The Third Crusade: A Concise Overview for Students

Real Crusades History #57. And don't forget the Real Crusades History website!

The Third Crusade is one of the great triumphs in the history of the Crusades. This video provides a good overview for Richard the Lionheart's successful campaign against Saladin, in which he reconquered much of what Saladin had taken from the Crusaders in the wake of the Battle of Hattin. Examine the Siege of Acre, the Battle of Arsuf, and the Battle of Jaffa. This video provides a broad overview of the Third Crusade, and is well suited for students who wish to refresh or study the events. It would also make an excellent classroom presentation.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
