unclebounce1495Not geldings? By definition a gelding is a castrated horse, so I’m not sure what you mean by that. You have stallions, uncastrated horses; geldings, castrated horses; and mares, female horses.
      Coursers and Palfreys, their war horses, were usually mares or geldings for their temperament. Sumpters and rounceys almost always were mares or geldings. And destriers, their tournament horses, tended to be stallions. Destriers basically were also raised from foals to be willing to charge at another rider. Very aggressive horses.

      It’s a great movie!! Even better that it’s based on a true story, and those Christian old men were lying, saying that Saladin or his men attacked their convoy, which was not true, but that was just to get the Christians to wage war on the Arabs, and even a lot of the Christians knew they were lying. Yet, once the princess’s husband started it with the Arabs, SALADIN was not going to back down. What was horrible was after the king died and his son-in-law became king and that’s when hell came to Jerusalem.. I was hoping that the Baron would marry princess as her brother, the king requested. The king was going to get her marriage to Guy annulled. That young man was so good hearted he didn’t want to break up a marriage, but it would’ve been better for everyone if he would’ve done as the king requested, because that would’ve been his sacrifice to defend the king. Baron & Saladin were already friends.
      It was interesting how the Sultan’s servant was always finding this young man if he was injured or near death, and bringing him back to the sultan, and they would care for him until he got better, but the young Baron would’ve done the same for them

My favourite sign is when Liam Neeson's character says he fought for days with an arrow in his testicle. The Hospitaller quickly looks to the sky in question and then cringes. He cringes because he's gotten confirmation from God that he really did fight with an arrow in his testicle. He wasn't lying for bravado.

      The movie gets a lot right. Reynald's death is almost word for word what was recorded by Saladin's court historian. And the general sequence of events is accurate.
      Although there's also a lot of dramatic licence. Balian was much older than Orlando Bloom during the seige. And far from growing up in poverty, he grew up in his father's court, and inherited his father's barony from his older brother, who gifted it to him. Balian was heavily involved in the politics of Jerusalem long before the events of his movie, including attempting to marry his step daughter to various prospective kings.
      But he really did knight a lot of men-at-arms in defence of the city. And he and Saladin really did have a lot of respect for each other. Although Saladin's terms for surrender weren't quite as generous as depicted in the movie (Balian convinced Saladin to let occupants of the city ransom themselves, and emptied the city's treasury to pay for them. Thousands of people were still sold into slavery when they couldn't be ransomed, despite Balian offering himself as a hostage in exchange for their safe passage. Although Saladin and his sons released all of the slaves they took as their own share of the bounty).

      The timeline and events of the main story are correct, even if a few liberties were taken.
      It's the cartoonish portrayal of Europe and most of the crusaders as this backwards lunatic civilization, that historians have trouble with. Reynald was infamous for his actions, specifically because he was such an outlier. A troublemaker that people generally looked down upon. The movie paints the vast majority of the crusaders in the same way, and the more level headed individuals like Balian and Tiberius as the outliers.
      The scenes in France also look like they are 500 years earlier than they are supposed to be. This was late 1100s France, the High Middle Ages. An age of massive population growth, warm weather (compared to what came before and after), and a flowering of culture and art that hadn't been seen since the Roman Empire. This was the same people who built the gothic cathedrals, the first buildings to dwarf the ancient pyramids. The same people that had enough resources to invade and set up Christian Kingdoms in the heart of the Muslim world, the trade to see those kingdoms prosper, and the logistics, diplomatic skill and martial might to keep those kingdoms alive for close to 200 years.
      Some of the actions by Saladin are also changed to make him seem more of a saint, like giving all Christians free passage in the literal meaning of the word after the siege of Jerusalem, as opposed to what he actually did: Allowing them to purchase free passage, and enslaving all those who couldn't afford to pay, but his portrayal is generally fine. It's the crusader cartoon villains that's the main problem.

    I was living in Jerusalem when I saw this movie, and I actually found the climactic battle to be a laugh-out-loud moment. Because it was front of "Damascus Gate" on a wide open, desert plain. But... Jerusalem is up in the mountains, and the climate is that of Spain, Greece, Italy, and California. and there's not even a good level area in front of Damascus Gate.

    I always liked this movie, even though some people turn their noses up at it.
    In terms of historical accuracy, there are a few things it gets right. Including some lines directly plucked form the court records of Saladin (e.g. Raynald's death scene is portrayed accurately. Saladin really did give Guy de Lusignan a cup of water - essentially indicating that he did not intend to kill him - and Raynald really did either grab it or have it handed to him by Guy. Only for Saladin to remark "I did not give the cup to you" before striking Raynald dead. Although the historical record is unclear whether Saladin killed him personally or merely ordered it done).
    Balian also really did knight many men-at-arms in defense of the city. Although the real Balian was also considerably older than portrayed in the movie. And far from growing up without knowing his father, he had a noble upbringing and inherited his father's barony because his older brother didn't want it (as Balian's brother had married into a rich family and had better holdings of his own).
    The general outline of events is reasonably accurate, even if some of the characters are not quite portrayed accurately and there is a good deal of dramatic licence.
    Leporacy is completely curable in the modern world, but in the middle ages there wasn't really anything that could be done about it and it killed a lot of people.

    • @benj6670
      @benj6670 5 месяцев назад

      According to Ernoul, Balian of Ibelin's squire, this is what happened. Saladin presented Guy with a gold cup of water diluted with syrup, which Guy drank and then gave to Reynald. Reynald refused to drink from the cup which angered Saladin. Saladin then asked Reynald what he would do to him if he was his prisoner and Reynald said he'd cut his head off. Saladin then ran him through with his sword and had his men cut off Reynald's head.
      A Muslim chronicle from 14th century is the one depicted in the movie (sort of), in which Saladin gives Guy a cup of water covered in snow, Guy drinks from the cup and passes it to Reynald but before he can drink, Saladin says interrupts by saying he didn't give Reynald permission to drink, Saladin then proceeds to cut Reynald's throat.
