What happened at the First Crusade
Pope Urban II called for the crusade in 1095 at the Council of Clermont, urging knights to march east and aid the Byzantine Empire while recovering Jerusalem. Thousands of soldiers, nobles, and peasants set out on the long journey across Europe and Anatolia, enduring hunger, disease, and battle losses along the way. Leaders such as Godfrey of Bouillon and Bohemond of Taranto led the effort. Antioch fell in 1098 after a grueling siege, and Jerusalem was taken in July 1099. The crusade established several Christian states in the region and set a pattern for later expeditions to the Middle East.
