King Richard in the Holy Land

End of the third Crusade
Finally, King Richard and Saladin had an agreement by the terms of which Christians were allowed to visit Jerusalem without paying tribute, that they should have free access to the holy places, and remain in undisturbed possession of the coast from Jaffa to Tyre. King Richard then set sail for England, and with his departure from the Holy Land the Third Crusade came to an end.
