@MemoryMedieval Saladin was not liked by the area inhabitants…he was a Kurd and also was always being pulled in different directions by his brothers and sons….a stalemate is a stalemate…Richard couldn’t win and neither could Saladin…but Richard couldn’t hang around….it was a wash.
@MemoryMedieval@Brady_k6 Well….Philip arrived just in time at Acre before the entire Crusader camp died from starvation and disease….Richard was held up in Cyprus…Philip had no choice but to attack right after Easter…couldn’t let his cousin just cruise on in and look like the hero..
@1capplegate A better seat? You have MS…normally when one has a terrible disease like MS, one would be humble and empathetic…you cannot see the forest for the trees….you truly are lost.
