Abstract	Despite the long scholarly tradition of seeking to reconstruct the events and personalities of the Crusades, and the relatively rich corpus of source material pertaining to the Third Crusade, the latter expedition and its sources remain ripe for reconsideration. United by the broad theme of leadership, the papers in this session examine the depiction of kingship and masculinity in the Itinerarium peregrinorum; explore what roles the expedition of Baldwin of Forde, archbishop of Canterbury, played, or was intended to play, in the crusade effort; and reassess the infamous execution of Muslim captives at Acre in August 1191.
