The crusaders failed to recapture Edessa.
The first Crusader state - the County of Edessa 1098 -1149 thenThe Principality of Antioch 1098-1268 The Kingdom of Jerusalem 1099-1291
The crusades started because the Pope wanted to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control. While there were actually many small crusades, there are four major ones that stick out in history. The first crusade, from 1095-1099, is considered a Christian success because the crusaders were able to reclaim Jerusalem. The second crusade, from 1145-1148 was fought to claim Edessa from the Muslims. The crusaders lost the battle. The third crusade, from 1187-1191, was fought to attempt to reclaim Jerusalem from Saludin. While the crusaders did not win Muslim control, Christians were given free citizen access. The fourth crusade, from 1198-1204, was the most brutal. The crusaders ended up attacking their own cities and causing devastation to their own people, without ever making it to the Holy Land.

the second crusade
The Muslims captured Edessa and defeated the crusaders at Damascus in the year 1144.
It was during the Second Crusade in 1144.
The crusaders failed to recapture Edessa.
The Crusaders took Jerusalem in 1099, and established four crusader states: Kingdom of Jerusalem, County of Edessa, the Principality of Antioch and the County of Tripoli. The Muslims fought back, and in 1144 they re-took Edessa. In 1187 most of the crusader territory was lost to Saladin. The crusaders never recovered the lost territory by military conquest, although there was a brief period, 1228-1244 when Emperor Frederick II was formally king of Jerusalem, whereafter the Muslims regained control of the city.

Edessa, Antioch, Tripoli and Jerusalem
The four states were Jerusalem, Tripoli, Edessa, and Antioch.
In 1097, Nicaea was captured and given to the Byzantine Empire. The Jewish and Muslims lost Jerusalem in July 1099, many of whom were massacred, and the Kingdom of Jerusalem was formed. Along with that capture, the following crusader states were founded: the County of Tripoli, the Principality of Antioch, the County of Edessa.
