The DECEPTION at Jaffa | May 1102 | A GoodKnight Story for Sleep

Описание: In May 1102, the Kingdom of Jerusalem faced one of the most devastating reversals of the early Crusader era. In this immersive GoodKnight Story for sleep, you will ride with King Baldwin I as two hundred mounted knights race out from Jaffa toward Ramla, expecting a raid and instead colliding with the disciplined, professional war machine of the Fatimid Caliphate. Reconnaissance fails. Veteran warnings are brushed aside. The plain becomes a killing ground, and the flower of Frankish chivalry is shattered in heat, dust, and arrowstorm.

This episode follows the catastrophic Second Battle of Ramla and the desperate chain of events that follows. The surviving knights retreat to the tower at Ramla, where thirst, smoke, and siege pressure tighten like a noose. Baldwin escapes into the night on his horse Gazelle, relying on speed, luck, and the sacrifice of a few brave men. The Fatimids then march on Jaffa and attempt psychological warfare, parading a mutilated body they claim is the King to break the city’s will. Hope collapses. People flee to the harbor. And then, at the edge of the sea, a ship appears and the impossible happens.

You will hear how Baldwin reaches Arsuf and returns with the help of Godric of Finchale, an English seafarer whose skills and nerve help slip past a blockade. You will witness the turnaround at Jaffa, the arrival of fresh pilgrims from Europe, and the sudden counterattack that breaks the siege and saves the kingdom from collapse. This is a story about pride and caution, discipline and deception, and how a realm can almost die and still find its way back to breath.

Settle in for calm, cinematic medieval storytelling designed for deep focus, relaxation, or peaceful sleep.
