 The Crusaders , now under the unified command of Richard , defeated Saladin at the Battle of Arsuf , allowing for the Crusader conquest of Jaffa and much of coastal Palestine , but they were unable to recover the interior regions . Instead , Richard signed a treaty with Saladin in 1192 , restoring the Kingdom of Jerusalem to a coastal strip between Jaffa and Beirut . It was the last major war effort of Saladin 's career , as he died the next year , in 1193 .
