Battle of Montgisard

The Battle of Montgisard was a battle fought between the Second and Third Crusades. It was fought by the Crusader Army (the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Knights Templar) against the Ayyubid Dynasty in Montgisard, Israel.

Miraculously, even though the Crusader leader, King Baldwin IV, was a mere 16 years old, dying of leprosy, severely outnumbered, and going up against the Muslim leader Saladin, one of the greatest military commanders of all time, the Crusaders not only won the battle, but delivered a crushing blow to the Muslims.
