Peter the Hermit went around preaching and
asked people to march with him to Jerusalem.
Majority of the people were unarmed. Most of
them died and they turned back.
Meanwhile an army formed in South France.
Count Raymond led the volunteers from
Provence France.
Godfrey of Bouillon led the Rhinelands.
Normandy was led by William, Robert the
conquror’s son.
Northern Italy was led by Bohemond.
Everyone went to Constantinople on their own time. The army left
with 700,000 men and 100,000 were knights. They went down the
Medditerranean coast. One of the battles on the way to Jerusalem
was the seige of Antioch. They lost 75% of their men in Antioch.
When they finally reached Jerusalem, the army failed to get take
Jerusalem on the first attempt but succeded on the second. Once in
Jerusalem they killed the majority of the Muslims there and they
looted all the houses.
• The Second
Crusade took
place between
1145-1149
• It was formally announced by Pope
Eugene III
• Was the first Crusade to be led by
European Kings from France and Germany
 The Germans and the French took different ways to get
across Europe
 After crossing in Byzantine controlled land, they were
separated by the Seljuq Turks
• When the remains of the
German and French armies got
to Jerusalem they made a rash
decision
• 1148, they decided to attack the
city of Damascus
 With this ill advised attack on the city of Damascus,
the crusaders lost a lot of men and it was a huge
success for the Muslims
 This ultimately gave key influence
to the fall Jerusalem and give
rise to the third Crusade in the 12th
century
