Constantinople played a crucial role in the Crusades as a key waypoint and a source of support for the Crusaders. Initially, the Byzantine Empire sought help from Western Europe to fend off Muslim advances, leading to the First Crusade in 1096. As Crusaders traveled through the city, it became a center for logistics and resources, although tensions often arose between the Byzantines and the Crusaders. Ultimately, the city was also a target during the Fourth Crusade in 1204, when Crusaders diverted from their original mission and captured Constantinople itself.
Constantinople was the prior name of the city of Istanbul, I don't believe it had a 'definition' other than 'large city'.

Pope Urban II called upon Christendom to go on the Crusades in 1095; Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. You do the math. ^_^
The First Crusade began in 1096, while Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. This means that a total of 357 years passed between the start of the Crusades and the loss of Constantinople. The Crusades significantly shaped the political and religious landscape of the time, culminating in the eventual conquest of this pivotal city.
Yes they did. They managed to conquer Constantinople in 1204 and formed The Latin Empire of Constantinople until 1261 when The Emperor of Nicea reconquered the City for The Byzantine Empire.
