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.

Saladin conquered Jerusalem in 1187 during the Third Crusade by effectively uniting Muslim forces and employing strategic military tactics. After a series of battles, including the pivotal Battle of Hattin, Saladin's forces defeated the Crusader army, which was weakened and demoralized. Following this victory, he laid siege to Jerusalem, and the city fell after a short period, leading to the surrender of its defenders. Saladin's reputation for mercy was notable, as he allowed many inhabitants to leave the city safely.
