The Crusaders continued moving into the Asia Minor and had to fight against the forces of the Seljuk Sultan of Rum Kilij Arslan in Dorylaeum ( • Battle of Dorylaeum 10... ) and after the victory over the sultan, the road to Syria was open, leading to the Siege of Antioch in 1097-1098 ( • Siege of Antioch 1097-... ), but the partial victory of the crusaders in this siege was followed by a counter-attack of various Seljuk generals, leading to the biggest battle of the First Crusade - the battle of Antioch ( • Biggest Battle of the ... ). In the aftermath of the battle, the crusade almost collapsed, as the infighting between the princes became too difficult to resolve leading to a Civil War like situation ( • Civil War of the First... ). Despite this situation, Crusaders managed to retain some of their unity and continued deeper into Syria, where they fought at Ma'arra.

The issues persists, but the majority of the remaining Crusader army finally reached Jerusalem and besieged it ( • Siege of Jerusalem 109... ). In the aftermath of taking Jerusalem, Crusaders needed to secure the city against the Fatimid counter-offensive, which led to the last battle of the First Crusade - the battle of Ascalon ( • Last Battle of the Fir... ). It was followed by the Crusade many consider to be the worst - the Crusade of 1101

    huge respect to great sultan and soldier Kilij Arslan i. he was always against great odds his entire life. captive at Meliksah's palace at Isfahan until 13 years old, he was only 18 when first crusaders arrived. In a region where he was a stranger and with very little amount of Turkmens at Anatolia at the time, he defeated big crusader armies at a very young age. Both European and Muslim chroniclers state that crusaders had bigger armies in 1101 crusade than that of 1097.

      At the same time these crusaders had essentially nearly the same lacking knowledge that the first crusade had when talking about their oppenents and the terrain/route.
      If they had known better, they'd have prepared more supplies, or even better taken the southern Anatolian coastal route, longer but more easily supplied and safe and once linked up with the crusaders states, they could have executed more thought out and well prepared expeditions.
      Truly could have changed a lot if these groups (+-40k troops) would have linked up with the crusader states, potentially allowing the crusaders states to exist for a lot longer and bigger.

    Nice overview. I appreciated that this synthesis did not fall into the usual trap about the "feeble" Lombards. Impulsive? Certainly. Strategically illiterate? Looks like it. But it still was a large, mostly infantry contingent that managed to travel thousands of kms into alien lands and ended up resisting for 3-4 days under enemy archers' volleys before being crushed. This said, the amount of persistent, repeated mistakes crusaders made, wave after wave, beggars belief. Kilij Arslan was an impressive leader, no doubt.

    I would recommend to do even longer videos with more details related to battles or strategies, tactics used.
    Then, when will be ready the playlist with second crusade? Now there are first, third and fourth as far as I saw.
    Probably better also to go in chronological order for next time :)

    16:40 Kings and Generals, It is written in our historical sources that the Seljuk villagers gave food to about 3 thousand French crusaders who dispersed in this war and fled to the mountains, then surrendered to the Seljuks and were taken prisoner, later accepted Islam and settled in Konya, where they were assimilated by mixing with the local people. in Seljuk history. Did you know about this?

Also, would be interesting to see a video on the Byzantine reaction or thoughts as to the result of the Crusade, as opposed to their thoughts at the outset (as depicted in previous video). Why didn't they attempt to more adroitly use the massive Western forces (20-50 thousand troops being enormous for this time) to reconquer the Byzantine heartlands of Anatolia?

      Your claim makes absolutely no sense... It wasn't given a "number" because it is considered part of the first crusade, and was comprised of three different expeditions whose aim was to secure the successes of the first crusade, hence their name in modern historiography : "the Succouring Crusades".
      Subsequent crusades didn't go that well either (though a couple were successful), yet they were also given numbers.
      What are "westoids" by the way ? The West is a cardinal point, anyone could be a "westoid" relative to anyone else.
      Maybe you meant to say "European".

      1- Westoid isnt European. It is Western/Central European. Byzantines, Balkans or Russians arent westoids.
      In this case it is Latin/Normans.
      2- It is not '''my claim''. It is the videos claim and it is the truth.
      You can classify crusades however you want. It has also been classified ''the crusade of the faint hearted''.
      Video explains westerner historians traditionally mark the end of first crusade with the battle of Ascalon. So the traditional view is this crusade was something seperate. ''Crusade of 1101''
      Westoid historians neither classify this crusade under the first crusade (in order to not damage the reputation of it) nor number this one.
      3- Militarily only second crusade was as big a blunder/fiasco as this one. Funnily, due to the same reason as the 1101 one, Seljuks. This time Kilij Arslans son, Mesut I.
      However second crusade was led by German Emperor and Frankish King. Being the first crusade that kings/emperors were the leaders of.
      Due to that it was already impossible to downplay its importance like this one.

    Mighty Kılıç Arslan a Warrior, a general, a Sultan. He is extremally underrated. Turks entered Anatolia literally 30 years before the events of this video. They didn't have enough population, they didn't have enough horses because of constant warfare (step warfare requires horse switches because of all that feigned retreats and circlements) and they had been beefing with pretty much all their neighbors. Even in all that chaos how many crusader armies didn't reach levant because of his skill as a general? How much time did he buy for Muslim counteroffensive? We are really proud of him in Türkiye.

    With the Crusader army moved onwards towards Antioch, emperor Alexios I Komnenos achieved part of his original intent in inviting the Crusaders in the first place: the recovery of Seljuk-held imperial territories in Asia Minor. John Doukas re-established Byzantine rule in Chios, Rhodes, Smyrna, Ephesus, Sardis, and Philadelphia in 1097-1099. This success is ascribed by Alexios' daughter Anna to his policy and diplomacy, but by the Latin historians of the crusade to his treachery and falseness.
    The Gesta Francorum did praise the Turkish army's bravery and superhuman efforts at Dorylaeum. It stated "Had the Turks been Christian, they would have been the finest of races."[6]
