Crusade Chess Set

This magnificent Crusade Chess Set symbolize the struggles for domination between Christians and Muslims. The pieces represent the Christian side led by King Richard I of England known as Richard the Lion-heart, in combat with the Muslim armies led by Sultan Saladin Aubi.

This set focuses particularly on the Third Crusade led by Richard, who in 1189 joined King Philip II of France in an effort to capture the holy city of Jerusalem.

The most notable military encounter of the struggle was the siege of Acre (1189-1191). The besieged garrison, assisted from outside by Saladin, heroically held out for two years against a combined land and sea force. After Acre fell, Richard made further gains but was stubbornly resisted by Saladin. The conflict ended in stalemate: The two leaders agreeing to armistice in 1192.
