This
is a magnificent chess set which epitomizes the struggles for
domination between Christians and Muslims. This conflict has continued
intermittently for over a thousand years, but it is the period between
1095 and 1292 which has captured our imagination because of the
exploits of the Crusader knights.
Skillfully hand decorated,
these pieces represent the Christian side led by King Richard I of
England, known as Richard the Lionheart, in combat with the Muslim
armies led by Saladin. This chess set concentrates particularly on the
Third great Crusade led by King Richard I of England, who in 1189
joined King Philip II of France in an effort to recapture the holy city
of Jerusalem. King Richard, with 8000 troops, seized Cyprus and some
cities on the Palestinian coast, but ultimately failed to dislodge the
Muslim leader, Saladin, from Jerusalem. |
