Answer 1

When King Richard I of England and King Philip II of France met at Nonancourt in 1189, they swore an oath to undertake the Third Crusade.

Step-by-step explanation:

When King Richard I of England and King Philip II of France met at Nonancourt in 1189, they swore c) an oath to undertake the Third Crusade.

The Third Crusade was a response to the fear of Outremer being wiped out and the desire to retake Jerusalem. Richard I of England, also known as Richard the Lionheart, negotiated a treaty with Saladin that left Jerusalem under Muslim control but allowed Christian pilgrims to visit the city.

This event occurred during the period of history when England and France were closely linked and fighting for control over Normandy.
