Saladin
The crusaders failed to recapture Edessa.
Saladin, the first Sultan of Egypt and Syria, captured Jerusalem from the Crusaders in 1187 during the Battle of Hattin. His forces defeated the Crusader army and subsequently laid siege to the city, which fell on October 2, 1187. This event marked a significant turning point in the Crusades, leading to the loss of Christian control over Jerusalem until the Third Crusade.
The Crusaders wanted to control the city of Jerusalem.
The Third Crusade's resulted in a failure to recapture Jerusalem. Saladin still had control, but there was a treaty made between Saladin with Richard the Lionheart for anyone to be allowed to visit the holy land of Jerusalem.It resulted in the capture of the cities of Acre and Jaffa. The crusaders however failed to recapture Jerusalem. Saladin was forced to sign a treaty which guaranteed safe passage to Jerusalem for unarmed traders and pilgrims.
1187
A General named Saladin led the Muslim Army to retake Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the Crusaders.
During the 1100s, Jerusalem was primarily under the control of the Crusaders following the First Crusade in 1099. The Crusaders established the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which became a significant Christian stronghold in the region. However, Muslim forces, particularly under the leadership of figures like Zengi and later Saladin, began to challenge Crusader control, culminating in the recapture of Jerusalem by Saladin in 1187.

Saladin's Gift refers to the return of Jerusalem to Muslim control by Saladin in 1187, after it had been held by Christian Crusaders. This event had a significant impact on the Crusades as it marked a turning point in the conflict between Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land. Saladin's victory demonstrated the strength of Muslim forces and led to a renewed sense of unity among Muslims, inspiring further resistance against the Crusaders. The recapture of Jerusalem also had political and religious implications, shaping the course of medieval history and influencing future Crusades.
Take Jerusalem! DUhhhSaladin - born 1137 - was a general who battled the crusaders and conquered Jerusalem. He is buried in a mausoleum in the Umayyad mosque in Damascus.
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.
The Third or Kings Crusade began in 1189. This was an attempt by Europeans to recapture Jerusalem from Saladin. Although some of the Holy Land was recaptured, the Third Crusade fell short of its goal and failed to recapture Jerusalem.
