Richard the Lion Heart & Crusades

[kempie]

Richard I of England (the Lionheart, or C�ur de Leon) took part in the Third Crusade after receiving news of the fall of Jerusalem to Saladin, Sultan of Egypt and Syria, and illustrious twelfth century Kurdish Muslim general and warrior. At that time Muslims were known as Saracens.
