Saladin truly was a great and honorable man. There's a story that's told about him that when a Frankish Christian woman had her baby stolen and sold on the market, her countrymen told her to appeal to Saladin for aid. Without a second thought he bought the baby back using his own money.

[@yusufelbohoty]

Wow, the video came just in time when I was studying Saladin. My favorite leader for me in the Arab world and world wide

[@Numba003]

It’s a lot of fun to reflect on these great figures from history. I look forward to more great series in the future guys. Stay well out there everybody, and Jesus Christ be with you friends.😊

More like Charisma and Luck. Without charisma he will not be able to create favorable elements that eventually allow him to be lucky -- good and loyal brother, competing local kings that still support him just by sending letters, and sympathy that he received from his enemies which allowed him to took diplomatic action -- all comes from max CHA stats.

This is probably the best extra history series I have seen yet. Plenty of lesson to ponder about. Love the different perspectives brought in. Thank you EH crews.

As a CK2 player I know the true danger of Crusades, getting the results that Saladin got is not an easy feat especially without occupying Rome.

This just goes to show you, friendship is more powerful than rivalry. Especially when you consider that the deal brokered at the end of this crusade probably brought more peace to the area than any total victory by either side.... So I guess all we are saying.... 🎵IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE🎵

[@wolfaire9328]

One thing tikle my head : in french history books, Philippe Auguste (during the start of the third crusade) got the title "King of the Francs", which is translated in French by "Rois des Francs"; and after conquering Normandy, he modifie his title to "King of the Francs" into "King of France". But on the second episode, the presentator said that Philippe Auguste was King of France in all of the third crusade. Anyway, it is a great serie. You guys are awesome ;-)
