Who did not join the third crusade?

Answer 1

Richard I of England, later to be know As Richard the Lion Heart was one of three Kings who went on the Third crusade. The Other two were Phillip II of France and Fredeick Barborossa of Germany. The latter never made it two the holy land because he died on route after ironically drowning in a river. This was a great blow to the total crusader force because because Barborossa's army represented the greatest proportion of the total number going on the crusade. Many people did not go on the crusade, such as women, children, the old and sick because these people like on the first crusade were not invited in the Papal Bull launched in 1188 by Pope Gregory VIII in response to the fall of Jerusalm in 1187.
