IIghazi, Nur ad Din, Saladin or Baibars?
These four Islamic leaders achieved the most success in combating the Crusades. Ilghazi wiped out Antioch's army during the Battle of the Field of Blood. Nur ad Din outnumbered 3 to 1 crushed a Crusader force at the Battle of Harim and saved Damascus. Saladin won the decisive Battle of Hattin and retook Jerusalem. Baibars halted the 7th Crusade at the Battle of al Mansurah and later captured Antioch.
Which of these four commanders do you think was the best? Any other Islamic leader of the Crusades or Reconquista that should be included?
