Saladin's Conquest of Jerusalem in 1187

8 min•30 april 2026

In 1187, Saladin's Ayyubid army captured Jerusalem from the Crusaders after the decisive Battle of Hattin. This episode explores the siege, Saladin's surprisingly merciful terms compared to the 1099 massacre, and the diplomatic negotiations with Balian of Ibelin. We discuss the significance of the capture of the True Cross, the fate of the Crusader nobles, and how Saladin restored Islamic control while allowing Christian pilgrimage. The episode also touches on the immediate aftermath, including the Third Crusade and Richard the Lionheart's negotiations. How did Saladin's conquest reshape Jerusalem's religious and political landscape? And what was the legacy of his chivalry?
