During the Middle Ages, the city of Jerusalem was a significant focal point of conflict between Christians and Muslims. It was conquered by Christian forces during the First Crusade in 1099, with the primary goal of reclaiming the city for Christianity. This conquest led to a violent takeover, resulting in the expulsion or slaughter of many Muslims and Jews residing in Jerusalem at the time. The fall of Jerusalem became a pivotal moment in the Crusades, symbolizing the intense religious and territorial disputes of the era.

In the year 638, the Arab Caliphate, under Caliph Umar ibn Khattab conquered Jerusalem from the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantines were Christian, the Caliphate was Islamic. The early Islamic rulers of Jerusalem were very tolerant of Christians and Jews, but early in the 11th century, under Fatimid rule, Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah (who died in 1021) ordered the destruction of all the churches in Jerusalem. In 1071, the Turkish Seljuks conquered Jerusalem. Suni-Shia conflicts in the region became increasingly violent following this, creating additional hazards for Christian pilgrims.
If you mean the final conquest, it was Vespasian who conquered the territory and his son Titus conquered Jerusalem.
