 | | "Saladin, king of Egypt" from a 15th century illuminated manuscript; the "globus" in his left hand is a European symbol of kingly power. | | | Saladin first fortified the Citadel of Cairo (1176 - 1183), which had been a domed pleasure pavilion with a fine view in more peaceful times. | | | Richard once praised Saladin as a great prince, saying that he was without doubt the greatest and most powerful leader in the Islamic world. |

| | Saladin later caused the name of the Shiite Fatimid caliph to be dropped from the Friday prayer, thus deposing him. | | | Raymond of Tripoli was at first his ally, but then joined the other Crusaders, and the great battle of Hattin (near Tiberias) in 1187 found Christians matched against Muslims. | | | The Third Crusade was gathered (1189) and came to the Holy Land to try to recover the Holy City. |
