Answer: True

Explanation:

The Third Crusade (1189-1192) was an attempt by the leaders of the then three most powerful states of Western Christianity (England, France and the Holy Roman Empire) to reconquer Jerusalem. It was able to recapturing the important cities like Acre and Jaffa, but it failed to recapture Jerusalem, which was the major aim of the Crusade. A truce was signed on Sept 2, 1192 that unharmed Christian pilgrims would be allowed to pass through Jerusalem effectively ending the Crusade.
