==== Jerusalem ====
The goal of the Third Crusade was to recapture Jerusalem.

Richard's army advanced slowly towards Jerusalem, securing castles along the way for a supply line.

The army reached Beit Nuba, 12 miles from Jerusalem, on January 3, 1192

but then turned back to refortify the abandoned city of Ascalon.

The decision to turn back was influenced by advice from the Templars and Hospitallers,

who believed that the army could not win and that dealing with Saladin was necessary.

Richard sought a truce with Saladin, resulting in the Christians retaining control of the coastal territory

and allowing Christian pilgrims access to Jerusalem's holy shrines.

Richard sailed from Acre on October 9, 1192, marking the end of the Third Crusade.
