Raynald of Châtillon's Red Sea Campaign, 1183

Real Crusades History #47

In 1183, Raynald of Châtillon made a daring raid on Saladin's Red Sea holdings. Furious, Saladin launched a fleet to stop him.

The podcast in question mentioned at the end of this video, in which we talk with Dr. Paul Crawford, a Crusades historian, and perhaps the world's chief expert on the career of Raynald of Châtillon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY1Zgj7Tct0

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
