The '''Third Crusade''' (1189 – 1192) was an attempt by many of the leaders of medieval [[Christianity|Christendoms]] to reconquer [[Jerusalem]] from [[Saladin]]. During this crusade, Christian forces, principally led by King [[Richard I of England]], managed to reclaim [[Acre]] and engaged Saladin at [[Battle of Arsuf|Arsuf]] before coming to negotiate peaceful terms.

The '''Third Crusade''' (1189–1192), also known as the Kings' Crusade, was an attempt by European leaders to reconquer the Holy Land from Salāh ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb, better known as "[[Saladin]]" in the Western world. During this Crusade, the Christian forces returned to the Holy Land to reclaim [[Jerusalem]], which Saladin had recently recaptured after his decisive victory at Hattin. [[King Richard]], a Crusader leader, began his Crusade by conquering Cyprus, and then winning his siege of Acre, killing three-thousand innocent people in Acre. The Crusaders then began to mobilize their forces to march towards Jaffa and then on to Jerusalem, their goal. Saladin was clearly aware of this, so he gathered his troops before the broken citadel of Arsuf, determined to halt the Crusaders and Jerusalem would be kept in Muslim hands, for over seven hundred years.
At the [[Battle of Arsuf]], Richard led the Crusader army against Saladin's forces. During this time, the [[Templars]]' [[Grand Master of the Templar Order|Grand Master]] [[Robert de Sablé]] asked Richard to unite with Saladin against the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins|Levantine Assassins]], who were behind the [[Hunt for the Nine|murders]] of eight influential Crusaders and [[Saracens]].

Altaïr told King Richard of de Sablé's [[New World Order|ulterior motives]], which de Sablé denied.

During the Third Crusade, at the [[Battle of Arsuf]], Richard was leading the Crusader Army against Saladin's forces when [[Robert de Sable]], Grand Master of the [[Knights Templar]], asked Richard to unite with Saladin against the [[Assassins]], who are behind the murders of eight men both Crusader and Saracen. Before de Sable could finish, [[Altair]], the Assassin who directly killed the men, arrived after fighting his way across the battlefield of Arsuf, seeking Robert. Altair told Richard of Robert's treachery, which de Sable denied. King Richard, seeing no other way, decided that both men should fight, saying that "the Lord" will protect the one who speaks the truth. After a long battle, Altair finishes off Robert de Sable, who then tells him that his master, [[Al Mualim]], was also a Templar. Richard bid the Assassin a safe journey and Altair left for [[Masyaf]].

The Third Crusade (1189 – 1192) was an attempt by many of the leaders of medieval Christendoms to reconquer Jerusalem from Saladin. During this crusade, Christian forces, principally led by King Richard I of England, managed to reclaim Acre and engaged Saladin at Arsuf before coming to negotiate peaceful terms.

History[edit | edit source]

Richard I of England, the leader of the Crusaders, began his campaign by conquering Cyprus and then triumphed at the siege of Acre,[1] after which three thousand captives were slaughtered by his knights.[2] The Crusaders mobilized their forces to march south to Jaffa, and then on to their ultimate goal, Jerusalem. Saladin gathered his troops before the broken citadel of Arsuf, determined to halt the Crusaders and keep Jerusalem in Muslim hands.[3]

At the Battle of Arsuf, Richard led the Crusader army against Saladin's forces. During this time, the Templars' Grand Master Robert de Sablé asked Richard to unite with Saladin against the Levantine Assassins, who were behind the murders of eight influential Crusaders and Saracens. Before de Sablé could complete his proposition, the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad arrived after fighting his way across the battlefield of Arsuf in search of the Grand Master.[4]

Altaïr told King Richard of de Sablé's ulterior motives, which de Sablé denied. Richard decided that both men should fight, believing that God would protect the one who spoke the truth. After a long battle, Altaïr defeated de Sablé, who then revealed that Altaïr's Mentor, Al Mualim, was a Templar collaborator. With this information, Altaïr left for Masyaf to confront his Mentor, and Richard bid the Assassin a safe journey.[4]
