Was Saladin a good leader why or why not?

Yes, Saladin was a good military leader, when fighting against the Crusaders, he besieged and captured Palestine from the Kingdom of Jerusalem, after his success at the Battle of Hattin also known as the Horns of Hattin - where he had strategically battled against the Crusaders and as a result of their victory the Muslims became the most eminent military power in the Holy Land, reconquering Jerusalem.He was also chivalrous as noted even by the Christian chroniclers. Despite him being their nemesis in terms of battle, he won the majority of their respects, including that of Richard the Lionheart, Saladin was a key example of the principles of chivalry.


Why did King Richard order the slaughter of his Muslim prisoners?

During negotiations with the Muslim commander, Saladin, Richard had agreed to terms that included the release of Muslim prisoners held in Jerusalem in return for payment of a fee. Once the first installment was paid, Richard did not honor his part of the agreement. Instead, he ordered the execution of approximately 2,700 prisoners, including women and children. They were executed outside the city walls. Saladin's soldiers could see the slaughter, which took all day, and tried to rescue them. Even as the executions were taking place, a battle was fought, but the Muslims were driven back and the prisoners died. It is interesting that Christian chroniclers of the time relate this story with great satisfaction.


What are some bad things about Saladin?

Most of the "bad things" about Saladin reflect on the fact that, to his enemies, he was not a Christian and was a better person and leader than the Christian rulers he was fighting. It should be remembered that Saladin did not kill the innocent Christian inhabitants of cities he captured, The Crusaders however killed all Muslims, leaving the streets knee deep in bloodHe was a self made man, not a hereditary rulerHe united the Muslims of SyriaHe defeated the Christians at a great battle near the lake of Galilee and conquered the Christian cities of Syria and Jerusalem.He essential defeated the three greatest rulers of Europe - King Philip Augustus of France, King Richard I of England, and the German emperor, Frederick Barbarossa in the second crusade.During the Third Crusade when King Richard the Lionheart was sick with a fever, Saladin supplied him with delicacies, sent him a gift of the choicest fruits of the land.When Richard's horse had been killed in battle, Saladin sent a fine Arabian steed as a present for his rival.He forced Richard to sign a truce when Richard could not regain JerusalemThe terms of Saladin's truce were honorable and generous. As an example Christians were permitted to visit Jerusalem without paying tribute, that they should have free access to the holy places, and remain in undisturbed possession of the coast from Jaffa to Tyre.
