A History of the Crusades
A series of eight programmes presented by Malcolm Billings 5: Jerusalem fell to Saladin in 1187. The call for a new crusade went out almost at once and the first to respond was the German Emperor - followed by the King of France and Richard the Lionheart. After two years campaigning, Richard eventually came home, a disappointed man. Subsequent crusades failed to regain
Jerusalem for any length of time, although the crusaders did maintain a hold on the Holy
Land, with the port of Acre as their capital. But how long could it last?
