Page "Saladin" Paragraph 79
from
Wikipedia
The armies of Saladin engaged in combat with the army of King Richard at the Battle of Arsuf on September 7, 1191, at which Saladin's forces were defeated.
All military attempts and battles made by Richard the Lionheart to re-take Jerusalem were defeated and failed.
With such a small force, Richard could not hope to take Jerusalem even though he got near enough to see the Holy City.
However, Saladin's relationship with Richard was one of chivalrous mutual respect as well as military rivalry.
Richard proposed that his sister, Joan of England, Queen of Sicily, should marry Saladin's brother and that Jerusalem could be their wedding gift.
