King Richard I of England's main opponent in the Third Crusade was Saladin, the Muslim leader and Sultan of Egypt and Syria. Saladin had successfully captured Jerusalem in 1187, prompting the Crusade aimed at reclaiming the city for Christendom. The conflict between Richard and Saladin was marked by several notable battles, including the Battle of Arsuf, and while neither side achieved a decisive victory, they ultimately negotiated a truce that allowed Christians safe passage to Jerusalem.
