- Short-term
- The king was spurred on by the loss
of Jerusalem in Oct. 1187.
- Richard went to liberate the Holy city. Jerusalem was a site sanctified by Christ, the focal point of the
Christian faith and of huge importance to everyone in the West. As the site of both the crucifixion and the
burial place of Jesus the Holy Sepulchre was the ultimate goal for pilgrims.

- personal piety
- Like all crusaders Richard would gain the spiritual privilege
of the indulgence, an assurance of direct entry into heaven.
The journey to Jerusalem was such a difficult and dramatic
penance that it gave remission of the consequences of all
sins and the heavenly reward.

Sibylla Queen of Jerusalem.

Richard was also the feudal lord of the Lusignan
family.
- It was to defend the rights of Sibylla and her
husband that Richard embarked on his crusade.
- As Gillingham notes ‘At Richard's court the kingdom of Jerusalem was looked upon as a family inheritance
and it was along these lines that Richard negotiated with Saladin. The Third Crusade, in other words, was a
piece of family business as well as an episode in a holy war against the infidel’.
