In 1177 King Baldwin IV lead a small force of 500 knights and about 7000-10000 soldiers in battle near Montgisard against Saladin... Despite being hugely outnumbered (Saladin had about 30000 soldiers army...) Baldwin IV won the day...
Saladin was caught off guard and his cavalry was proven useless (since they hadnt rest from their march from Egypt...)
Baldwin IV lead a direct attack to Saladin's centre lines and muslims were routed with heavy losses...
Saladin lost about 27000 men and he barely escaped death by riding a camel...
WI he was killed in battle then? How is his death alters History and the future of the Crusader Kingdoms?
