The Crusades were a series of religious wars with the objective of recovering the Holy Land, particularly Jerusalem, from Islamic rule. The best known of these military expeditions are those in the period between 1095, when plans for the original invasion began, with Pope Urban II rallying European allies during the Council of Clermont,[1] and lasted until 1291, with the Crusaders' loss at the Siege of Acre.[2]
Selected Crusades
First Crusade
- Main article: First Crusade
The First Crusade lasted from 1096 to 1099, culminating with the Siege of Jerusalem. The four main armies left for the front in August 1096, arriving at Jerusalem three years later.[3] Starting in August 1098, the city of Jerusalem became occupied by the Egyptian Faṭimids. On 7 June 1099, the Christian army camped outside Jerusalem and began their assaults. The city fell relatively quickly and massacres of Muslim and Jewish populations followed their entrance in the city.[4] The Crusader state of the Kingdom of Jerusalem would be established immediately after.
Third Crusade
- Main article: Third Crusade
The Third Crusade (1189 – 1192), also known as the Kings' Crusade, was an attempt to reconquer Jerusalem from Saladin. During this crusade, Christian forces, principally led by King Richard I of England, managed to reclaim Acre and engaged Saladin at Arsuf before coming to negotiate peaceful terms with the signing of the Treaty of Jaffa. Though Jerusalem remained under Saracen control, the Saracens agreed to allow unarmed Christian pilgrimages to the Holy Land.
Fourth Crusade
- Main article: Fourth Crusade
In 1202, the crusaders required transport on Venetian ships to which Doge Enrico Dandolo agreed to on the condition that the crusaders take the Dalmatian city of Zadar and then capture Constantinople. When Constantinople fell, the city was sacked by the Venetian fleet.[5]
