How did Saladin feel about the people on the other side of the Crusades?
Saladin felt quite neutrally about the oposing side during the Crusades. Some people found it odd, but Saladin would send baskets of fruit and water over to Richard the Lion-Heart during their war. Saladin even gave King Richard some ice when he had a migrane from the intense heat of the Holy Land. Saladin wasn't as reckless and violent as King Richard the Lion-Heart, he was very peacful and as seen in the end of the 4th Crusade, Saladin and King Richard decided to commend to a treaty.
What did Richard the lionheart have to do with the crusades?
In the third crusade Richard the lion heart was sent by the pope to win back Jerusalem from Saladin, the Muslim leader.
Why is the third crusade called crusade of kings?
It was called the kings crusade because at the time Richard the lion heart and saladin had a fight against the holy land, they are both kings in some sort of way.
Did one of king Richard the lion-heart's sisters get married to to Saladin?
No, Joan was offered in marriage to Salodin's brother who declined the offer. Edwin
Why was saladin respected by christians?
In 1099 Jerusalem had fallen to the First Crusaders slaughtering its Christian, Muslim and Jewish inhabitants, after promising them safety, but did not spare the lives of children, women or elderly. The Latin Kingdom formed in the following year lasted until Saladin destroyed King Guy's army at the Horns of Hettin in 1187 and shortly after recovered Jerusalem. In stark contrast to the Crusades 88 years earlier, Saladin, adhering to the teachings of Islam, did not slaughter the city's Christian inhabitants. Saladin's noble act won him the respect of his opponents and many more people throughout the world. King Richard I of England, better known as Richard the Lion heart, who led the Third Crusade in 1189 to recover the Holy City, met Saladin in a conflict that was to be celebrated in later chivalric romances. Although the Crusaders failed in their purpose, Richard the Lion heart gained Saladin's lifelong respect as a worthy opponent. Saladin's generosity and sense of honor in negotiating the peace treaty that ended the Crusade won him the lasting admiration and gratitude of the Christian world.
