The Third Crusade, led by Richard the Lionheart of England, Philip II of France, and Leopold of Austria, recovered the coastline of modern Syria, Israel, and Lebanon that had been lost to Salah-al din in the previous years. In fact, Saladin had been so successful that only the metropoli of Tyre, Antioch, and Triploli remained in Christian hands. When Pope Innocent III called the Third Crusade, the first man to respond was the Emperor Frederick I. Frederick crossed into Asia Minor and captured the city of Iconium before tragically drowing in a river. He was succeeded on the crusade by Leopold of Austria. Richard and Philip arrived next at the coastal city of Acre, whose Muslim inhabitants were under siege by former King Guy de Lusigan of Jerusalem. With the soldiers of Richard, Philip, and Leopold, the crusaders retook the city. Leopold and Philip both left at that point, put off by Richard's predominant role in the endevour. Richard and Saladin began their legandary march down the coast, with Richard hugging the shoreline keeping time with his fleet. Saladin and his emires tailed them, attempting to catch Richard in battle and therefore destroy the Christians once and for all. They did finally meet at the forest of Arsuf, where Richard used his heavy cavalry to annhiliate Saladin's ranks and scatter his army. Next Richard loaded up his forces onto his navy and proceeded to Jaffa, a port city to the south. There Richard again beseiged Saladin and again defeated him taking the city. At that point it was agreed that neither king could continue to fight, and it was agreed that the Christians would be given control of the entire coastline from Tyre to Gaza, while Saladin and the Muslims retained the rest of the Holy Land, including Jerusalem.
he went on the crusade because he wanted the holy land because he was a christian. it was said that Jesus died there so he wanted it back from the Muslims.
Saladin and King Richard I fought in the Third Crusade.

Most of the crusades we think of were wars with Christians on one side and Muslims on the other, so the answer would be Christianity and Islam. There were other crusades, however, with other religious intent. The Albigensian Crusade was one of several against Christian heretics. The Hussite Crusade was against protestants (Catholic vs. Protestant). There were crusades against pagans (Christian vs. pagan), and there were crusades against Mongol hordes (Christian vs. Mongol). There was even one crusade, the Aragonese Crusade, which was really a war between the Pope and the King of Aragon over possession of land.
