While those who participated in the Second Crusade had probably planned to do so before hearing of the loss of Edessa to Zangi, the urgency of the crusade was likely reinforced by the loss. Pope Eugenius III issued a crusading bull (Quantum praedecessors) to Louis VII of France.

The Third Crusade (1189–1192), also known as the Kings' Crusade, was an attempt by European leaders to reconquer the Holy Land from Saladin (Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb). It was largely successful, but fell short of its ultimate goal—the reconquest of Jerusalemhttp://www.angus-donald.com/wp-content/uploads/saladin.jpg

The Fourth Crusade (1202–1204) was originally intended to conquer Muslim-controlled Jerusalem by means of an invasion through Egypt.http://www.mitchellteachers.org/WorldHistory/RiseofIslam/images/crusadestrans/crusadersenterconstantinopole.jpg

The Sixth Crusade was of tremendous importance to Europe. First, it successfully recaptured Jerusalem and several other settlements.
