In the aftermath of the Latin acquirement of Jerusalem in 1099, Pope Pashal II launched a follow-up campaign aimed at bolstering the defenses of the newly established Latin States in the Levant. The resulting campaign pitted several Latin armies against the forces of the Seljuks and the Danishmends in Anatolia.

Thank you! Super informational for the essay I’m writing!

[@RealCrusadesHistory]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MyRkAcc]

Went to look up more about the people involved, and ended up on wikipedias page about the crusades in general.
For one section (legacy) the frigging first sentence is saying that the Kingdom of Jerusalem was a european experiment in colonization...
Frigging hell. Do this people have to apply their postmodern (lack of) morals onto everything to matter how far in the past it is and how intentionally ignorant they are...

[@heofonfyr6000]

well, the war isn't finished, mate
the Jews want us gone and they are still opening the gates and encouraging the Muslims.
if you really wanna be pissed off go and look at the wiki page for Islam and look at the gif showing the progress of Islamic conquest....it does exactly what you think it will do but you still won't believe your eyes when you watch it.

@@heofonfyr6000 amen brother. They've wrapped their tentacles around every aspect of European culture, including our sacred religion. So many people don't realize that modern academia is NOT trustworthy as a reliable source of information. That is except for REAL CRUSADES HISTORY! This man tells it like it is.

Marching towards to Edessa through Antioch would be better than to Niksar to rescue the king

[@Sisyphus317]

Stephen of Blois also turned the Byzantines away during the seige of Antioch.

[@weltarchiv4]

No, the Byzantines came after Antioch was taken (even though it had been agreed that they would join the siege) and wanted the Franks to hand it over, but the Franks refused and founded the Principality of Antioch. The
Byzantines went on braking every promise they made to the Franks and eventually were punished for it.

[@Sisyphus317]

weltarchiv4 i am pretty sure Alexis comminuos was heading that way and Stephen of Blois told them it was a lost cause so he turned around with Stephen of Blois. @realcrusadeshistory can you clarify?

[@syedmuhammadkhan]

Alexios was on his way to Antioch but Stephen told him that the Crusaders had broken off, hence the Komnenian king retreated.

[@syedmuhammadkhan]

I read this in Yli Remo's book

[@bruhmcchaddeus413]

@@Sisyphus317Yes stephen was indeed the one who turned Alexios away but Alexios believed it too easily somehow lol Alexios fought bohemond before and he knew bohemond was a strong capable commander so it dont make sense he was convinced so easily

Why don't you ever mention the numbers involved? Makes all the difference in the world

[@stephanvandenadel4647]

because this is not one of the numbered ones. This conflict is called the crusade of 1101. Check the wikipedia pages...

[@the6thcolumn588]

I think he means the number or combatants in each campaign/siege/battle. Crusaders were often vastly outnumbered

[@justgamesaaron7968]

@@the6thcolumn588 umm thats not true the crusades have brought the biggest armies ever from europe

[@justgamesaaron7968]

@@the6thcolumn588 the truth is the crusaders from all countries in europe united to go march towards Jerusalem, and in fact were defeated many times by the arabs and sejulks thats because back then the infantry of the arabs were the m9st powerful in the world during that time and defeated many outnumbered crusader armys

[@RandomGuy-df1oy]

@@the6thcolumn588 Nope. Look at Battle of Harim or Harran for example. Especially in Crusade 1101 crusaders had number advantage. Seljuks of Anatolia had no way to raise a well-crowded army. They faced the Crusaders at doryleaum with less than 10k.

It was a survival struggle for Seljuks and other Muslim Turks around there. A terrible one.
