Third Crusade - 3 Minute History

The video covers the rise of Saladin in Egypt, his expansion across the Middle East, and his decisive victory over the Crusaders at the Battle of Hattin, leading to the capture of Jerusalem. This prompted the Third Crusade, led by European monarchs like Richard the Lionheart. Despite initial successes, internal conflicts and logistical challenges hindered the Crusaders.
