During the Second Crusade (1147-1149), Jerusalem was not captured; in fact, it was already under Christian control, having been taken during the First Crusade in 1099. The Second Crusade aimed to respond to the fall of the County of Edessa in 1144 to Muslim forces. The crusaders, led by figures such as King Louis VII of France and Emperor Conrad III of Germany, faced significant challenges, and their campaign ultimately ended in failure, leading to no significant gains in the Holy Land.
The leader of the Muslims during the Second Crusade was Salah ad-Din, commonly known as Saladin. He played a crucial role in recapturing Jerusalem from the Crusaders in 1187, which was after the Second Crusade but is often associated with the broader conflicts during the Crusader period. Saladin is renowned for his military acumen and his chivalrous conduct towards both his enemies and his own troops. His leadership helped solidify Muslim resistance against the Crusader states.

The Muslims recaptured Jerusalem during the Third Crusade, which took place from 1189 to 1192. The city had fallen to the Crusaders in 1099 during the First Crusade. The key figure in the recapture was the Muslim leader Saladin, who successfully took back the city in 1187, prompting the Third Crusade led by figures such as Richard the Lionheart. Despite this, the Crusaders were unable to reclaim Jerusalem during their campaign.

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.
One significant difference between the First Crusade and the Second Crusade is the outcomes. The First Crusade resulted in the capture of Jerusalem by the Christian forces, while the Second Crusade did not achieve its primary objective of recapturing Edessa. Additionally, the First Crusade was more successful and united in its goals, while the Second Crusade faced more challenges and internal conflicts among the Christian leaders.
The main difference between the First Crusade and the Second Crusade is that the Christian forces successfully captured Jerusalem and surrounding lands in the First Crusade and experienced heavy losses in the Second Crusade. Both crusades were formed to reconquer Muslim lands that had been previously Christian and/or Jewish.
JERUSALEM qualifies as a city Christians won during the Fisrt Crusade but later lost to Saladin (in the Second Crusade).
The goal of the Second Crusade was to recapture the city of Edessa in the Holy Land, which had been lost to Muslim forces. It was also intended to reinforce the Kingdom of Jerusalem and secure other Christian territories in the region.
