- 13There was another political issue between Philip and Richard concerning the Holy Land. What was this?The succession crisis in Jerusalem. Richard supported Guy of Lusignan as king of Jerusalem (because he was Richard's feudatory and Guy's wife, Sybil, was Richard's cousin). Philip supported Conrad of Montferrat's claim to Jerusalem (they were cousins. Conrad held a garrison at Tyre)
- 14Philip decided to abandon the crusade in what year and why?He returned to France in 1191 because he was worried about his territories back in Europe.

The 25 ships went missing and 3 of them were beached at Cyprus. - 20What happened to the crews of the 3 ships? What was Richard's response?Isaac Comnenos (Cyprus' ruler) imprisoned them and so Richard decided to invade the Island.

- 27When did Richard begin his advance towards Jaffa? How did he organise his troops?August 1191.
He had his knights arranged into 3 dividions and 3 columns. On the left was infantry, and protected on the right was the baggage train. - 28Richard monitored his troops carefully on the way to Jaffa. Give two examples of the flexibility of his leadership during this time.He allowed infantry exposed to Turk attacks to alternate, giving them rest and keeping morale constant.
Also formation was always reformed when broken. - 29When was the Battle of Arsuf?7th September 1191.
- 30Run through the events of the battle. Think about the Knights Hospitaller's actions and Richard's leadership.Hospitallers in the rearguard charged too early at Saladin's army so Richard immediately launched a full-scale attack to support them. Once progress was made, he reformed his troops before Saladin's counter-attack was launched. Eventually, Saladin's troops were defeated and Richard took Jaffa.
- 31Richard began the first march to Jerusalem when?October 1191.
- 32Why and when did Richard abandon the first march? Where did he head for instead?In January 1192 Richard was advised by the local Military Orders that he would be unable to take Jerusalem from Saladin because Saladin would only retake it.
He headed for the abandoned (and demolished) city of Ascalon. - 33Why was the re fortification of Ascalon postponed in May 1192?Because there were more disputes of the Kingship of Jerusalem. Conrad was supported by local French lords which meant that, for civil war to be avoided, Richard switched his support from Guy to Conrad too. Richard gave Guy Cyprus to prevent conflict.
- 34What happened in April 1192?Conrad was assassinated and replaced with Henry of Champagne, a relation of Richard AND Philip, meaning that the crusade could now continue.
- 35Some cities were taken by the Latins but by June 1192 Richard suggested something else. What was this and why were there problems?To launch a campaign on Egypt but the French troops refused.
- 36Ultimately afters this, Richard decided to abandon the crusade as Philip had done. Why was this?He was anxious about his land back in Europe (because Philip had returned home) and he knew that he could not hold Jerusalem with such disunity among the crusaders and the government in Outremer.
- 37When did he withdraw?In July 1192.
- 38Before he left, however, what did Saladin do in July 1192? And how was this solved?He tried to take back Jaffa but failed so a truce between Richard and Saladin was made.
- 39What were the terms of the Truce of Jaffa?The Christians would keep control of territory from Tyre to Jaffa. Ascalon would remain Muslim territory, as would Jerusalem (with the exception that Christian pilgrims could visit the city).
