Explanation: Many figures before the rise of modern nation-states do not neatly fit into our national/ethnic categories, and some people get quite... passionate about who is placed where - especially when talking about figures seen as national heroes. Saladin was a Kurd from Armenia who ruled over a Turkic Empire based in Arabic Egypt and the Levant. Try sorting that out with your local nationalists!
