Learning of Saladins shortcomings and weaknesses kinda made me like him more. He's not an undefeatable general like Alexander or Khalid ibn al Walid, in actuality he's kinda mediocre and that just makes him more human I guess?! He is not a legendary hero but a man who makes mistakes like the rest of us. And that makes his story even better because he is able to overcome all of that in his quest to unite the Muslims

What if Saladin and Richard's negotiations were accepted, and Aladil (Pardon if misspelled) and Richard's sister were married, creating this different type of Jerusalem. Whether converting to Christianity for the husband or the wife converting to Islam is a question for further research, among many other things, but still worthy for a thought experiment. Leave some honest thoughts. Maybe worth a story someday.

Just a suggestion, you ever thought about making a playlist of each of these as like "Full Stories"? So each episode in each series put together then put in a playlist?

Richard and Saladin both could have used better and more present allies in the crusade. Funny how much their situations mirrored one another.

Imagine how things could have changed if Alladil had not been pressed to convert. A multi denominational royal couple overseeing the holy land could have had massive political and social consequences, especially when considering the intermarrying of two dynasties on the rise. Ideally this would lead to an advance of mutual respect and understanding. Worst case the other powers with interests in the region get real spooked at this alliance and harry both dynasties in their homes, leading to even more chaos and violence.
