How King Baldwin’s 500 Knights Destroyed Saladin’s 26,000 In One Afternoon - Battle Of Montgisard

How King Baldwin’s 500 Knights Destroyed Saladin’s 26,000 In One Afternoon - Battle Of Montgisard They called him cursed. November 25th, 1177. A sixteen-year-old leper king, strapped to his saddle because his legs no longer worked, faced Saladin's 26,000 warriors with just 500 knights. Every advisor begged him to hide behind Jerusalem's walls. His own body was screaming at him to stop. But Baldwin IV gave the order to charge. Three hours later, 20,000 of Islam's finest warriors lay dead. And a dying teenager had rewritten the rules of warfare itself. This is the Battle of Montgisard. Where faith collided with mathematics. Where impossible became reality. 👉 Subscribe to Crimson Historians 🔔 Where history bleeds into the present, and impossible victories are finally understood. 🔴    / @realcrimsonhistorians   #BaldwinIV #BattleOfMontgisard #Saladin #CrusaderHistory #MedievalWarfare #CrimsonHistorians #DarkHistory #KingdomOfJerusalem #TemplarKnights #IslamicHistory #CrusaderStates #MedievalHistory #MilitaryHistory #ImpossibleVictories #LeperKing Keywords: Baldwin IV, Battle of Montgisard, Saladin, Crusades, Kingdom of Jerusalem, leper king, Templar Knights, medieval battles, Crusader victory, 1177, Odo of St. Amand, Mamluk warriors, medieval warfare, impossible odds, military history, Crusader States, Islamic medieval history, Saladin defeat, knights templar, cavalry charge, medieval tactics, Raymond of Tripoli, siege of Jerusalem, Ayyubid dynasty, Crimson Historians, historical documentary, medieval combat, Christian victories ⚠️This documentary is for educational and historical purposes only.
