Toussaint Louverture was one of the best generals back then. He was there when Haiti was Santo Domingo. He was a slave. He grew up in a plantation. His owners were fair and let him free. He then became a leader. He is also known as the black George Washington. They say that because George Washington was a great leader and general.

Baldwin 1 was the ruler of Jerusalem. He was one of the leaders in the first crusade. He died during it. He was called the leper king. They called him that because of the disease he had. He had a disease that made your skin fall off. It makes him weaker and he died early because he cannot move around too much. He did during the crusade. His death was very sad. He became friends with Balian. He was loved by everyone actually.

Zengi was born in 1085 AD. Zengi was the king of Aleppo.Zengi was assassinated. He died on September 14, 1146. He was assinated by a Frankish slave named Yarankash. Zengi was the type of person that wanted what he asked for immediately.

Peter Bartholomew was a soldier. He had a vision showing where the Holy Lance was. It showed it was underneath a church. He found it. When the crusaders went out to fight they felt encouraged because they had the holy lance. When they were there they claim to see an army of ghosts on white horses. At first they had no idea what it was and then they realized it was help from God. The Arabs claimed to have saw as well. Peter found the holy spear in Antioch.

The Spear of Destiny was one of the many names for the Holy Lance. The Holy Lance or what I call it the Spear of Christ was found be Peter Bartholomew. He had a dream or a vision that told him that the holy lance was under the church. He found it. When the crusaders went to fight with the holy lance they were encouraged. They said they saw an army of ghosts with white horses. They were freaked out for a second then they realized it was help from God. They won that battle!

Muhammad was born in the Arabian city of Mecca in 570 AD. He was the founder of the Islamic culture and religion. He was known by Muslims as a messenger and propet of God. The people in Mecca who did not support the religion hated Muhammad.

Raynald of Chatillon was a templar. A templar was a person who killed people of other religion. He was sent to jail. He got killed by Saladin. Saladin was given a sword and then Reynald was beheaded.

Robin Hood was against Prince John. Prince John was Richard the Lionhearted's brother. Richard the first was the king of England and when he went out to battle he left England to Prince John. It"s funny because Richard the first was so loved and they hated Prince John. Prince John became a dictator. Robin tried to stop him. What they say in disney about Robin Hood is not true. There is lots of movies and shows on Robin Hood....DON"T BELIEVE ANY OF THEM- unless it"s a documentary and real facts! Hehe... :)

Lol, Disney does make you think that. :P

Prince John was the brother of Richard the first. Richard the first was also known as Richard the Lionhearted. It"s funny because Richard was so loved so much but John was hated. England despised him. When Richard the first went to get back Jerusalem he left Prince John in charge. Prince John became a dictator. He raised taxes, stuck money in his pocket and stuff like that. Robin Hood was against him though.

Richard the first was the king of England. When the Pope started another Crusade he was the first to answer. He was to get Jeruselum back. When he went out he left his brother Prince John to take over. Prince John became a dictator. Richard was also know as Richard the Lionhearted. He went to fight Sladin but he had to little men so he gave up. They fought for three years. Saladin and Richard the first respected each other. Then Richard the first went out to a ship voyage but since it is very dangerous to go out at sea he got shiprecked and got captured. He was held for Ransom. The guy that took him told England that if they wanted their King back they need to pay millions of dollars for him. It took England years to get the money. They got it and then Richard the first became their king again! :)

Kirk Douglas was a famous american actor. We know him as Spartacus and one of the vikings. He was #17 of one of the greatest male American screen legends of all time. That must be a big honor. It"s funny that in Spartacus and the viking he hurts someone. :P

Arabic numerals were obviously founded by the Muslims. They used it and guess what we use it today! 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9......are all arabic numbers. Like I said before where would we be if the Muslims were not here??????? :o

In the movie Cleopatra it showed that Julius Caesar burnt down the library of Alexandria. Cleopatra and her educator were in greif but they were not the only ones. The same night after Cleopatra found out the library was burnt she not only yelled at Julius Caesar but seduced him. Exactly what she wanted.

So Christians did not burn the Library of Alexandria. It was the Romans and Julius Caesar.

The Holy Roman Empire is not to be confused with the Roman empire. The first emperor of that was named Charlemagne. Before he was emperor he was leader of the Franks. The Franks were a barbarian tribe. A very famous one. He was a great leader. So good they decided to make him Holy Roman Emperor. He was king of the Franks between 768-814 AD. He was the ruler after Clovis. I wonder who was more famous Clovis or him? I think he was.

The Middle Ages is as they say from Europeon history. It is a part from that time. Obviously in the middle. In Rome it was the beginning of the Fall of the Roman Empire. The Barbarians were very powerful at that time. The Romans were very weak. So it is a safe bet of who will win. But that was only the start
