Peter the Hermits

followers marched
into Asia Minor,
where they were
enslaved and killed
by Turks. A few
months later, a
new group of
soldiers set out,
first reaching
Nicaea, then
crossing through
Asia Minor and into
Antioch in Northern
Syria, where they
laid siege. From
there, they moved
south and attacked
Jerusalem.

The two armies

marched
seperately
across Europe.
After crossing
Antolia, both
armies were
defeated by the
Turks. The
remainder of
both the armies
reached
Jerusalem and
participated in

Damascus. The
crusade in the
east was a
failure for the
crusaders and
would have a
key influence
on the fall of
Jerusalem.

infidels after

JErusalem, but
their ships were
blown off
