Things could have been a little nicer if there were a few less dick sultans, moron popes, and ambitious assholes.
I wonder if that dude in the Crusader paining is supposed to be Raynald of Chtillon or something. Yeah, that’s the spirit.
I doubt that the painter would be that stupid, if he even knows who Raynald was.
For those who don’t know, Raynald de Chtillon was a brutal a greedy Christian nobleman, who in later years was Lord of Kerak, a Crusader castle in what is today Jordan. His brutal raids on Muslim caravans enraged Salah-al-Din (sometimes called Saladin) and his capture of al-Din’s sister prompted the Muslim ruler to launch the campaign that smashed the Kingdom of Jerusalem at the battle of Hattin.
PLL, would you kindly finish the story for me?
