The First Crusade, which took place in 1099, was a significant event in European history. In this fanciful manuscript depicting the capture of Jerusalem by European knights, we can see the grandeur and excitement surrounding this momentous occasion. The Seljuk Turks were defeated at Dorylaeum during the crusade, marking a turning point in the campaign. Another pivotal moment captured in a wood engraving from the 19th century is the capture of Antioch, Turkey by crusaders. This victory further fueled their determination to reclaim holy lands from Muslim control. It was Peter the Hermit who initiated this first crusade with his impassioned cry of "God wants it. " in 1095. One particularly striking depiction is an oil painting showcasing the taking of Jerusalem on July 15, 1099. The artist skillfully captures both the triumph and religious fervor that accompanied this conquest. In France's Cluny region, preparations for this historic expedition were underway as depicted in an image showing individuals making their way to Clermont where Peter would proclaim his call to arms. A colored engraving after Gustave Dor portrays Godfrey of Bouillon leading his troops during the storming of Jerusalem. His leadership played a crucial role in securing victory for Christian forces. The coronation of Baldwin II is illustrated through a miniature from William of Tyre's Historia dating back to the 1460s. This event solidified Christian rule over conquered territories and marked an important milestone for future rulers. An intriguing artwork showcases barefoot Crusaders participating in a procession around Jerusalem's city walls on July 14th, one day before its capture. This ritualistic act symbolized their devotion and commitment to reclaiming these sacred lands. The Siege of Antioch also holds great significance within this campaign as shown through an anonymous artist's portrayal dating back to approximately 1200 AD. It highlights both military strategy and the determination of Crusaders to overcome formidable obstacles.
