The Fourth Crusade (1202-1204) did not make it to Jerusalem. Instead, the crusaders diverted to Constantinople, where they ended up sacking the city in 1204. This diversion was a significant departure from the original goal of reclaiming Jerusalem and instead led to the establishment of the Latin Empire of Constantinople. The Fourth Crusade ultimately weakened the Byzantine Empire and had lasting repercussions for Christian relations in the region.

The first crusade
Saladin took Jerusalem in the Second Crusade, specifically in October of 1187. In the Third Crusade, Saladin started off in control of Jerusalem and Richard the Lionheart abandoned his marches on Jerusalem upon signing the Treaty of Jaffa. As a result, Saladin never lost control of Jerusalem during the Third Crusade and never had to retake it.
