In this final episode, Simon Sebag Montefiore discovers surprises in Istanbul as it rose to become the imperial capital and Islam's most powerful city. Visiting the great mosques and palaces built by the Ottoman emperors, he tells the stories behind them - of royal concubines, murderous bodyguards and sultans, both the powerful and the depraved. He shows how the Christians, Muslims and Jews of the city once co-existed before the waves of nationalist rebellions brought the Ottoman empire to its knees. In the 20th century the ancient capital was once more transformed by the new secular vision of Ataturk. Part 3 of 3.
In 1178 Christians and Muslims were on the brink of total war. The blood-drenched conquest of Jerusalem by the First Crusaders had enraged Islam, and their Kurdish warlord Saladin.

The finest castle of its age, Baldwin's aim was to create an impregnable fortress harnessing cutting edge military technology, but his dream of security was shattered by Saladin's ferocious attack, leaving his fortunes in tatters and his kingdom on the brink of annihilation. Timewatch brings together leading scholars, archaeologists and anthropologists to piece together the story behind this bloody 12th Century battle.
