                            1. the future path for the crusade was set-taking egypt and using it as a means of taking jerusalem/going by sea

                              2. Saladin led a unified Muslim effort. He was an exceptionally able military and political leader as well. He refused to engage the crusaders in open battle again using a scorched earth policy which wore down the crusaders through a process of attrition.
                              3. It ended with a truce in which Saladin kept Jerusalem but Christians were allowed to visit Jerusalem and its holy places unharmed and without having to pay a tribute
