Although Saladin and King Richard 1 were opponents in the 3rd Crusades, they respected each other and had an interesting, unusual friendship. For example, Saladin gave King Richard I fruits and snow to cool his drinks when he was sick. Saladin also gave King Richard I two fresh horses when his horse fell during battle. King Richard 1 even suggested his sister to marry Saladin's brother.

Why is the crusade 3 called the kings crusade?

The first crusade was led by princes from France, though it initially included Frederick Barbarossa, King of Prussia, his army returned home following his death en route to Palestine. The french nobles successfully conquered the Levant and established the Kingdom of Jerusalem composed of four principalities. The second crusade was intended to defend the now established Kingdom of Jerusalem from the Muslim army of Saladin, a reaction to the Christian invasion and ensuing abuses. Neither Saladin, nor the Christian defenders of Jerusalem were 'Kings' of any Kingdom, as the leper-king who had ruled the Christian kingdom of Jerusalem had recently died. The Third Crusade, however, was fought between Saladin, now sultan (king) of Egypt and Syria on the one hand, and Richard I 'the Lionheart' of England.

How did saladin and King Richard feel about each other?

King Richard knew they were very alike. He respected that Saladin was an honorable man, doing what he can to fight for his religion. This was returned by Saladin, who actually gave fresh water and fruit to Richard when he fell ill during the third crusade. Saladin was portrayed as a great and honorable man in many European illuminated manuscripts, and the population of Europe respected him. Richard the Lionheart was respected by the Muslim population. It makes you wonder, why is there so much hate between us today?

Which is the most important crusade?

Well they all were important within their own right. The First three were the most famous though. The First Crusade ended with European crusaders retaking Jerusalem. In the Second, Saladin took Jerusalem from the Crusader king, Guy of Lusignan. The Third, and probably the most famous, would be the war between Saladin and Richard the Lionheart of England which ended with a stalemate. Many more came after, but the Third was considered the last major push against the Crusader cause.


Is the US continuing Richard the Lionharts third crusade?

The US wishes to protect Israel, protect itself and secure oil supplies. The third crusade sought to recapture Jerusalem and maintain it as a Christian state. Both enterprises were/are opposed by Muslim forces, but they did not/have not similar objectives. Saladin's ambitions were also opposed by significant Muslim forces, the Fatimids in Egypt and by his mentor Nur Din. Neither Saladin (a Kurd) nor Nur Din (a Turkoman) were Arabs. Saladin certainly respected even admired Richard, there is no parallel situation today. In short, although there are similarities I think that we should be careful in drawing parallels between the present situation and that at the time of the crusades.
