About This Challenge
The First Crusades were a series of religious wars sanctioned by the Latin Church in the medieval period. One way to engage with this historical topic is through a timeline game that allows players to place events in their correct chronological order.
- The First Crusade was launched in 1096 in response to the appeal from Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos to help repel the Seljuk Turks from Anatolia.
- The siege of Jerusalem in 1099 marked the culmination of the First Crusade, resulting in the capture of the city by the Crusaders.
- The Fourth Crusade, which started in 1202, deviated from its original goal of retaking Jerusalem and instead led to the sack of Constantinople in 1204.
