Why was the third crusade a failed attempt for Richard 1st?
The primary objective of the third crusade was to recapture Jerusalem from the Muslims. On the way to Jerusalem they encountered resistance from Salahidin's forces but managed to capture several coastal towns in the holy land. By the time the crusades reached Jerusalem, they had lost too many soldiers and realized that even if they captured Jerusalem (which was unlikely), they would not be able to defend it against a Muslim counterattack. Because of this they retreated.

well then technically did but they only controlled Jerusalem for a while until saladin took it from them. then the other 8 crusades or so like the second crusade and third with the lionheart.
What did Richard the lionheart have to do with the crusades?
In the third crusade Richard the lion heart was sent by the pope to win back Jerusalem from Saladin, the Muslim leader.
How many times did Richard try to capture Jerusalem?

What wars between Muslims and Christians to take Jerusalem?
SOME of the wars called the "Crusades" involved the taking and retaking of Jerusalem. The Crusades were different wars with different characters. One, the Fourth, have nothing to do with the Muslims at all, but concerned the capture of Constantinople by the Latins from the Greeks. Another was an invasion of Egypt (Muslim, but definitely not where one would find Jerusalem). Of eight, sometimes nine, designated Crusades, only the First (where the Crusaders took Jerusalem)and Third (where the Muslims held on to it) were significant on that basis. Other so-called "Crusades" (e.g., the Albigensian Crusade) were actually purges of heretical sects from within Catholic territory. One also occasionally hears the word "crusade" used to mean a non-military collective struggle for some desirable social change, for example: "Crusade for Literacy" or "Crusade for Childhood Vaccination." The Muslim version of Crusade is "Jihad." Both terms have a) a military meaning and b) a nonmilitary one, which the professing group insists is the "real" meaning and which the opposing group prefers to ignore.

The crusaders however failed to recapture Jerusalem. Saladin was forced to sign a treaty which guaranteed safe passage to Jerusalem for unarmed traders and pilgrims.
