500 against 26,000: The Leper King’s Impossible Victory at Montgisard (1177)

In November of 1177, the Kingdom of Jerusalem stood on the brink of annihilation. A sixteen-year-old king, dying of leprosy, faced the greatest Muslim army the Crusader states had ever seen—more than twenty-six thousand men under the command of Saladin himself. With only five hundred knights, Baldwin IV made a decision that defied every rule of medieval warfare: he chose to attack. What followed at the Battle of Montgisard was not just a clash of armies, but a collision of faith, psychology, leadership, and sheer audacity. Against impossible odds, the Crusaders shattered Saladin’s campaign, delayed the fall of Jerusalem by a decade, and etched the name of the “Leper King” into legend. This video tells the full cinematic story of Montgisard—the strategy, the chaos, the charge, and the moment when the wind itself seemed to choose a side. ⚔️ History doesn’t always belong to the strong. Sometimes, it belongs to the desperate. #BattleOfMontgisard #BaldwinIV #Crusades
