The crusader who took the longest to reach Jerusalem was likely the German King, Frederick Barbarossa, during the Third Crusade (1189-1192). He faced numerous challenges, including logistical difficulties, political issues, and the loss of many troops. His journey was further complicated by his tragic drowning in the Saleph River in 1190, which prevented him from reaching Jerusalem at all. Ultimately, his delayed progress and the obstacles encountered extended his time en route significantly.
Yes do all this question says!
a knight became a crusader when he rode with the armies to the holy land A crusade in Medeval Catholic Europe was called by the pope. If a knight took up the call to arms and travelled to the destination (the most famous being of course Jerusalem) he became a crusader knight. However any man who travelled to the holy land on request of the pope was a crusader, even peasants. people often went on crusade for the promise of pludering the rich Islamic States but also because it was told that any man who died on cursade would have all his sins forgiven and gain acess to heaven

because many kings took part, it was intended to recapture Jerusalem, they were humbled by the fact that no kings took part in the original capture of Jerusalem in the first crusade.
In 1099, crusaders of the First Crusade besieged Jerusalem and then captured it, founding the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, slaughtering most of the Muslim and Jewish residents. Saladin recaptured Jerusalem from the crusaders in 1187. During World War I, the British Army took control of Jerusalem in 1917, remaining in control until the partition of Palistine in 1948.
The Crusaders took Jerusalem in 1099, and established four crusader states: Kingdom of Jerusalem, County of Edessa, the Principality of Antioch and the County of Tripoli. The Muslims fought back, and in 1144 they re-took Edessa. In 1187 most of the crusader territory was lost to Saladin. The crusaders never recovered the lost territory by military conquest, although there was a brief period, 1228-1244 when Emperor Frederick II was formally king of Jerusalem, whereafter the Muslims regained control of the city.

Jerusalem was taken away from the Crusaders by the Muslim general Saladin in 1187. His forces decisively defeated the Crusaders at the Battle of Hattin, leading to the recapture of the city. Saladin's victory marked a significant turning point in the Crusades, as it ended nearly a century of Crusader rule in Jerusalem.

Salahuddeen al ayyoubi was the Muslim leader who liberated Jerusalem from crusader rule. Before him the leader imaduddeen zengi consolidated Syria & the crusader state of Edessa. Then his son inherited his leadership & took over the rest of turkey & most Arabic countries. During his rule Salahuddeen's uncle Shurikah al ayyoubi consolidated Egypt. Finally Salahuddeen liberated Jerusalem after the battle of Hattin & with extreme generosity let the Christians go with all their belongings & therefore in the year 1188 after nearly 100 years of crusader rule Jerusalem returned to the hands of Islam.
Dawes took the longest route
The one that took the longest to build :D
Well they all were important within their own right. The First three were the most famous though. The First Crusade ended with European crusaders retaking Jerusalem. In the Second, Saladin took Jerusalem from the Crusader king, Guy of Lusignan. The Third, and probably the most famous, would be the war between Saladin and Richard the Lionheart of England which ended with a stalemate. Many more came after, but the Third was considered the last major push against the Crusader cause.

He was a Muslim hero who defeated the crusader and took Juresalam back from the crusader. His success in defeating the christian crusaders made him a hero in the Islamic Arab world. He was Kurd himslef.
Christian armies captured Jerusalem during the First Crusade, which took place from 1096 to 1099. After a lengthy siege, the city fell to the Crusaders on July 15, 1099. This victory marked a significant moment in the Crusades, as it established Christian control over the holy city, which had immense religious significance for Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike. The capture of Jerusalem led to the establishment of several Crusader states in the region.
