How did saladin and King Richard feel about each other?
King Richard knew they were very alike. He respected that
Saladin was an honorable man, doing what he can to fight for his
religion.
This was returned by Saladin, who actually gave fresh water and
fruit to Richard when he fell ill during the third crusade.
Saladin was portrayed as a great and honorable man in many
European illuminated manuscripts, and the population of Europe
respected him.
Richard the Lionheart was respected by the Muslim
population.
It makes you wonder, why is there so much hate between us
today?
