Was reading some stuff about the Da Vinci Code on Wikepedia yesterday, and one of the links eventually brought me to this guy, the Muslim leader that recaptured Jerusalem from the Crusaders (topic of Ridley Scott's recent movie, Kingdom of Heaven). Saladin died on March 4, 1193 at Damascus, not long after Richard's departure. When they opened Saladin's treasury they found there was not enough money to pay for his funeral; he had given most of his money away in charity. ------------- The guy sounds like the 2nd greatest Muslim that ever lived (after Mohamed Ali, of course)! I saw the movie, Kingdom of Heaven, on dvd. The movie wasn't making a lot of sense to me knowing what I know about that part of ME history. So I looked up Saladin..........that's when I found out what a great man he was and that he played a much greater role than the movie gave justice.
