The Siege of Jerusalem - Bloodshed in the First Crusade

  • Summary

  • In the fourteenth episode of 5 Minute Warfare, we revisit the dramatic Siege of Jerusalem in 1099, a pivotal moment in the First Crusade. In just five minutes, we recount how Crusader forces, driven by religious fervour, laid siege to the holy city, overcoming its defences in a brutal assault. The siege culminated in a bloody conquest, with thousands of lives lost and the city irrevocably changed. Join us as we explore the strategies, struggles, and historical significance of this defining clash in medieval warfare.
