The primary objective of the third crusade was to recapture Jerusalem from the Muslims. On the way to Jerusalem they encountered resistance from Salahidin's forces but managed to capture several coastal towns in the holy land. By the time the crusades reached Jerusalem, they had lost too many soldiers and realized that even if they captured Jerusalem (which was unlikely), they would not be able to defend it against a Muslim counterattack. Because of this they retreated.
