Jerusalem 1187: Saladin's Siege and the Fall of Crusader Rule

8 min21 juni 2026

In 1187, Saladin's Ayyubid army besieged Jerusalem, ending nearly nine decades of Crusader rule. This episode explores the siege's military tactics, the negotiations for surrender, and Saladin's surprisingly merciful terms compared to the 1099 massacre. We delve into the roles of key figures like Balian of Ibelin and Queen Sibylla, the role of the True Cross relic, and how Saladin's conquest reshaped the city's religious landscape. Listen as Lucas and Luna discuss the Battle of Hattin's aftermath, the defense of Jerusalem with only 60 knights, and the fate of the Holy Sepulchre under Muslim rule.
