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 simply "Saladin" to 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 by winning his Siege of Acre, resulting in the death of three thousand innocent people.
The Crusaders then began to mobilize their forces to march towards Jaffa, and then on to their ultimate goal, Jerusalem. Saladin was clearly aware of this, however, so he gathered his troops before the broken citadel of Arsuf, determined to halt the Crusaders and keep Jerusalem in Muslim hands, of which it was for over seven hundred years.[1]
During the Third Crusade, at the Battle of Arsuf, Richard led the Crusader Army against Saladin's forces. During this time, Robert de Sable, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, asked Richard to unite with Saladin against the Assassins, who were behind the murders of eight men, both Crusader and Saracen. Before Robert de Sable could finish though, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, the Assassin who had directly killed the men, arrived after fighting his way across the battlefield of Arsuf, seeking Robert.
Altaïr told Richard of Robert's treachery, to which de Sable denied. King Richard, seeing no other way to resolve the claims, decided that both men should fight, saying that "the Lord" would protect the one who spoke the truth. After a long battle with many of Robert's guards, Altaïr finally finished off de Sable, who then told him that his master, Al Mualim, was also a Templar. Following this, Richard bid the Assassin a safe journey and Altaïr left for Masyaf.[2]
