Crusades

i was just watchin a thing on the crusades, and there are some great parallels between the last battle of the first crusade and the battle of pellenor fields:
1. the crusaders held out in a citadel
2. Richard Lionheart came with a small force in a boat to help
3. they won against all odds

sound familiar?

Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

Shanti, shanti, shantih...
