(1188-1192) After Saladin's army invaded the Kingdom of Jerusalem and captured the Holy City, 1187, the Third Crusade was organized. Under Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who started 1189, and Philip Augustus of France and Richard Creur de Lion of England, who left the following year, the armies finally won Saint Jean d'Acre, 1191, and Richard concluded a truce with Saladin, 1192.
