- Problems started immediately. In short, Barbarossa died by drowning in a river, and his german soldiers kind of were like, "Oh no, guess this's over!" and went home.
- Guess this's over!
- Philip and Richard had a rocky past and old wounds were opened up in Jerusalem so Philip returned home. So, King Richard, the Lion Hearted, of England led the Crusade alone.
