Illustration from Cassell's illustrated history of England published circa 1896. Info from wiki: Soon after his appointment, Walter accompanied the king on the Third Crusade, [27] going ahead of the king directly from Marseille to the Holy Land in a group that included Baldwin of Forde, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Ranulf de Glanvill.[28] The group left Marseille in August 1190, and arrived at Acre two months later.[29] While on crusade, he was praised by his fellow crusaders, and acted as Richard's principal negotiator with Saladin for a peace treaty.[30] After the conclusion of the treaty with Saladin, Walter was in the first band of pilgrims that entered Jerusalem.[4] Saladin entertained Walter during his stay in Jerusalem, and the Englishman succeeded in extracting a promise from Saladin that a small group of Western clergy would be allowed to remain in the city to perform divine services. He (i.e.Richard) and Saladin finally came to a settlement on 2 September 1192. The terms provided for the destruction of Ascalon's fortifications, allowed Christian pilgrims and merchants access to Jerusalem, and initiated a three-year truce.
