Best Answer

Richard-I and Saladin entered a failed negotiation for the return of the True Cross to the Crusaders in exchange for the lives of 3,000 Muslim prisoners. Saladin wanted to stall and not hand over a relic which would only embolden Richard and his troops in their attack on Jerusalem.

They would later enter a secret negotiation (also failed) involving marrying off Richard's sister to Saladin's brother Alahdeel (sp?). Which failed due to the siblings problems with the faith of their prospective political betroved.

The one successful negotiation involved ending the conflict after Saladin's failed counterattack at the port of Jaffe. With both armies exhausted, they would end the wars of the third crusade and Richard would keep the conquered cities of Acre and Jaffe while Saladin would keep everything else in his empire.

What are some bad things about Saladin?

Most of the "bad things" about Saladin reflect on the fact that, to his enemies, he was not a Christian and was a better person and leader than the Christian rulers he was fighting. It should be remembered that Saladin did not kill the innocent Christian inhabitants of cities he captured, The Crusaders however killed all Muslims, leaving the streets knee deep in bloodHe was a self made man, not a hereditary rulerHe united the Muslims of SyriaHe defeated the Christians at a great battle near the lake of Galilee and conquered the Christian cities of Syria and Jerusalem.He essential defeated the three greatest rulers of Europe - King Philip Augustus of France, King Richard I of England, and the German emperor, Frederick Barbarossa in the second crusade.During the Third Crusade when King Richard the Lionheart was sick with a fever, Saladin supplied him with delicacies, sent him a gift of the choicest fruits of the land.When Richard's horse had been killed in battle, Saladin sent a fine Arabian steed as a present for his rival.He forced Richard to sign a truce when Richard could not regain JerusalemThe terms of Saladin's truce were honorable and generous. As an example Christians were permitted to visit Jerusalem without paying tribute, that they should have free access to the holy places, and remain in undisturbed possession of the coast from Jaffa to Tyre.

What are facts about the Muslim leader Saladin?

The great and scholarly Sultan of Egypt and Syria!Saladin, pronounced Salah al-Din in Arabic, was a Kurd born in Tikrit, Iraq in 1137. In 1174 he became Sultan of both Egypt and Syria after the death of Nur ad-Din, who was once Saladin's political rival and once-mentor.During the time he spent gaining power in Egypt and Syria, Saladin tried to avoid open conflict with the Crusaders, who the Muslims referred to collectively as Franks. But after Nur ad-Din's death, Saladin know had a large enough army to pursue his goal of recapturing the Holy Land.Following a year long truce with the Crusaders, on July 4, 1178 Saladin defeated the Crusaders at the Battle of Hattin. During this battle Saladin captured the King of Jerusalem Guy de Lusignan. Next he marched on the city itself but found it defended by a knight, Balian of Ibelin. Balian and only a handful of other knights successfully defended the city from Saladin's attack until an agreement was made between the two, Balian would surrender the city to Saladin, as long as Saladin allowed the Christians to leave safely with the payment of a ransom.The fall of Jerusalem led to the calling of the Third Crusade, and soon Saladin's famous rival Richard I of England was on his way to the Holy Land along with the King of France and the Hly Roman Emperor. The armies of Richard and Saladin soon fought several times and the two leaders had a great respect for each other. Before Richard surrounded the city, Saladin burnt all the crops in the fields outside of the city walls so Richard and his army would have no food. Eventually Richard realized that even if he did capture Jerusalem, he would not be able to defend it against Saladin, so in 1192 the two kings agreed to a truce. Saladin would remian in control of Jerusalem, so long as he allowed safe passage to and from the city for Christian pilgrims.The following year, in the city of Damascas in Syria, Saladin passed away on March 4. When his advisors opened his treasury there was not enough money to even bury the great Sultan, he had long since given nearly everything away to charity.


Did Richard the lionheart find the holy crusaders?

Richard the Lionheart WAS a crusader. He traveled to the Holy Land after the fall of Jerusalem to Muslim forces commanded by Saladin, who retook the city after the death of King Baldwin II ( the leper King). Although he fought and led the crusade there for several years there to retake the city, the best he could achieve was a truce between Christians and Muslims. The movie "Kingdom of Heaven" with Orlando Bloom is based in part on the battle for Jerusalem in which Saladin's forces retook the city from Christian crusaders after Baldwin's death.
