Cool items, I'll have to remember these when I play the game. (I think the post man is holding out on me)
What actually happened was that when the Crusaders marched, they brought pieces of the True Cross with them. When the battle began to go against the Crusaders it was placed in Guy de Lusignon's tent as a kind of last-ditch rallying point. As we all know, though, the Crusader army was utterly destroyed and THEN Saladin recovered the Cross.


To God's Grace: -shrug- If he is, then my bad I guess - medieval history isn't my forte. Point of the story still stands though.
