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. Unfortunately, that was the battle that turned them into cannibals ( • Battle that Turned Cru... ). 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.

If you think about it, the First Crusade is the perfect embodiment of European mentality and history in itself. "United in diversity. Mainly, diversity of grudges. Because as hell that guy is getting 2 more square feet of lands than me."

[@brainflash1]

Couldn't finish the series on the First Crusade without one last "fuck you" to Raymond.

[@TheOldBlackShuckyDog]

Very nice, can we expect the full documentaries of other crusades? Haven't seen many people talk about the second, despite it's abysmal failure.

[@anarchopupgirl]

In the aftermath of the battle, the crusaders were fishing soldier's bloated corpses from the sea, just like in our sponsor, Fishing Clash!

[@RoboticDragon]

Said it before, but I love that you guys revisited and fleshed out the crusades again.

[@deniang2464]

Wow Peter still alive he is the real prophet 🛐

[@A_Red_December]

Wow, I thought this would be the last video in the First Crusade series, but we have more! Such good work.

[@filb]

I never get tired of two stories: Caesar's campaigns and The first Crusade journey.

[@mattgrandich3977]

Good coverage of the epilogue of the First Crusade’s leaders. It’s not always mentioned what ultimately became of the First Crusade’s leaders and like mentioned it is usually glossed over.

[@cnw6306]

Okay first crusade documentary was finally going to end, now i hope you make documentary about second crusade, that's a very underrated one, very rarely i see yutuber making about that second crusade :(

[@ElBandito]

Capture of Ascalon this early would have made so much difference later on.

[@ramdallytimothee2242]

Perfectly made ,I've watched all the first crusade videos so instructive!Thank you so much !

[@vrba9863]

You guys are incredible! Episodes about Byzantine Empire, Mongols, Ottomans are my favourites! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Croatia!

[@robbabcock_]

What an amazing series! I'll have to rewatch them all again once the series is complete.

[@JOGA_Wills]

Man I love history, there is always something you do not know about even when you think you do, the Crusade of the Faint Hearted, can't wait!!

[@user-yr4js5zq1k]

Can't wait to watch the full video when this series ends!!! Excellent work yet again!!

[@EdwiDecorte]

I'm surprised there is no mention of Eustace III of Boulogne, the older brother of Godfrey of Bouillon and Baldwin of Boulogne, the first two rulers of Jerusalem. Eustace was a trusted and capable major noble during the First Crusade, leading his own retinue and being present at Nicaea, Dorylaeum, Antioch, and Jerusalem. At the battle of Ascalon he commanded a division of the crusader army, after which he returned home to the County of Boulogne to administer his domains.

[@arozes8324]

Thanks for the Series! ❤

[@almighty5839]

I hope in the future we can get independent videos on life and history of each crusader state! Sort of sad this series is over but it’s been awesome.
