PLEASE NOTE: I declare myself as an atheist, I'm not a person of religion, but of history. I have great interest, however, in this topic and am fascinated by both Saladin's and Baldwin's prowess as military leaders.
Some battles are won harder than others. In this video, revel into the details of the intriguing battle of Montgisard where two brilliant adversaries, Baldwin Iv of Jerusalem and Saladin have clashed their swords.
