Q: What happened in the Third Crusade?
A: Encouraged by that success of the Second Crusade, Muslims destroyed the army of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1187 and gained control of most of its territory. The Christians responded with the Third Crusade, led by King Richard of Lionheart of England, King Philip of France, and Emperor Fredrick of Germany. Richard and Philip were bitter rivals because of a dispute over English land claims in France. In 1191, Philip returned to France to regain control of the disputed French lands.
