Why is the crusade 3 called the kings crusade?

The first crusade was led by princes from France, though it initially included Frederick Barbarossa, King of Prussia, his army returned home following his death en route to Palestine. The french nobles successfully conquered the Levant and established the Kingdom of Jerusalem composed of four principalities. The second crusade was intended to defend the now established Kingdom of Jerusalem from the Muslim army of Saladin, a reaction to the Christian invasion and ensuing abuses. Neither Saladin, nor the Christian defenders of Jerusalem were 'Kings' of any Kingdom, as the leper-king who had ruled the Christian kingdom of Jerusalem had recently died. The Third Crusade, however, was fought between Saladin, now sultan (king) of Egypt and Syria on the one hand, and Richard I 'the Lionheart' of England.


What date did the first crusade start?

This question denotes a specific 'date' as seems to have been mentioned by 'Dark wizard 3' which is a bit troublesome as more or less all of the crusading bodies set off at different times in 1096. If you would like a specific date to pin it down on I would probably prescribe the 27th of November 1095 because this is the date which Pope Urban gives his speech at Clermont - this is the beginning of the Crusade in my eyes.I would also like to refute the previous answer to this question which suggests the crusades were somehow started as a result of Muslims wanting Jerusalem - the city had been there for the better part of 400 years and as such this is complete nonsense and pseudo-history. No historian would agree with this absurd understanding of the First Crusade. For more information I advise reading the works of Jonathan Philips or if you're just looking for a light overview then Geoffrey Hindley's 'The Crusades' (which has an expanded title but google that and it will come up).Hope that helps!
