Answer: the Muslim general who ruled Jerusalem during the Third Crusade

Explanation: Saladin was the sultan of Egypt and Syria, born 1137 in Tikrit, Iraq, died 1193 in Damascus Syria. His name was derived from Salah-al-Din, meaning "Mighty Defender, Righteousness of Faith". As a Muslim general, he led the army during the Third Crusade, wishing to re-occupy Jerusalem from the hands of the Crusaders, although, for centuries, Jerusalem often went from the power of the Crusaders to the power of the Muslims and vice versa. He succeeded in restoring Jerusalem to the power of the Muslims, but he also allowed all the crusaders who surrendered to peacefully leave the Holy Land without revenge.
