Project Progress #2- 1/9/12

Today, my group was able to find a few websites with significant information about the Third Crusade and the Muslim feelings towards it.

The Third Crusade involved Richard the Lionhearted of the Franks and Saladin reaching a treaty without bloodshed between the two religious groups.  The Muslims would permit Christians to  visit Jerusalem but not rule.  Originally, the Muslims did not care about the Christians coming  to a city in their control until they started causing trouble and commotion in the Muslim world.  The crusades left no real lasting effects on the Muslims.

  1. If youre using wikipedia theres a really helpful one on Saladin himself that talks all about the Third crusade.
