Description

Script Vidéo

He was sixteen years old, his body was rotting alive from leprosy, and he hid his decaying face behind a silver mask. But he pulled off one of the most impossible military upsets in human history.In 1177, the legendary conqueror Saladin marched toward Jerusalem with a massive, undefeated army of 26,000 men. He thought the city was completely defenseless because its king, Baldwin IV, was a dying teenager who was losing the feeling in his own hands and feet.But Baldwin refused to surrender. He rode out to meet Saladin with only 500 knights. Knowing it was a suicide mission, Baldwin climbed down from his horse, fell to his knees in the sand in front of his terrified men, and prayed for a miracle.With his hands so numb that his sword had to be physically bandaged to his grip, the Masked King ordered the charge. His tiny force of 500 knights slammed into Saladin's massive army like a thunderbolt.The shock of the relentless, fearless charge completely shattered the enemy lines. Saladin’s army was annihilated, and the legendary conqueror only survived by fleeing on a racing camel. The dying teenage king had saved his kingdom.
