'''Saladin''' or '''Salah al-Din''' ([[Arabic]]: صلاح الدين الأيوبي) was a [[Kurdish]] [[Muslim]] warrior who died March 4, 1193.  He fought against the [[Christians]] in the [[Crusades]]. He was famous for defeating the Christian forces and retaking [[Jerusalem]]. Saladin was generally a successful general, but he was defeated by [[Richard the Lion Heart]](who was the King of [[England]] at the time) at the battle of Arsuf in 1191.  He also suffered a major defeat at the Battle of Montgisard in 1177.
