Constantinople
Cyprus.
The Siege of Antioch took place during the First Crusade in 1097 and 1098 under the first crusade.
The distance traveled by crusaders varied significantly across the different crusades. During the First Crusade (1096-1099), crusaders journeyed approximately 3,000 miles from Western Europe to Jerusalem. The Second Crusade (1147-1149) involved a route of about 2,500 miles, primarily through the eastern Mediterranean. The Third Crusade (1189-1192) covered around 3,000 miles as well, while the Fourth Crusade (1202-1204) involved approximately 2,000 miles, as crusaders diverted to Constantinople before reaching their ultimate destination.
The Muslims recaptured Jerusalem during the Third Crusade, which took place from 1189 to 1192. The city had fallen to the Crusaders in 1099 during the First Crusade. The key figure in the recapture was the Muslim leader Saladin, who successfully took back the city in 1187, prompting the Third Crusade led by figures such as Richard the Lionheart. Despite this, the Crusaders were unable to reclaim Jerusalem during their campaign.

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.
