Frequently asked
When did the Battle of Hattin take place?

Saladin used brilliant psychological warfare, cutting off the Crusaders' water supply and forcing them to march through scorching desert heat. He also set fires that created choking smoke, blinding and disorienting the enemy forces while his archers picked them off.
What happened to Jerusalem after Saladin's victory?
Just three months after Hattin, Saladin recaptured Jerusalem on October 2, 1187. Unlike the Crusaders' bloody conquest 88 years earlier, Saladin allowed Christians to leave peacefully, showing the mercy that made him respected even by his enemies.
