@guardians_of_ages: The Siege of Jerusalem in 1099 was the decisive event of the First Crusade. The crusaders, led by Godfrey of Bouillon, besieged the city, which was under Fatimid control, from June 7 to July 15, 1099. After breaching the defenses, they captured Jerusalem and established the Kingdom of Jerusalem, with Godfrey proclaimed “Defender of the Holy Sepulchre”. #Crusades #Jerusalem #1099 #FirstCrusade #MedievalHistory #GodfreyOfBouillon #KingdomOfJerusalem #MiddleAges #Knights #History #Europe #East #HolyLand #Armies #Battles Credit: mapsinanutshell (YouTube)
