Bravo to the Genoese guy for going for a "morning stroll" amidst the heat of battle.

Imagine crossing so much of land ,going through byzantine and seljuk lands only to die in a river

“Conrad, King of Jerusalem, was killed by a group called the Brotherhood of Assassins.” Ubisoft: “Hmm..”

When I’m rich. I’m giving you guys a shit load of money! I love this stuff!

Barbarossa: Im going to cross the river The River: So you have chosen death!

It's fascinating to see that even with tactical blunders, Barbarossa managed to win battles simply by having disciplined troops, while the crusader orders and their armies manage to squander major tactical advantages by lack of discipline. There couldn't be a bigger contrast to illustrate how important military discipline is.

Messenger: Your wife is in danger! Raymond: Oh no! Anyway...

Richard held the Christian banner high when others fled, and single-handedly kept the Crusader spirit alive. He was the ideal medieval king, fighting side by side with his men, something modern leaders would never do. Saladin was a great leader and commander and it's very symbolic that Saladin passed shortly after the third Crusades ended, it's like he had completed his mission. Saladin was truly the Defender of Islam. May these names never die!

This is what I need during quarantine

Camels carrying bundles of arrows, just like the parthians that fought crassus, when a tactic works, why get rid off right ?

27:42 When you're so good at making traps even your own allies fell for it

Richard vs Saladin, really an epic showdown between two really smart generals, neither one of them ready to submit and 16 years long wow simply wow.

This is one of life's little gems. Love it when a new episode drops.

This documentary made me feel the sand, the heat, the thrill and the blood.

Can we appreciate that we get this for free? You guys are nailing it!!

Seems to me that Richard was the tactician while Saladin was the strategist. Every time they met in battle Richard won but he didn't have much of a plan for using those victories and Saladin was able to bog him down in an endless stalemate just like Vietnam.

Seems like both Saladin and Richard were smart rulers and great generals. What an interesting period!

Interesting thing to think about. While Richard, Baldwin and Salah ad-Din were duking it out for supremacy in the Holy Land. A little known warlord named Temujin far in the East was organizing a confederation of nomadic tribes. I don't really think he amounted to much besides raiding a few towns in Northern China but something neat nonetheless /s.
