🚩Battle of Jaffa (1192) was the culmination of the clash of Richard and Saladin, two of the most valiant commanders of their era. The encounter finally brought to an end the Third Crusade and cemented both Richard's and Saladin's reputation in the history books.
Salahuddin is the embodiment of Sun Tzu's maxim "when you're weak, give the illusion of strength."
I wonder what would have happened had the Ayyubids stopped the priest from warning Richard that the citadel was safe and Richard thought Jaffa lost.
Sacrifice!
No Israelis hmm
muslims see a non muslim they start war against them
Saladin the salami head hahaha 😂 Richard is Salami head dad!!! Turquiada que le dieron a los mamalocos hahaha 😂
That was a terrifically great video, showcasing the military rivalry and duel, between two of the titans of the crusading era. Where in the end, the conflict ended in a draw and negotiated treaty. On the whole Richard was the winner as his struggles, reversed the run of Saladin's military victories and saw to the resurrection of a territorial kingdom of Jerusalem, based along the coastline, that would endure for another 100 years.
The holy lands should be neutral zone for the sake of preventing a war between ☪️✝️🕎, which has been happening for centuries and still now
Outstanding!!!

2 days for Ramla anniversary to fall (novmber 17)
Another great video..
13:15 remember this name.
Thanks!
releasing a video with this thumbnail is a bit provocative at these times… just saying

Richard fought so admirably, meanwhile, Frederick Barbarosa fell in a river and drowned, and his 100,000 men went home 🙄
I'm pretty sure the French contingent were delaying Richard on John's behalf
I know I'll get some flak for this, but I have never thought of Saladin as a brilliant military commander. Political, perhaps, but he rarely succeeded in battle against the Crusaders unless they were making massive mistakes. Hattin was not brilliant strategy – it was Crusader arrogance and stupidity that caused the annihilation of their army.
Saladin enjoyed numerous advantages against the Crusaders – knowledge of the area, limitless reinforcements that could walk to the area, and the simple fact that his "homeland" was under threat.
In-fighting in the Crusader ranks, as well as their desire to go home, made them a far less effective force than they could have been.
On the face of it, he should have been far more successful than he was, considering the overall situation.
And, let's not forget that Frederick died on the way to the Holy Land. I think his 200,000-strong army would have made mincemeat of any Saracen force.
Eastern rome just doing nothing. If they really wanted to secure their borders they shouldve moved in as soon as the latin kingdoms fell. Wouldve been to much for any army to do with fresh troops and a new country to do with.
What is Jerusalem worth? Nothing … everything ….
Great videos
Fate of palastine which was a region back than named by old pegan rulers 😂😂
excelente
As a muslim , I have huge respect for King Richard. A great foe made our victory over him even greater!
One of the greatest ironies is that not long after Richard left, Saladin died of natural causes. If Richard had stayed, he could have successfully taken Jerusalem. Goes to show you, the simplest decision can alter the course of world history.
It's the battle of Numbers against Couragous. Muslims (seeking world domination), for their part are still hoping to take over the world simply by increasing their population. Christian world is overall more wealthy and stable which they use well to ensure non-Christians are engaged in conflict with each other so the Christians remain prosperous.
At the end, their rivalry ended with respect and a lesson, they don't have to fight eachother for the holy land as they both intension is for the best of the Holy Land
Bro called the Vlachian Empire "Bulgaria"
Its ashamed now Palestinians christian and muslim are now being forced out by another. Great King baldwin and khalif saladin would be looking down in digist
Free plaestine 🇵🇸
Great video.
Nothing`s changed, white people trying to take land that doesnt belong to them.
Wow, you bring history to life 💯‼️
2 casualties is the biggest lie ever told in the history of warfare. It's an insult to intelligence and evidence of propaganda going far deep into history. It is legitimately amazing how such a mindless idiotic writeup made its way across centuries.
It's old news we all know of Palestine,David and Goliath,Sampson and delilah
Makes me think of the Kings Landing battle in game of Thrones (the good one with Tyrion, not the one at the end)
Now I understand why he is called Richard the Lionhearted!
Your ending words were 'The English King and the Ayyubid Sultan' – why not the Arabic Sultan or the Kurdish Sultan?
This episode is one of your best
34:40 Their legacy is slowly but surely disappearing present days!
Amazing content!
Arabians made it all the way to Spain, Italy, Byzantine, and Eastern Europe. Imagine what the world would be like if they made it further. They tried, but failed. Good for Israel still fighting the Arabian occupation for a thousand years! Good luck! 🇮🇱
It’s not Palestine. It’s Israel. The Roman made up Palestine and Israel is taking it back. 🇮🇱
