The '''Third Crusade''' (1189 – 1192), also known as the '''Kings' Crusade''', was an attempt by [[Europe|European]] leaders to reconquer the Holy Land from Salāh ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb, better known as "[[Salāḥ ad-Dīn|Saladin]]" on behalf of the Western world. During this crusade, Christian forces returned to [[Jerusalem]], which Saladin had recaptured after his decisive victory at Hattin.


[[Richard I of England|King Richard]], the leader of the [[Crusaders]], began his campaign by conquering [[Cyprus]] and then triumphed at the {{Wiki|Siege of Acre (1189–1191)|siege of Acre}}, after which three thousand captives were slaughtered by his knights. 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.
At the [[Battle of Arsuf]], Richard led the Crusader army against Saladin's forces. During this time, [[Robert de Sablé]], [[Grand Master]] of the [[Templars|Knights Templar]], asked Richard to unite with Saladin against the [[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 Templar Grand Master.
Altaïr told King Richard of de Sablé's ulterior motives, which de Sablé denied. King Richard decided that both men should fight, believing that the Lord would protect the one who spoke the truth. After a long battle, Altaïr defeated de Sablé, who then revealed that Altair's master, [[Rashid ad-Din Sinan|Al Mualim]], was also a Templar. Following this, Altaïr left for [[Masyaf]] to confront his mentor, and King Richard bid the Assassin a safe journey.
