16-Year-Old Leper King and His 500 Knights Crushed Saladin’s 26,000 Warriors in a Single Afternoon

They branded him doomed. November 25, 1177. A sixteen-year-old monarch ravaged by leprosy, bound to his saddle since his legs had failed, stood against Saladin’s 26,000 fighters with only 500 knights at his command. Every counselor urged him to take refuge behind Jerusalem’s defenses. His own decaying body demanded he halt. Yet Baldwin IV issued the command to advance. Three hours later, 20,000 of Islam’s most elite soldiers lay slain. A terminally ill youth had rewritten the very laws of combat. This is the Battle of Montgisard. Where belief collided with cold calculation. Where the unattainable turned into historical truth. 👉 Subscribe to Mytic Chronicles Of Old 🔔 Where history bleeds into the present, and impossible victories are finally understood. 🔴 / @MyticChroniclesOfOld Watch more Stories: The Brutal Acts Vlad the Impaler Inflicted on Ottoman Captives Horrified Even His Foes-    • The Brutal Acts Vlad the Impaler Inflicted...   What Gladiators in Ancient Rome Truly Did to Captured Women After Their Victories-    • What Gladiators in Ancient Rome Truly Did ...   The Atrocities the Mongols Inflicted on Baghdad's Ruling Dynasty Served as a Global Cautionary Tale-    • Why the Mongols Chose This Brutal Method o...   #BaldwinIV #BattleOfMontgisard #Saladin #CrusaderHistory #MedievalWarfare #DarkHistory #KingdomOfJerusalem #TemplarKnights #IslamicHistory #CrusaderStates #MedievalHistory #MilitaryHistory #ImpossibleVictories #leperking
