Name Robert St. | Died 1187 | |
Robert of St. Albans (died 1187) was an English templar knight who converted to Islam from Christianity in 1185 and led an army for Saladin against the Crusaders in Jerusalem which was at the time under the control of the Franks. Robert eventually married the niece of Saladin. Robert's conversion to Islam caused significant dismay among the Christians and sparked ill-will toward the Knights Templar in general.
