Saladin & the 3rd Crusade - Horns of Hattin - Extra History - #1

Guy de Lusignan, King of Jerusalem. Raymond III, Count of Tripoli. And The Grandmaster of the Knights Templar. Before them, they carry the True Cross, a piece of wood from the cross Christ died on, secured in an ornate silver box. And they’re on a rescue mission to relieve the besieged city of Tiberias. But they are not allies. Until a few days ago, these men were divided over a bitter succession crisis. However now they put that aside to face a threat so great no one kingdom can face it. The man who’d united the Muslim middle east against them: Saladin.

The Grand Master of the Templars was Gerard de Ridefort, a man not known to be a great general, but an ample warrior in his own right. His big flaw was that he had to be the one who led the campaigns, meaning that he was stubborn in pushing his plans forward. He was the one who insisted on that horrible march through the Tiberias Desert and resting on the plains without access to water. He was captured by Saladin and told he would be released if he could convince a Templar Stronghold to surrender. Reynald of Chatillon's raid of the Caravan had a bit more to it as it was rumored to hold a sister of Saladin among their number. In addition, the caravan was attacked during a truce that Reynald claimed he was not subscribed to. In any case, he wouldn't pay compensation, and that pissed Saladin off enough to demand the surrender of Jerusalem, which was enough for casus belli to Guy.

Richard the Lionheart's statue stands outside the Houses of Parliament in London, unveiled in 1856; there's also a question as to whether or not he was homosexual, although there are apparently accounts of him forcibly taking women.

Herkles

You called Egypt before it was conquered by Saladin as "shia kingdom" when it was far more being the Fatamid Caliphate.

Time for a Blackadder quote: "Yeeees...well, I don't think we're really needed here, Baldrick. I mean, everything seems to be going very well...everyone's fighting, clearly having the time of their lives. Why, some people over there aren't fighting...they're just lying down!" 1141 25th January In the Papal Kingdom, Pope-King Anacletus II Passes away in the City of Rome, Latium. He will be Remembered by Future Historians for continuing the Conflict against the Supporters of the Anti-Pope-King Victor II and his Failure to Suppress the Arnoldians, and for the continuing Decline of the Influence of the Papacy. 1144 24th December In the County of Edessa, Seljuk Forces Lead by Imad al-Din Zengi Capture the Fortress of Edessa after a Four ~ Week Siege. Thousands of the Inhabitants are Massacred and Women and Children are Sold into Slavery. Only Christians are Spared. Lacking the Forces needed to take on Zengi, Count Joscelin II Retires to his Fortress at Turbessel, from where he sends Requests for Reinforcements to the Byzantines and of Jerusalem. 1146 31st March In the Duchy of Burgundy, the Papal Legate Bernard of Clairvaux is Commissioned by -King Celestine II to Preach a new Crusade in Vézelay, Burgundy. King Philip II of France and his Wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, are Inspired to take up the Cross. Following his Success, Bernard undertakes a Tour of Burgundy, France, and Flanders, Preaching the Crusade as he goes. 1147 In the Holy Roman Empire, a Second Crusader [some 20,000 Men] Depart from Regensburg, , Commanded in Person by King Conrad III of Germany. The Holy Roman Crusaders Pass into Hungary, Planning to take the Overland Route into Asia Minor and through Syria to Reach the Holy Land. 1150 In the Kingdom of Jerusalem, King Philip II of France and Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine Sail Back to France on Board Separate Sicilian Vessels. Upon Returning to Europe, many of the Crusaders will be Subject to Public Scorn because they, Christians, Failed to Recapture Edessa from the Infidels. 1165 The Seljuks and the Abbasid Caliphate Sign a Peace Treaty, Establishing a Border between the Two Empires. 1182 18th February In the Chinese Empire, some Prominent Army Generals cut their Allegiance to the Huangdi and Declare that they are now in Power. However, a Large Portion of the Army and the Population Huangdi Feiling, who Moves the Capital Back to the old City of Chang'an, where he sets up a Competing Government. In the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Crusader Castles of Montréal and Kerak are both Captured by the Egyptians. 1184 20th May In the Kingdom of Denmark, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick “Barbarossa” Demands that King Cnut IV of Denmark Recognise him as his Feudal Overlord. Cnut IV Refuses, however, and soon after, Pomerania Invades Denmark. The Invasion is Defeated, however. 1189 6th July In the Kingdom of France, King Henry II of England Passes away at Château de Chinon in the Town of Chinon, Touraine Province, from a Bleeding Ulcer at the Age of 56. He will be Remembered by Future Historians as a Driving Force in the Creation of a Genuinely English Monarchy, while others will Argue that he was a “Legislator King,” whose Legal Reforms during his long Reign Laid the Groundwork for English Common Law, while his Intervention in Brittany-Maine, , and Scotland Dramatically Shaped the Development of those Countries’ Societies and Government Systems. His Disputes with French King Charles IV [which would, Eventually, Result in the Outbreak of the Twenty Years' War] will Attract Positive Patriotic Comment while his Role in the Martyrdom of Archbishop Thomas Becket will be Considered Praiseworthy by Lutherans, will Attract Popular Criticism from Catholics and Anglicans, who will also Criticise his Role as a Parent and as a bad Husband.
