Muslim Invaders? Lie. Christian Crusaders tried taking the holyland, not the other way around. But they were called Crusaders, since they Crusaded to the Holy Land.
Harold, King Richard III's brother, tried to take the throne (or did, i cannot remember) and Richard had to leave to stop his brother, thus, the land was left for Saladin's taking.
Information about The Crusades The Crusades: A series of Holy wars between the Europeans and the Muslims Why?: To gain control of the Holy Land. The Seljuk Turks took over the Holy Land and killed any Christian pilgrim that tried to pray in Jerusalem. The Europeans also wanted control of the trade routes. Outcomes: Many people on both sides died and the Europeans failed to gain the Holy Land. But the Turks from now on let the pilgrims pass without a problem with respect for their king. The Crusaders brought back goods (silk, rugs, jewels, food, and ideas) from the Middle East and they became popular in Europe. Merchants became richer and moved out of manors to start their own towns and cities. Peasants bought their freedom (some) and Feudalism grew much weaker.
The Crusaders fought in order to retake the land of Palestine and specifically Jerusalem, for their ideals. In so doing, they killed large numbers of Muslims, and tens of thousands of non-combatant Jews.

The crusaders who were the Peasant crusaders in 1096 and the Noble crusaders in 1097 wanted to re- capture the Holy Land which was important to them, as they were Christians. The Peasant crusaders failed, so the Nobles had to step up and take back the Holy Land.
Ostensibly, the Crusaders invaded the Middle East to recapture the Holy Land.
