Saladin Another great leader of his time, the 3rd crusade is one of my favourite pieces of history.
Another leader I have great respect for. Even for a man of war, he was known to show great respect to hid opposition also other religious groups and the poor. He was also a great commander and warrior. Another interesting character.
