There were lots of Crusades but one of the most famous was the THIRD CRUSADE. This was led by King Richard the 1 st of England from 1189. He was known by his people as Richard the Lion heart for his bravery. In 1187 the Muslims took control of the Holy land under a new leader called Saladin the Magnificent. He stopped Christians going into Jerusalem on Pilgrimages. The Pope told the Christians of Europe to go on the Crusades to fight and take back the Holy Land from the Muslims (sometimes called Turks or Saracens. ) The 3 rd Crusade went on until 1192 when Saladin agreed to let Christian pilgrims enter Jerusalem.
