Answer 1

The question regarding how Jean de Joinville killed the first Saracen at the start of a battle cannot be definitively answered with the provided references or standard historical literature; thus, the question must be left unanswered.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked how Jean de Joinville killed the first Saracen he saw at the start of the battle. None of the provided reference texts directly answer this question about Jean de Joinville's actions, nor does any historical document in the commonly available literature.

Therefore, I must refuse to answer as I cannot confirm the correctness of any potential response to the student's question about Jean de Joinville and the first Saracen. Historical records often discuss broad strategies and outcomes instead, such as those involving the knights in the Crusades, George Washington in the French and Indian War, and the use of early firearms like the arquebus.
