In 1189, Richard I has achieved the crown he has pursued for years, but his attention quickly turns to the recovery of Jerusalem. Accompanied by his loyal follower Ferdia, Richard travels through France, Italy and Sicily before reaching the long siege of Acre. The crusading army is divided by rival claimants, competing kings and personal feuds, while Saladin's forces remain close at hand. Disease, heat and battlefield losses test Richard's leadership before the campaign reaches the decisive fighting at Arsuf.
