Saladin's Forgotten Peace: The Treaty of Ramla 1192

After three years of brutal war, Saladin and Richard the Lionheart sat down to negotiate. The Treaty of Ramla, signed in September 1192, is often overshadowed by the battles of Arsuf and Jaffa. But this agreement defined the borders of the Crusader states for the next century. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the terms: who got what, why Saladin agreed to leave Crusader ports intact, and how the treaty balanced Muslim control of Jerusalem with Christian pilgrimage rights. They discuss the key players—al-Adil, al-Qadi al-Fadil, Baha ad-Din ibn Shaddad—and the tense negotiations that nearly collapsed. Why did Saladin, victorious at Hattin, accept a compromise? And what did Richard gain that made him a legend back home? Drawing on Arabic chronicles and crusader accounts, this episode unpacks a treaty that shaped the Levant for generations. #Saladin #RichardTheLionheart #TreatyOfRamla #ThirdCrusade #Ayyubid #Crusades #Jerusalem #1192 #AlAdil #BahaAdDinIbnShaddad #AlQadiAlFadil #IbnAlAthir #Jaffa #Arsuf #FexingoHistory #MedievalHistory #MiddleEastHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
