It was stupidity, look up the details of the actual battle.

Mamluks are good warriors don’t get me wrong. But yeah, a fully equipped European knight, especially one of a holy order. That’s the pinnacle of battlefield troops at the time.
In the text it is mentioned that, only 15.000 Midʹi·an·ites and other easterners remained after the great slaughter, as 120.000 men had already been killed, bringing the grand total of the initial coalition army to 135.000 men. That is not a far cry from what modern estimates calculate the Achaemenid force to have been . Furthermore, the 300 were not alone . Only during the last day, after the Hellenic coalition army found out the mountain passes had been breached, did the 300 Spartans and 1000 thespians heroically perform a rearguard action to allow the rest of the army to escape. The 300 did not hold the Persian horde on their own for the entire duration of those 3 days.
A policy which ironically hurt the late 1600s Ottoman army. Generals never gained experience from defeat because they were strangled at Topkapi and replaced with green nobles and administrators while the Habsburg generals like Eugene of Savoy and Montecuccoli became tactical savants with dozens of battles under their belts

There are many people who believe that Baldwin was too young to do that, but there are many differences between Muslims and Crusaders in this regard. An example of this is that Muslims are difficult to control, and if you want them to make their leader young, this is impossible because they do not know how to obey the orders of any normal leader, so what if their leader was a teenager, they would throw him away immediately because they are proud.
You can add onto it that crusaders believed that their kings had their power bestoyed upon them by God, which gave them much more legitimacy in their eyes regardless of their condition
personally I think having such an affliction at so young is what pushed him to be a great leader, too many leaders with an easy life have become selfish in pursuit of their own happiness.
yes... sadly it was ruined in editing. narration need to be louder than the background sound. unfortunately this is common mistake by many content creators
Great video! May i ask how you generated the graphics/art for this video? I am working on a crusades related project and would love to use these kinds of assets.
When you're feeling sick and unmotivated always remember King Baldwin won a great battle while riddled with Leprosy. I believe society has forgot what it means to fight for god, family, kingdom/nation
I believe that very early "Christians" forgot that Jesus said "...all that take up the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to m Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?" - Matthew 26:52,53. KJV
why does saladin have the byzantine symbol representing him? twisted sister The Saladin's eagle is most likely unrelated to the Roman one. Though, the Roman eagle is related to all the Imperial eagles used in Europe. The Byzantines inherited the eagle directly, then added a second head at some point in the 10th or 11th century. The two-headed eagle appears, often as a supporter, on the modern and historical arms and flags of Austria-Hungary, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Austria (1934-1938), Albania, Armenia, Montenegro, Russia and Serbia. It was also used as a charge on the Greek coat of arms for a brief period in 1925-1926.
I can't imagine what would've happened if Baldwin hadn't won, the World might've been much much different today. Praise God, and bless those who defend the innocent.
Imagine if he never had this sickness, he would have fought many battles and would have been known by many people not only in there area but all around the world
Saladin ( known as salad eater) by his people gained his power by starting a national chain ( 532 stores) of camel burgers and humus based fast food. Today, he is remembered as the salad guy with take our food who slept with goats.

This would have been amazing to see at the start kingdom of heaven, like LOTR opened with the battle on MT doom. We learn who are the main characters and the history between king Baldwin and Saladin. Just my two cents.
well Islam is all about spreading the religion by the sword. Christians and Jews are fine with each other for the most parts, it's the Muslims that are the issue here
