Why i chose this

 I chose this topic because it was very interesting to me. It talks about how Saladin wanted revenge for his sisters death. It talks about his struggle for getting back the city of Jerusalem. This war had a great impact on the history of the crusaders. One of the many reasons that King Guy was not very popular was because he attacked shephards who had helped the Christians. It amazed me how they could just destroy all of the tribes that they could and it didn't even bother them in the slightest. I found it interesting because it is just this constant battle between Christian people and the Muslim people. Neither of them really rest and they don't give up. It was one of the bloodiest battles and is also known as the Horns of Hattin. It is called that because it took place on top of two rocky peaks.
