From the transcript
Salah al-Din Yusuf bin Ayyub, more conveniently known to the western world as Saladin, was born in 1137 in Iraq, then known as Mesopotamia, into a large family of Muslim military leaders.
He became the Sultan of Egypt, and through diplomacy and military victories, managed to unite vast areas of Muslim territory, including Palestine, Egypt, Syria, and Mesopotamia.
He became established as a fierce defender of Islam, an honorable soldier ded icating himself and his armies to fighting the invasion of the western crusaders or Franks, as they were then known, and their Christian indoctrination.
