The Third Crusade's resulted in a failure to recapture Jerusalem. Saladin still had control, but there was a treaty made between Saladin with Richard the Lionheart for anyone to be allowed to visit the holy land of Jerusalem.It resulted in the capture of the cities of Acre and Jaffa.

Despite this, the Crusaders were unable to reclaim Jerusalem during their campaign.
Urban II opened the First Crusade. Other Popes encouraged other Crusades, seven or eight in all.
