How Saladin DESTROYED The Crusaders JERUSALEM With One Genius Move - Voiced by Kevin Hart (PARODY)

In 1187, the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem faced its defining collapse. This documentary style medieval history deep dive follows Saladin (Salah ad Din), Sultan of Egypt and Syria, as he outmaneuvers the Crusaders and retakes Jerusalem in a campaign that reshaped the Middle Ages. We break down the exact turning points with key dates, from the Battle of Hattin (July 4, 1187) to the Siege of Jerusalem (beginning September 20, 1187) and the peaceful surrender on October 2, 1187, negotiated by Balian of Ibelin.

You will see how strategy, terrain, water supply, siege engines (trebuchets, mangonels), and political pressure decided the fate of the Holy Land. We also explore the aftermath, including the shockwaves across Christian Europe that sparked the Third Crusade, bringing in Richard the Lionheart, Philip II of France, and Frederick Barbarossa, and ending with the Treaty of Jaffa (1192). If you love Crusader history, Islamic history, and medieval warfare, this is the siege that changed history.
