Jerusalem 1187: The Horns of Hattin and Saladin's Victory

In this episode of The History of Jerusalem, Lucas and Luna unpack the Battle of Hattin in 1187, the crushing defeat that ended Crusader rule over the Holy City and set the stage for Saladin's triumphant entry. They trace the tensions leading up to the clash — from the reckless raid on a Muslim caravan to the parched march across the Galilean hills — and consider the strategic brilliance and terrible cost of Saladin's victory. Along the way, they reflect on the legend of the True Cross, the fate of Reynald of Châtillon, and the negotiation that returned Jerusalem to Muslim hands. This is a story of drought, betrayal, and battlefield ingenuity, told with the warmth and nuance that defines Fexingo History.
