King Richard I (the Lion Heart) was king of England during the Third Crusade, however he left England to be governed by his brother Prince John (later King John) while he was away in the Holy Land.
Well, really there isn't a particular reason, if indeed this is a colloquial reference for the Third Crusade that I'm not aware of then it is probably, as a previous person answered,"Because the kind of England Richard the Lion Heart (Richard the III) lead his army himself during the holy crusades."However, I think you may be getting confused; I would reference the Second Crusade as the Kings' Crusade because this was the first time that royalty had been on crusade - partially due to the king of France - Philip I - having been excommunicated shortly before the events of the First Crusade.Hope that helps!

Richard the Lion-heart, Frederick Barbarossa, Philip II, and King Guy de Lusignan (who had broken his promise to never interfere in Muslim lands
Depends, but I would say Saladin, who was a Syrian ruler that fought Richard the Lion Heart.
Probably Richard the Lion heart.
In the third crusade Richard the lion heart was sent by the pope to win back Jerusalem from Saladin, the Muslim leader.
Saladin felt quite neutrally about the oposing side during the Crusades. Some people found it odd, but Saladin would send baskets of fruit and water over to Richard the Lion-Heart during their war. Saladin even gave King Richard some ice when he had a migrane from the intense heat of the Holy Land. Saladin wasn't as reckless and violent as King Richard the Lion-Heart, he was very peacful and as seen in the end of the 4th Crusade, Saladin and King Richard decided to commend to a treaty.
The legend has it that the outlaw, Robin Hood, was a Saxon Earl. during the reign of King Richard the Lion-heart. Richard spent most of his reign abroad on crusades in Palestine, leaving his brother Prince John in charge of Britain. On Richards death, John became King.
Richard I was one of the kings leading the Third Crusade, which was from 1189 to 1192. He left for the crusade rather late, in the summer of 1190. On the way to the Holy Land, his fleet had problems, dispersing it and wrecking some of the ships on Cyprus. The king of Cyprus took the treasure in the treasure ship and imprisoned Richards sister and intended wife. Richard answered this by conquering Cyprus, freeing the hostages, and making himself king. He then landed in the Holy Land, fought in the crusades themselves, realized that he would not be able to hold Jerusalem, even if he could conquer it, and retreated. He was captured by the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire on his way home and was held until his mother paid ransom, which she raised in her own duchy of Aquitaine. There is a link to an article on Richard below.
He abandoned his father and tried to take his brothers (Richard 2 the lion heart) kingdom by force, while he was away on crusades.
Catholic, since all Christians in England at the time were Catholic Christians. He went on the Crusades, too, which definitely means that he was a Catholic Christian.
Jerusalem is in the heart of the modern State of Israel and the Palestinian Territories. It was important during the Crusades due to the religious significance that the city of Jerusalem has in Christianity, especially as concerns the events of the crucifixion.
the Muslims and the christians relationship changed after Richard the lion heart and saladin got along with each other in their life. afetr this the christains and the Muslims were going along with each other from then.
Richard the Lionheart was born in Oxford, England, on September 8, 1157. He was the third son of King Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine. His birthplace, a castle in Oxford, played a significant role in his early life before he became a prominent figure in the Crusades and English history.
