Reply to comment by bolanrox in TIL about the Battle of Jaffa, whereby the Crusaders leader King Richard I and the Muslim defender Saladin would meet in battle for the decisive time. Richard I ultimately won but both sides left with complete respect for each other. by NotAGoodDayAhead

I can sort of understand where they were coming from to be honest. You don’t let someone kill what is probably your best warrior of all time with a lucky shot and live. The propaganda power is just too much.

The method of execution was overkill though lol.
