'On 15th May 1174 Nur al-Din died, his body later being interred in one of the religious schools he had had build in Damascus. Even among his enemies the Franks, Nur al-Din was revered as a 'mighty persecutor of the Christian name and faith...a just and valiant prince'. He was the first Muslim leader since the advent of the crusades to unite Aleppo and Damascus. His vision and quickening sense of devotion had ushered in a new era of religious rejuvenation within the Sunni world, resuscitating the notion of jihad against Islam's enemies as an emblematic and imperative cause. And yet, at his death, the Franks remained unconquered, and the hallowed city of Jerusalem still lay in Christendom's hands.'
