The Third Crusade: Saladin & Richard The Lionheart

The 3rd Crusade (1189–1192), also known as the Kings' Crusade, was an attempt by European leaders to reconquer the Holy Land from Saladin (Salāh ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb). It was partially successful, but fell short of its ultimate goal—the reconquest of Jerusalem.

This crusade is led by the English contingent under the command of King Richard Lionheart against Saladin (Salāh ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb). It was partially successful, but fell short of its ultimate goal—the reconquest of Jerusalem.
