112: The Third Crusade: Part One: The Fall of Jerusalem
Episode description
Saladin and his mighty army defeated the Knights of Jerusalem and the Knights Templar at the battle of Hattin and then conquered Jerusalem. The Holy Land had fallen, and so a third crusade was called. The first two to answer the call were Richard the Lion Heart, King Phillip of France, and Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. For the first time in nearly one hundred years, a crusade was called to liberate Jerusalem.
