A video exploring an alternate history timeline, in which the Crusades are successful. In particular, the Third Crusade will be a success, meaning Saladin will be defeated at the hands of Frederick Barbarossa, Richard the Lionheart, and Philip II Augustus. Long-term consequences in the Middle-East, revolving around Christian control, are discussed. The future of the Byzantines, including the question of a 4th Crusade, are also discussed.

Book I read as the cornerstone of my research (great and highly recommended):
Holy Warriors by Jonathan Philips
