Why did the Muslims hate Renaud de Chatillon?
The Crusades to the Holy Land, which began at the end of the eleventh century, were a Klondike for many European knights. They primarily benefited the younger sons of noble families. At that time, hereditary practice was to pass on the inheritance to their eldest sons. Younger ones received nothing. From the beginning they were condemned to poverty and had to get their wealth, name and fame from scratch.
The Crusades rectified this apparent injustice. They provided unlimited opportunities for the disadvantaged. The knights who came to Palestine at first had only swords and rusty armor. But within a few years they became rich, owners of lands and castles. A striking representative of such people, who started from nothing and achieved everything, is the French knight Renaud de Chatillon.
