I learned that Richard the Lionheart never reached Jerusalem. He almost got there, but leaders (Saladin and Richard) were so sick of fighting , they finally made a truce, and both died shortly.

What I learned wasn't helpful, I just learned information on building castles, which was irrelevant to my project.

I found out that even though Saladin conquered many lands and captured a few crusader areas, he was, in fact, quite smart and kind. He mostly wanted to attack the Crusaders, but he had made a truce with Guy of Lusignan not to hurt each other, and he was a man of his word. He finally got his chance when the foolish prince, Reynald of Chatillion, took hostage of a few harmless Muslims and broke the truce. It was made for kids my age, and was very helpful

Gave good information, and put everything in good order. I learned that Richard became friends with Saladin's brother, al-Adil, and Richard, seeking to make peace, offered al-Adil his sister's hand in marriage so they would be related, but both people politely declined.

I learned more about the Crusades through Richard's eyes, and learned more of him. After all, Richard was a main contributer in this battle.

Talked about when Richard got sick, and how the two (Saladin and Richard) made their final truce. Also in it, Saladin expresses respect for his adversary.

Gave good accounts that Saladin, after capturing Guy and his men, offered water to Guy, but then cut off Reynald of Chatillion's head for his cheekiness. Was described well.
