Saladin, Conqueror of Jerusalem Episode 40 Trailer
After the death of his uncle Emir Shirkuh el-Mansur, Saladin was appointed to the position of vizier in Egypt upon the presentation of Sultan Nureddin. As soon as he ascends to the throne, he establishes the Council of Atrocities to understand the situation of Egypt and to establish justice. In this process, people’s search for justice and past injustices come to light one by one. While Şemse prepares to confront Mila, whom she holds responsible for Gülçehre’s death, the decisions made regarding Mila herald a new tension.
Sultan Nureddin’s eyes were turned to Kerak, a strategic point. While Countess Mila is asked to be brought to Damascus by Nureddin’s order, the exposure punishment Mila suffered in the past reopens a deep wound. However, the anger he feels towards Saladin, who saved him from that difficult situation, is replaced by more complex feelings. Meanwhile, King Amalrik of Jerusalem realizes that Sultan Nureddin’s influence extends to his own lands with the wheat he finds in his palace and is determined to make a strong move in response.
On the other hand, there is a rising struggle between Balian, who won the love of the people in the Ibelin region, and Chatillon, who received the support of King Amalrik. Saladin, on the other hand, takes a bold step to transform the administration in Egypt in favor of the people and demands to use the Caliph’s personal wealth for the public benefit. While this decision pits Selahaddin against the elite team, Sultan Nureddin’s dissatisfaction with Kerak and Ibelin further increases the tension between him and Selahaddin. Now it is a matter of curiosity whether Saladin’s promise to go to Damascus with Chatillon’s head to calm Sultan Nureddin’s anger and impose his will will come true.
