The Crusaders and the Egyptians
They won the first crusade.
The fourth crusade was launched by the pope. It proved to be really disastrous. The crusaders stole valuable pieces of art, burned libraries so they can pay off their debt to Venice bankers.
The Muslim defenders soundly defeated the Christian crusaders who were attempting to capture Damascus. The crusaders returned to their homelands with the remnants of their armies, and that was the end of the Second Crusade.
The 4th Crusade ultimately resulted in the sack of Constantinople in 1204 by the Crusaders, rather than achieving its intended goal of reclaiming Jerusalem from Muslim control. The Latin Crusaders established the Latin Empire in Constantinople for a brief period before it was recaptured by the Byzantine Empire in 1261.
The First Crusade could be said that it was a victory of sorts for the Crusaders.
