1099
In 1099, the First Crusade culminated with the capture of Jerusalem by the Crusaders, marking a significant event in their campaign to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control. Prior to this, they had indeed engaged in various battles across Asia Minor, facing both local forces and the Seljuk Turks. The successful siege of Jerusalem on July 15, 1099, was a pivotal moment, as it established Christian rule over the city and solidified the Crusaders' foothold in the region. This marked the end of the main military objectives of the First Crusade, shifting focus to the governance of newly acquired territories.
