1098
The Crusaders had to pass through the major city of Antioch on their way to Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Antioch was a pivotal stronghold that they captured in 1098, which provided a strategic base for their subsequent advance towards Jerusalem. The city's fall was crucial for the Crusaders, as it allowed them to secure a vital route and gather resources before continuing their journey.
The crusaders were able to scale the tower and sneak into Antioch. Once inside they were able to open a gate and allow the rest of the army to come in and attack the city.

Edessa, Antioch, Tripoli and Jerusalem
Cause hes stupid
The four states were Jerusalem, Tripoli, Edessa, and Antioch.
The Siege of Antioch took place during the First Crusade in 1097 and 1098 under the first crusade.
The Crusaders sought to seize Antioch as it was strategically located along the route to Jerusalem and served as a vital stronghold for staging further military operations. Capturing Antioch would provide them with resources, troop reinforcements, and a defensive position against potential counterattacks. If they had not taken Antioch, their advance toward Jerusalem would have been severely hampered, likely resulting in logistical challenges, increased vulnerability to Muslim forces, and a diminished chance of successfully capturing the holy city.
They besieged several cities along the coast (Antioch, Tripoli, Tortosa, Beirut, Sidon, Tyre, Montfort, Acre and Haifa) and moved in: Crusaders declared any house they saw as their own and settled down, rested and used them as permanent homes.
