The Crusaders attacked Jerusalem during the First Crusade in 1099 with the goal of reclaiming the city from Muslim control. They saw it as a holy mission to recapture the city where Jesus had lived and died. The capture of Jerusalem was a key objective in the Crusader's efforts to secure Christian control over important religious sites in the region.
