00:16This program contains some violent scenes, parental guidance is advised.
00:40How long were they for?
00:44Five hours were out there hunting. I've never seen anyone miss a deer so many times.
00:50Dear Lord, bless this journey in the name of Christ who suffered on the cross for our redemption.
00:55I pray that you will allow me to fulfill my oath to you.
00:59That I will be able to liberate Jerusalem in your name through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who is
01:04God,
01:05and lives and reigns with you in unity with the Holy Spirit.
01:09World without end.
01:13Amen.
01:17Spying on me.
01:20My last chance.
01:23They're all waiting for you.
01:35It stopped the drink in a stream, and I was thinking surely this time, please.
01:41But he still missed it.
01:43Oh, it moved. You startled it.
01:45What's so funny?
01:47Lucas's inability to hunt.
01:48I think the deer can smell it.
01:50I'll just make sure you bring my brother back alive, Lucas.
01:53Of course you may.
01:54I promise you we'll protect him.
01:57Bring yourself back too.
02:04Don't worry.
02:05How can I not?
02:11Let's go.
02:21Maybe your sister should be coming with us.
02:24She likes you, Lester, but she doesn't like you that much.
02:32Almost a thousand years ago, Richard I, king of England, set out to war.
02:41Not for power or wealth, but for God.
02:46This was a new kind of war.
02:49One that still casts its shadow today.
02:52For it would pit Crusader against Jihadi.
02:56West against East.
02:58The God of the Christians against the Muslims' Allah.
03:03These Crusades would give rise to a new kind of warrior.
03:09One prepared to risk everything for his faith.
03:13And the most famous of these was Richard the Lionheart.
03:57Richard the Lionheart's vast Christian army was on the move.
04:0312,000 men were marching down the coast of what is today Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan.
04:13They were there to fight an enemy that had struck fear into the heart of the Christian world.
04:24For the forces of Islam, or as they called them, Saracens, also claimed this land as sacred.
04:35Richard had already won a great siege at the port of Acre.
04:38Now he was advancing down the coast towards his ultimate goal, the city of Jerusalem.
04:46Each soldier had made an oath before God to free it.
04:51If they succeeded, their reward would be a place in heaven.
04:56The previous Crusade had ended in defeat and the Christians had been driven from Jerusalem.
05:02But the hopes of this, the Third Crusade, rested on the finest warrior in Christendom.
05:08Richard I of England.
05:13Richard I of England.
05:37Richard I is not known for Today.
05:38How many men?
05:38Richard I do not know.
05:39All of them.
05:41What do you mean, all of them?
05:42I mean all of them.
05:43His entire Army.
05:4420,000!
05:49what's your order
05:52we keep going
05:53we mustn't be drawn into a full battle
05:55that's what Saladin wants
05:56I want tight defensive formations or we'll be picked off by degrees
05:59pass the order
06:00wait
06:02this isn't just your decision
06:04Burgundy we don't have time
06:06this is as much my army as it is yours
06:09we'll decide
06:14Lucas, tell Master Garnier the plan
06:16in no circumstances
06:17must he be sucked into a battle
06:19go
06:34the Crusader army was an uneasy alliance
06:37drawn from across Europe
06:38it included English nobles like the Earl of Leicester
06:41French knights led by the Duke of Burgundy
06:47and at the rear of the column
06:49the Hospitallers
06:50an order of warrior monks
06:52who had been fighting in the Holy Land for 40 years
06:57their leader
06:58was Garnier Dernapolis
07:01do nothing
07:02says his majesty
07:05easier said than done
07:16Richard's plan just to keep going
07:18may seem strange
07:19but it was standard tactics for the time
07:26though he'd been involved in many sieges
07:28Richard had never fought a pitched battle
07:32it was always regarded
07:34as too risky
07:55why don't they attack
07:56aren't over here
07:57they know we're here
08:00Come on
08:01come on
08:06come on
08:20come on
08:35The Saracen army had twice as many soldiers as the Christians that day.
08:41Their plan was to soften the Crusaders up with their archers and then break the column
08:46apart with their cavalry.
08:50They could then pick off each section piece by piece.
09:17Close the gap!
09:31Hold for myself!
09:36Hold the line!
09:38Keep moving!
09:40Keep moving!
09:45The line's well done.
09:47We're being slaughtered.
09:52We keep going.
09:54That was our plan.
09:56We're changing it.
09:57You've said if we break formation, it'll be cut to pieces!
10:00It's happening anyway!
10:04Let's just sign in the battle he wants!
10:12Hey!
10:14This is what we came for!
10:16A fight for good against the devil!
10:20It's no sin to kill Saracens!
10:23So kill them all!
10:25Knight's, charge!
10:28Charge!
11:29Look at me!
11:32Look at me!
11:34Look at me!
11:47Where have you been?
11:58They're retreating.
12:01Let them go!
12:04Regroup around the standards!
12:06Let them go!
12:20Let them go!
12:24Let them go!
12:43We thank you, dear Lord Jesus Christ, for this great victory,
12:47for allowing us to take another step closer to Jerusalem.
12:52We take comfort in the knowledge that those who have died today
12:56will be forgiven their sins.
12:59And I shall live forever in your glory.
13:06Amen. Amen.
13:22You saved my life today.
13:27I know you'd do the same for me.
13:33Tomorrow Jaffa, then Jerusalem.
14:00For the Saracens, defeated Asuf looked like a disaster.
14:09It seemed nothing now stood between the Crusaders and Jerusalem.
14:16But the Saracen army was still intact, and Richard was fighting the wiliest general of his time,
14:23the aging but brilliant Kurdish warlord Saladin.
14:30His second-in-command was his brother, Prince Al-Adil.
14:36The Emirates are saying that we have lost, that we cannot defeat Richard.
14:43We have lost a battle, that is all.
14:46But the road to Jerusalem is open.
14:53Look, they are saying that you should never have fought him.
14:56Are they?
15:02They want you to consider a peace, a compromise.
15:08There is no compromise with the will of God.
15:10Richard knows that, and so do I.
15:13And there will be no peace until we have driven them from our land.
15:27But if we cannot defeat him in battle, there are other ways to defeat Richard, my brother.
15:47There are other ways to defeat him in battle, and there are other ways to defeat him in battle.
16:14Who's done this?
16:16Saladin.
16:19Saladin.
16:22He knows he can't beat us in battle, so this is how he'll fight now.
16:27Whenever we want food, he'll burn the land.
16:29Wherever we want shelter, he'll destroy it, even though it hurts his own people.
16:35Summon the council.
16:37Tell no one to drink from the well.
16:38He'll have poisoned it.
16:53Saladin's scorched earth tactics began to work like a cancer in the Crusader army, spreading dissension.
17:09Richard, as the only king among the commanders, led the Crusade in battle.
17:15But he was not in political control.
17:18Important decisions were taken by the Council of War, a body made up of all the different
17:23factions.
17:25the nobility, the many nationalities, and the warrior monks.
17:31This now descended into an argument from which the Crusade would never recover.
17:39Jerusalem is only 40 miles away.
17:43We make camp here, we bring in supplies, then we take the holy city.
17:48No!
17:50We must defeat the Saracen army first.
17:57I know you're a new commander in this war, Burgundy.
18:01But do not underestimate Saladin.
18:04He doesn't scare me like he seems to scare you, Master Garnier.
18:09Now there are four strongholds on the road.
18:11We garrison each one as we go, create a secure corridor.
18:15There won't be any strongholds.
18:18Look what he did to Jaffa.
18:21We'll be hurried every inch of the way to Jerusalem.
18:24Now everything that you say is influenced by fear, Garnier.
18:28I'm curious, why is that?
18:31Are you calling me a coward?
18:33No, I don't think you're a coward, far from it.
18:36Now the only thing you're scared about is losing your money!
18:40For men who vow to give up all their worldly goods, you seem to own a great many castles.
18:44Gentlemen, please, enough! This is not helpful.
18:49And no one's devotion is in doubt, but Garnier has a point.
18:54We should consider alternatives, Burgundy, even though I know you don't want to.
18:59May I speak with you alone?
19:03Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
19:08And unto thee a vow shall be repaid in Jerusalem.
19:13Jerusalem is that close. Why aren't you back?
19:18I want to consider all the options. If we march on Jerusalem without thinking, without secure supply lines, we could
19:24lose a lot of men.
19:26And they will have died gloriously. Look at them. The only reason any of them are here is to complete
19:32their pilgrimage.
19:34Like you and like me.
19:39Are you going to deny them their salvation?
19:44These men would follow you anywhere. Don't take their hope away from them.
19:53You're going to deny them your salvation.
19:56I pray that someone will fix you up.
19:58You pray that someone will fix you up.
20:00Rester, put it to the vote.
20:08those in favor of an immediate march and attack on jerusalem raise your hands now
20:26those against
20:36king richard you didn't vote the decision of the council is clear we march on jerusalem
21:29all this food is
21:30brought to us by sea yes i know john your majesty also knows we're about to march 40 miles inland
21:39to jerusalem through barren desert how's the food going to reach us then
21:50i'm just saying it would be tragic if we were to make the wrong decision the decision's been made
21:55it's what the men want
22:02but you're the king and as your majesty's frequently demonstrated you can change the decision yes i am
22:09okay the decision's been made and you'll obey it

30:47but despite everything with saladin and the weather through at them
30:50on the 6th of january 1192
30:52they made it to the ruined town
30:54of bait nuba
31:00Jerusalem was now within their grasp
31:07we
31:08camp here tonight
31:10tomorrow we fulfill our oath

31:32you
31:32you
31:55Tomorrow, we will destroy our enemies.
32:01Like St. George, we'll kill every infidel who stands in our way.
32:09Tomorrow, the Lord will grant our salvation.
32:23Come on, Garnier.
32:25I want to see this city.
32:41I want to see this city.
32:41I want to see this city.
32:55I want to see this city.
33:38If we take this city, your pilgrim army will go home, leaving us hospitalers to hold it, which we won't
33:46be able to do. There aren't enough of us. We'll just lose it again.
33:51When Jerusalem falls, Saladin will be finished, and his army will desert him.
33:56Wishful thinking. I've been fighting here for years, and I've...
34:00Enough, Garnier! Both of you!
34:04I've seen the city.
34:10Bring me a map.
34:20There are double walls.
34:22The inner walls are even bigger than the outer.
34:26We've won sieges before. The Saracens and the city are weak.
34:29But we can't build siege engines because Saladin has destroyed every tree. It's impregnable.
34:33Then we encircle it. We starve them out.
34:35It won't be them under siege. It'll be us.
34:37Saladin has thousands of reinforcements who will all come to his aid.
34:41We'll be surrounded and trapped against the wall between Saladin in the city and his army outside.
34:47He'll kill every one of us.
34:54We can't take the city.
35:05We have to turn back.
35:08No, you can't do this.
35:10You promised us. You promised God we'd take Jerusalem.
35:15You think I don't want that?
35:17But it can't be done not like this.
35:18We need to think. God does not want us to die needlessly.
35:21How do you know what God wants?
35:24You're betraying him and your own men!
35:27Are you determined to do this?
35:30Yes.
35:33Then you're a coward and a traitor to God.
35:38And I won't serve unto you, nor all my men.
35:45I won't serve him.
36:13The retreat from Jerusalem was a humiliation for Richard.
36:21During the next six months, he tried everything to make amends,
36:26moving down towards Egypt and attacking Saladin's supply routes.
36:33But without the French, he never had enough men to strike a decisive blow.
36:40He even tried a second march on Jerusalem in the summer,
36:43but again, he pulled out before the final assault.
36:49The Christian coalition fell into savage infighting.
36:53The Third Crusade was faltering.
36:59And then, after months of rumour, came news from home.
37:06Fighting for God, it seems, was no refuge from the ruthless world of medieval politics.
37:15What? What do you want?
37:20Your brother John is threatening your throne.
37:22I've said that before. I've been saying it for months.
37:25This time, he is being supported by the King of France.
37:33French!
38:00I've got no choice. I have to return to England.
38:04That means you must break your oath.
38:07I've got to go back. I'm their king.
38:11I promised my coronation to protect them.
38:20You also made a solemn vow to God, to liberate Jerusalem in the name of God.
38:27And that is what you must do now.
38:40I've done everything I can, but I've failed here.
38:48I've got to go home.
38:52You?
38:56There are still Christians in Jaffa.
38:59They need a priest.
39:03Pray with me one more time.
39:06I need to pray for forgiveness.
39:11There is no forgiveness if you turn away from God.
39:15You break your vow to him, and you are damned.
39:34And so, in July 1192, Richard took his remaining loyal soldiers back along the coast to the port of Acre.
39:43From there, he planned to return home to England to settle the rebellion started by his brother, John.
39:49His crusade had ended in crippling disappointment.
40:11King Richard is leaving, heading home.
40:14Is he?
40:16King Richard's economic initiative?
40:17His army is heading to Acre.
40:19The fleet is being prepared.
40:21So it's worked.
40:23The great king, Richard, has finally failed.
40:26Hereisiac.
40:27Hereisiac.
40:31We must strike at Jaffa, take back the city.
40:34But you said you would never fight them again.
40:36No, I said I would never fight Richards again.
40:40Are you sure?
40:42Look, if you lose, the emirs will no longer support you.
40:46We will win.
40:50Inshallah.
41:04With Richard apparently out of the way, Saladin made his move.
41:13Summoning troops from across his empire, he took personal charge of the assault on Jaffa.
41:23Within three days, the tiny crusader garrison was overwhelmed.
41:27The few survivors managed to pull back into the citadel, the stronghold in the centre of the town.
41:35But they were completely cut off.
41:52Jaffa's under attack.
41:54What?
41:55If the city falls, they'll all be killed.
42:02You tell the fleet we're not leaving.
42:06How many men have Saladin got?
42:08Ten thousand.
42:11Take your army by the coast.
42:12I'll go by sea.
42:18Within days, the hospitalers set off on the 60-mile march down from Acre.
42:25But Saladin intercepted them.
42:33No one knew, however, that Richard had planned a two-pronged assault on Jaffa.
42:39He and a small force of 2,000 men were approaching the city by sea.
43:00I only saw some flags.
43:03Too late.
43:06There's nothing I can do here.
43:18We need to let them know we're still alive.
43:39There are Christians still alive there, in the citadel.
43:44We'll row straight to the beach at full speed and run aground.
43:47Men, it can't be done.
43:49Today, we'll win a victory for God.
43:52Come on!
43:54Give action!
43:56Give action!
44:02Give action!
44:07Richard was outnumbered, six to one.
44:12But his amphibious assault caught the Saracens completely by surprise.
44:17The coastal side of Jaffa was unprotected.
44:20He grained
44:29Whoo!
44:34Whoo!
44:36How dare you
44:57Oh, my God.
45:11Oh, my God.
45:38Oh, my God.
45:47But regaining the citadel had been the easy part.
45:51Richard's small force now confronted the full might of Saladin's 12,000-strong army.
45:58For the first and only time, the two greatest warriors of their age came face to face.
46:12This would be the defining moment of the Third Crusade.
46:31Come on!
46:33Who wants to be the first to die?
46:36All right, you all cowards!
46:39Come out here and fight me!
46:47You want to go to heaven?
46:50I'll make it happen!
46:51Come on!
46:52Signal the attack now!
46:53Signal the attack!
46:58Come on!
47:03Attack!
47:04Attack!
47:04Attack, I say!
47:05All of you!
47:07Signal the attack now!
47:09Forward!
47:10Forward, man!
47:12Forward!
47:13Attack!
47:15Forward!
47:18Come out here and fight me!
47:21Do not be afraid.
47:22He's just a man!
47:28He's just a man!
47:29Come on!
47:30Attack!
47:32Attack!
47:35He's just a man.
47:39He's just a man.
47:51The accounts of both Christian and Muslim writers agree.
47:54Despite being vastly outnumbered, it was Richard's sheer physical presence that defeated Saladin that day.
48:03In that one moment, the legend of Richard the Lionheart was born.
