Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Paragraph 1: Successes The first crusade was ledby Godfrey of Bouillon and various French lords. The first crusade was a success as the goal was to claim Jerusalem as their own and they did just that. The first crusader state was set up at Edessa. The army finally reached Jerusalem and over a mo nth after the inhabitants of Jerusalem had surrendered to the Europeans. The third crusade was led by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa of Germany, King Phillip II of France, and King Richard I of England. The third crusade was only a success because before these three men led their Christian armies, Saladin, a Turkic ruler had taken over Jerusalem from the christians and the christians weren’t allowed entrance. Although Barbarossa died on the journey and after securing Acre, King Phillip became king. if this is wrong i am very sorry.
