      Flash Point History you are very imprecise in mapping Hungary, it encompassed the whole Carpathian Basin at that time when Frederick Barbarossa crossed through it. And he never went through Romania, which at that time didn't exist. His route was through Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Thrace.

      I'm still in confusion about something. Why was Phillip so passive in allowing himself to be suboordinated by Richard when he arrived... What made Richard so obviosly senior?
      Then after Acre was captured why did Philip leave really?
      Seems to me he could have stayed and participated, and remained a big contender for powersharing in a recaptured Crudader Kingdom...

    Amazing video - Saladin was undoubtedly a brilliant general, but since he never defeated Richard I in any battle, it truly shows what an amazing warrior king Richard truly was. Whilst Muslims like to glorify Saladin, we in the West rarely speak of Richard's accomplishments.

While the prisoner were Muslim, their death was mainly a military decision as the Crusaders could not afford to feed them rather than a attempt to destroy an entire ethno-religious groups.

    @ 29:50, I have no idea where he (James Reston) got "liberator" from, Sallah-AlDin (صلاح الدین) translates to 'that which is best'=Sallah (for) 'The faith'=AlDin

      @@FlashPointHx I'm going to spend some time studying that, regardless of the word written, if true, it is an interesting insight into Saladin's self image at the time, that he may have seen himself so ascendant in the World of Islam at the time that he saw himself as only subordinate to his god and his prophet.

    Re Genocide, this is a 21st centaury definition, Richard and Saladin were 13th centaury, with totally different warfare mechanics and rules (for want of a better phrase).
    If Saladin had kept to his word then Richard I'm sure would have taken a different approach

    So tragic that Barbarossa was lost by drowning. If he had lived and could have been united with the Austrians, English, and French etc., there would have been no problem. I had a German friend who recited a German poem to me about a German knight who was with Barbarossa through Turkey and was harassed by Turks firing arrows at him and his armor from behind the rocks. Apparently the Turk put himself off guard because the knicht was able to draw his sword and split the Turk in half from head to toe. What an age! Thank you for this video. It gives a rather complete explanation of the dynamics that were at play.

      Meh, I´d say he did ok, but I´m still sad that Liam Neeson didn´t play the role, as was the original plan. But alas, the studio wanted someone younger. Neeson would have brought much more gravitas to the character I think. Plus, wasn´t the historical Balian about the same age as Neeson was when the Last Kingdom came out?
