The third crusade was also known as The Kings' Crusade, for the monarchs that participated directly in it:

Richard Lionheart of England

Philiip II of France

and Frederick Barbarossa, the Holy Roman Emporer

These men led armies to the holy land to recapture it from Saladin, who controlled the Egyptians and the Syrians. Frederick Barbarossa died on the way, and was replaced by Leopold V of Austria.
