They captured Jerusalem, as well as a bunch of other minor, insignificant places in the Middle East. They did not hold onto these territories for long.
Many cities were attackd by the crusaders. The most important two were:Jerusalem, captured by the crusaders of the First Crusade in 1099, with its entire population slaughtered, without concern whether they were Muslim or Christian.Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Empire, which was sacked by the crusaders of the Fourth Crusade in 1204.

Constantinople
By now, the first of the five armies of the First Crusade were on their way to Constantinople. Godfrey of Bouillon arrived first. Soon after him, Bohemond of Taranto arrived, followed by Count Raymond IV of Toulouse. After that, Count Robert II arrived. Last came Duke Robert of Normandy. Together, they attacked Muslim lands. The city of Nicaea was taken first. Following that, the crusaders attacked and captured Antioch. Nearly all of the Muslims inside were killed by the merciless crusaders. Then the crusaders attacked Marrat an-Nu'man where the crusaders slaughtered a hundred thousand people. A year later, the crusaders attacked Jerusalem. Since the crusaders thought that killing Muslims was very good for the soul, they murdered as many as they could. No one was given mercy. Old or young, sick or healthy, male or female, all were beheaded and killed by the invading crusaders. The city was full of blood that reached up to the knees of the soldiers and up to the horses' bridles. The Muslims were forced to throw themselves from the tops of towers and buildings, were burnt alive, and the list goes on. The crusaders climbed up to the top of the Temple of Solomon, from where they massacred hundreds and thousands of Muslims. The slaughter was only paused when the crusaders gave thanks to their Lord. Then it was continued with as much ferocity as before.

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 trying to reach Jerusalem.
The Crusaders captured Jerusalem in July 1099 after a lengthy siege. They combined military might with strategic planning, surrounding the city and cutting off supplies. After several weeks, they launched a final assault, breaching the city walls. The fall of Jerusalem was marked by brutal fighting, and upon entering the city, the Crusaders engaged in widespread violence against its inhabitants.
