The Crusaders Capture Jerusalem, 1099
In the year 637 the armies of Islam lead by the Caliph Omar
conquered the city of Jerusalem, the center of the Christian
world and a magnet for Christian pilgrims. The city's Muslim
masters exhibited a certain level of religious tolerance. No new
churches were to be built and crosses could not be publicly
displayed outside church buildings, but the pilgrims were
allowed to continue their treks to the holiest shrines of
Christendom (the pilgrims were charged a toll for access). The
situation remained stable for over 400 years. Then, in the
latter part of the 11th century, the Turks swarmed westward out
of Central Asia overrunning all that lay in their path.
Jerusalem fell to them in 1076. The atmosphere of tolerance
practiced by the followers of Omar was replaced by vicious
attacks on the Christian pilgrims and on their sacred shrines in
the Holy City. Reports of robberies, beatings, killings,
degradation of holy sites and the kidnapping for ransom of the
city's patriarch made their way back to Europe. To the Europeans
the Holy Land was now in the smothering grip of the Infidel and
something must be done.
In response, Pope Urban II called a conference at the city of
Clermont, France in 1095, concluding the eight days of
deliberation with one of history's most influential speeches.
Mounting a lofty scaffold, the Pope exhorted the assembled
multitude to wrest the Holy Land from the hands of the Infidel
and assured them that God would absolve them from any sin
associated with the venture. His words fell on receptive ears as
the crowd responded with cries of "It is the will of God!", "It
is the will of God!". The Crusades had begun.
The First Crusade was the most successful in that it actually
accomplished what it set out to do - conquer Jerusalem. But it
had its problems. Responding to the Pope's challenge, thousands
of peasants rallied to the cause motivated by a combination of
religious fervor and the desire to escape their squalid
condition at home. Led by Peter the Hermit and Walter the
Penniless the hapless rabble marched across Europe to
Constantinople, only to be slaughtered by the Turks soon after
crossing the Bosphorus into Asia Minor.
In the meantime, the nobility of Europe raised an army of
thousands that made its way through various routes and with much
mishap to Constantinople. Unfortunately, many of these crusaders
could not wait until they met the Muslims on the field of battle
to demonstrate their religious zeal. As they progressed through
Europe many Jewish communities became the target of their wrath
and thousands were massacred.
In the spring of 1097, a host of over 100,000 crusaders joined
forces on the eastern side of the Bosphorus. The combined army
then fought its way along the coast of the Mediterranean
reaching the gates of Jerusalem in June of 1099.
Capture of the Christian "Navel of the World"
The name of the author of the following eyewitness account is
unknown, but it is considered a reliable description published
before 1101:
"Exulting with joy we reached the city of Jerusalem on Tuesday,
June 6, and we besieged it in a wonderful manner. Robert of
Normandy besieged it on the northern side, near the church of
St. Stephen, the first martyr, who was there stoned for Christ's
name. Next to him was Robert, Count of Flanders. Duke Godfrey
and Tancred carried on the siege on the west. The Count of St.
Gilles operated from the south, on Mount Sion, near the church
of St. Mary, the Lord's mother, where the Lord supped with His
disciples. . . .
During the siege we were unable to find any bread to buy for
about the space of ten days, until a messenger came from our
ships; also we were afflicted by great thirst, so much so that
in fear and terror we had to water our horses and other animals
six miles away. The fountain of Siloam, at the foot of Mount
Sion, sustained us, but the water was sold among us at a high
price. . . . We sewed up skins of oxen and buffaloes in which we
brought the water six miles. The water we drank from such
receptacles was fetid, and what with foul water and barley bread
we daily suffered great affliction and distress. Moreover the
Saracens hid near all the springs and wells and ambushed our
men, killing and mutilating them and driving off the animals
into their dens and caverns.
Then our leaders planned to attack the city with machines, in
order to enter it and adore the sepulchre of our Saviour. They
made two wooden towers and many other machines. . . . Day and
night on the fourth and fifth days of the week we vigorously
attacked the city on all sides; but before we made our assault
the bishops and priests persuaded all by their preaching and
exhortation that a procession should be made round Jerusalem to
God's honour, faithfully accompanied by prayers, alms and
fasting. Early on the sixth day we attacked the city on all
sides and could do nothing against it. We were all surprised and
alarmed. Then, at the approach of the hour at which our Lord
Jesus Christ deigned to undergo the passion of the cross for us,
our knights in one of the towers fought bravely, amongst them
Duke Godfrey and his brother, Count Eustace.
One of our knights, Letholdus by name, climbed on to the wall of
the city. When he reached the top, all the defenders of the city
quickly fled along the walls and through the city. Our men
followed and pursued them, killing and hacking, as far as the
temple of Solomon, and there there was such a slaughter that our
men were up to their ankles in the enemy's blood. . . .
The emir who commanded the tower of David surrendered to the
Count [of St. Gilles] and opened the gate where pilgrims used to
pay tribute. Entering the city, our pilgrims pursued and killed
the Saracens up to the temple of Solomon. There the Saracens
assembled and resisted fiercely all day, so that the whole
temple flowed with their blood. At last the pagans were overcome
and our men seized many men and women in the temple, killing
them or keeping them alive as they saw fit. On the roof of the
temple there was a great crowd of pagans of both sexes, to whom
Tancred and Gaston de Beert gave their banners (to provide them
with protection) . Then the crusaders scattered throughout the
city, seizing gold and silver, horses and mules, and houses full
of all sorts of goods. Afterwards our men went rejoicing and
weeping for joy to adore the sepulchre of our Saviour Jesus and
there discharged their debt to Him. . . .
On the eighth day after the capture of the city they elected
Duke Godfrey prince of the city, to fight the pagans and protect
the Christians. Also, on the day of St. Peter in chains, they
elected as Patriarch a most wise and honourable man, named
Arnulf. The city was captured by the Christians on Friday, July
15."
