“Kurds, Turks, Arabs and Egyptians - they were all Muslims and his servants when he called,” Lane writes. “In spite of their differences of race, their national jealousies…he had kept them together…”

"A Knight without fear or blame who often had to teach his opponents the right way to practice chivalry".
