Lionhearts: Saladin, King Richard I, and the Third Crusade

Lionhearts: Saladin, King Richard I, and the Third Crusade

The time was the twelfth century; the barbarian horde was the armies of the First Crusade; the great warrior was Richard the Lionhearted; and the leader was Saladin. This is more than the other side of a familiar Western story, the Crusades. It is the tale of an extraordinary man, remarkable for his generous and chivalrous ways, a warrior who longed for peace.
