The Third Crusade
- Motives
- King Phillip of France saw the
crusade as a chance to take land
from his rival (Richard the
Lionheart). He wanted to stop
Richard from gaining any success
- Frederick Barbarossa
wanted material glory
and piety
- King Richard the Lionheart who was
the feudal lord of Anjou was the
son of Melisende and grandson of
King Fulk so had to continue his
family crusading legacy.
- It was also a way to cleanse his
Reputation and sins
- He had inherited his fathers throne
(Henry II) in 1182 so had enormous
resources to fight in the crusade with
- It was also a way to cleanse his
Reputation and sins
- The gift of Remission of sins. Society in the
West was very violent and the crusade
offered a respectful outlet for this violence
thus saving souls.

crusade as a chance to take land
from his rival (Richard the
Lionheart). He wanted to stop
Richard from gaining any success

experience that Richard and Phillip didnt

- Did not achieve its
spiritual/religious aim of taking Jerusalem
which was the crusades main objective as
stated in the opening lines of Pope
Eugenius' papal bull
- Caused Spiritual damage to Christendom -
its failure made many doubt god and his
harsh decision for their sins
- Caused Spiritual damage to Christendom -

- HOWEVER
- The crusaders allowed the latin states to
survive - They gained lots of land including
Acre, Jaffa, Arsuf and Cyprus
- the future path for the
crusade was set-taking egypt
and using it as a means of
taking jerusalem/going by sea
- Latin states had a power
vacuum which was resolved
with Henry of Champagne
becoming king
- The crusaders allowed the latin states to
survive - They gained lots of land including
Acre, Jaffa, Arsuf and Cyprus
- Saladin led a unified Muslim effort. He was an
exceptionally able military and political leader
as well. He refused to engage the crusaders in
open battle again using a scorched earth policy
which wore down the crusaders through a
process of attrition.
- Bad Luck
- It ended with a truce in which Saladin kept
Jerusalem but Christians were allowed to visit
Jerusalem and its holy places unharmed and
without having to pay a tribute
