How Richard the Lionheart DESTROYED 30,000 at Arsuf | The Battle That Saved the Crusades (1191)

Описание: On September 7th, 1191, the Crusaders faced one of the most desperate moments of the Third Crusade.
After twelve days of nonstop harassment from Saladin’s army, Richard the Lionheart marched along the coast—exhausted, outnumbered, and moments from collapse.

When the Hospitaller rear guard finally broke, an unauthorized charge erupted… and Richard had seconds to decide whether to let those knights die or commit his entire army to a fight he never wanted.
What followed became one of the most unlikely Christian victories of the Middle Ages—and the moment that defined the Lionheart’s legend.

🔥 This is the full story of the Battle of Arsuf—told as a cinematic historical narrative created for modern viewers.
