The Christian Army embarked on the long Journey to the holy land first stopping at the Byzantine city of Constantinople, before capturing Muslim Territory in Asia Minor.
After an 8-month siege to breach the walls of Antioch in Syria, they were able to get in the city, but were trapped inside by the army of Kerbogha, a Muslim General. After the crusaders ran low on supplies, they become desperate and the ones who didn't desert the western army decided to go down fighting against Kerbogha's forces. The Muslim army was composed of rival factions, so they did not stick around to help each other, and the crusaders prevailed.
After 3 years of fighting, the Western Crusaders managed to reach Jerusalem. Godfrey of Bouillon, the leader of the crusade, breached Jerusalem's defenses and a bloody massacre of the inhabitants ensued, ending the first crusade. Godfrey took control of the city once the fighting came to its conclusion.
