Salahuddin rose to prominence as the Sultan of Egypt and Syria and became a formidable opponent to the Christian Crusaders, notably capturing Jerusalem in 1187. His chivalry, sense of honor, and magnanimity toward his enemies earned him respect even among his Christian adversaries, including Richard the Lionheart.
