She went over his rise to power and his interaction with the Crusaders, especially Richard the Lionheart. It was interesting to read how they could call truces basically and sit down and eat with each other and almost be friends. The back and forth of both sides and how they both did honorable and dishonorable things from different points of view. But I actually came away from the section thinking that Saladin was clearly the better man. :) I've even been thinking of trying to find a biography on him and I'm not a biography type of person most of the time.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-65492552411883372242010-11-04T08:00:24.721-05:002010-11-04T08:00:24.721-05:00Lat, always glad to help! :) Thanks for taking t...Lat, always glad to help! :) Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-72080087339493341782010-11-03T11:14:57.543-05:002010-11-03T11:14:57.543-05:00Thank you for this post,Susanne!
