1ST Letter
In 1191, Richard I of England reportedly wrote these words in a letter to Saladin:
Greet him, O my letter, and tell him that both [Muslims] and Franks are reduced to the last extremity; their towns are destroyed and the resources of both sides in men and goods are reduced to nothing. Surely we have had enough of this state of things, and it is only a question of Jerusalem, the Holy Cross and [our old] possessions.…Jerusalem we are resolved not to renounce so long as we have a single man left.
2ND Letter
Saladin wrote this passage in response:

To us, Jerusalem is as precious, aye and more precious, than it is to you, in that it was the place whence our prophet made his journey by night to heaven and is destined to be the gathering place of our nation at the last day. Do not dream that we shall give it up to you or that we can be so obliging in this manner. As to the land—it belonged to us originally, and it is you who are the real aggressors.
