Salah ah-din or sometimes spelled Saladin.
Saladin
The Second Crusade took place from 1147-1149. It began after Muslim Turks recaptured one of the Crusader states. This crusade ended in defeat for the Crusaders largely because the French and German armies failed to work together.Until the late 1100s, other Crusader states remained under European control. Muslim armies failed to retake them because Muslims in Palestine and Egypt did not work together. By 1187, Saladin, a skilled military and political Muslim leader, had united Egypt, Syria Palestine, and parts of Southwest Asia in a single state.

In the third crusade Richard the lion heart was sent by the pope to win back Jerusalem from Saladin, the Muslim leader.
Saladin's rise to power was primarily driven by his military prowess, political acumen, and the disunity among the Muslim states during the Crusades. He initially served under the Zengid dynasty and gained prominence through his victories against the Crusaders, particularly the capture of Jerusalem in 1187. His ability to unify various Muslim factions under a common goal against the Crusaders further solidified his authority, allowing him to establish the Ayyubid dynasty. Saladin's reputation as a chivalrous leader also contributed to his widespread support and recognition across the Islamic world.
He recaptured Jerusalem from the Crusaders.
