Task 91
What is special?
The Crusaders’ forward movement through a hot, barren plain on their way to Tiberias was halted when the troops ran out of water.
King Guy and Raynald were taken captive, as were many of Guy’s knights, and many soldiers were sold into slavery.
Although the Franks fought with determination, Saladin’s army soundly defeated them, killing many on the field.
The next morning, they continued toward the village of Hattin, where Saladin’s army attacked them.
THE END
After the Battle of Hattin, Salah al-Din spared King Guy's life but fulfilled his threat to execute Raynald.
But in contrast to the Christian takeover of Jerusalem in 1099, in which thousands of Muslims were killed.
Salah al-Din then released the men who were held in Raymond's castle at Tiberias and took control of it.
Saladin also allowed Christian prisoners in Jerusalem to buy their freedom under the condition that they didn’t then attack Muslims.
The Crusades
Crusades were military campaigns ordered by popes that called for Christian to fight in the Middle East.
Their goals were to stop Muslim expantion and reclaim the holy city of Jerusalem and other captured areas.
Catholic followers believed that if they fought, their sins would be forgiven. Pope Urban the second ordered the First Crusade in 1095.
His main objectives were to drive the Franks out of the region, reclaim the holy city, and encourage Islam.
Intro
A new Muslim era had begun. Salah al-Din improved Egypt's economy and built many schools that attracted scholars from Europe and Asia.
Salah al-Din then founded the Ayyubid (eye- YOO-bid) dynasty, and vowed to free Jerusalem and the surrounding area from Frankish control.
As a leader, he demanded no flattery; instead, he commanded loyalty by the strength of his character and by his gentle, generous nature.
Salah al-Din could live in a former four-thousand- room palace but preferred a small, simple house, he gave away most of palace's riches.
