Naration sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom, too much echo!
Indonesia subtitle please..
This guy is not accurate the never ran or backed down from such a small force! Second Richard lost a few of those battles and spared Richard a few times during there battles. Also nursed him back to health when Richard came close to death!!
I prefer using all legendary sculpture to Richard I than to Saladin
Wow hearing of the lion heart king does inspire me. I could imagine fighting along side him against impossible odds. To see your leader bleed with you. My god there is no greater bond . It’s hard to imagine anybody stopping such a motivated force.
I am Muslim Both are good leader love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
God Was with them.
I believe that there are two reasons the Muslim army didn't attack King Richard's army. 1 they knew the Christian army would fight to the death beside their King and losses would be great for them even if they won. 2 they were mad at Saladin for not letting them have the spoils of Jaffa. I do not think that Saladin was strategically wrong for upholding his promise to the people of Jaffa, as it sets a precident of keeping his word. Cities are more likely to surrender quickly if they know they will be spared and if word gets out that Saladin keeps his promises in that regard his sieges of other castles and cities will be easier. I think that in this instance it is a lack of discipline and unit cohesion for a majority of Saladin's army that gave him a disadvantage, excluding the Mameluke's. It was King Richard's boldness that pressed the evident advantage. Great video!
SALADIN!
Feel the weight of this name.
The reverb on this microphone is fn fantastic
YOU SOUND LIKE A GOOOODDD
Richard accomplishing more goals is an I interesting way to look at it. I've always seen it as Salahdin won, but I guess that's overly simplistic.
Assassin's Creed brought me here.
