Regularly regarded as a fine example of chivalry, both Richard and Saldin treated each other with enormous respect during the conflict, and Saladin sent Richard fruit and other goods when he was suffering from severe [[dysentery]] during the campaign. Similarly, Richard sent Saladin fine English woolens when he heard that Saladin was suffering from flu. Nevertheless, Richard executed thousands of prisoners outside the walls of [[Acre]] during the siege, an act Saladin did not resemble by his actions throughout the campaign whatsoever.
