What were some initial success despite the Crusades late failure?
The Crusaders enjoyed a resounding series of early successes in the later years of the 11th century and the early decades of of the 12th. The First Crusade, lauched by Pope Urban II at Clermont in 1096, achieved the most of any of the Crusades. This initial movement is the one that you are probably thinking of. Crusaders from the Occitan, Normandy, Sicily, Lorraine, Blois, and Flanders succeeded in defeating the Turks in Asia Minor and capturing Niceae and Iconium. Moving south, two of the crusading nobels recovered Taursus in Cilicia. Then some knights from Lorraine detached with Baldwin of Boulonge and captrued the city of Edessa to the east. The rest of the army headed south into Turkic Syria and beseiged Antioch, which then was occupied under Bohemond of Taranto, a Norman crusader lord from Sicily. Under Raymond of Toulouse, the rest of the crusaders marched south and recovered Jerusalem and Galilee.After the first crusade, Godfrey de Boullion was proclaimed soverign of Jerusalem in 1099. The next year, he fell ill and died. His brother Baldwin, the count of Edessa, became king. Under Baldwin, the crusaders captured the cities of Acre, Beruit, Tyre, and Caeserea. Later, the southern coastal metropolis of Ascalon was recovered after a lengthy siege by kingBaldwin III. Following these successes, the crusader states in the eastern Mediterranean were established to their fullest extent. In the decades after 1150, the Moslems of Aleppo, Damascus, and Cairo became stronger and more capable of combating the Europeans. In 1187, the royal army of Jerusalem, along with the Templars and Hospitallers, rode to destruction at the Battle of Hattin. That same year Jerusalem was lost, along with most of the other cities. Soon, only Tyre remained in crusader hands. Richard the Lion Heart's Third Crusade regained the coastal cities from the Muslims, but the kingdom of Jerusalem was never as strong again as it had been following those early successes.
What was the first type of luxury transport?
That would vary with the location and the time frame. For example: * There were certainly well appointed, slave borne sedan chairs, and in prehistoric times it may have been as simple as a piggyback ride. * The Pharohs had gilded chariots. * The European rulers had ornate horse-drawn coaches. * Franz Ferdinand was assassinated while riding in an open 1911 Bois de Boulonge touring car. * Ettore Bugtti built his Type 41 Royale just in time for the great depression and only sold six of them. (The next time one is sold, it will go 10 million US dollars or more.) The Roll-Royce Silver Ghost, Auburn, Cords, Dussenbergs and Hitler's Grosser Mercedes-Benz 770K aren't the last of the world's custom autos. * The first luxury shipping may have been for Pharohs, heads of State and the Robber Barrons, but Onassis's Christina O pales compared to the yachts in production today. The Csar of Russia was the owner of several noteable yachts, and the US once owned a Presidential Yacht called Sequoia.Viking Burial longboats are also considered in the luxury class, and a new class of shipping called the luxury ship condominium is taking a stab at an unususal market. * Customized aircraft may have existed in very small numbers using the Ford Tri Motor before FDR got his decked out DC3 which included a wheelchair elevator for the physically disabled President. The DC-3 was also tricked out after WWII to ferry Hollywood names and high rollers to the city that Bugsy Segal built in Nevada. Air Force One has often been pointed out as the Ultimate Executive aircraft. Its finest feature however is its communictions and electronics package, and not its luxury appointments. There are larger and more opulent private aircraft in existence. Corporate and private jet ownership owes its start to Bill Lear, the 8-track audio system inventor. There are less and less people who even know what that device was, since it was quickly replaced by smaller and more sophisticated electronics.
