Which crusades did Richard the lion-heart lead?

Answer 1

Richard I was one of the kings leading the Third Crusade, which was from 1189 to 1192. He left for the crusade rather late, in the summer of 1190. On the way to the Holy Land, his fleet had problems, dispersing it and wrecking some of the ships on Cyprus. The king of Cyprus took the treasure in the treasure ship and imprisoned Richards sister and intended wife. Richard answered this by conquering Cyprus, freeing the hostages, and making himself king. He then landed in the Holy Land, fought in the crusades themselves, realized that he would not be able to hold Jerusalem, even if he could conquer it, and retreated. He was captured by the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire on his way home and was held until his mother paid ransom, which she raised in her own duchy of Aquitaine.
