TODAY IS CELEBRATE THE FIRST CRUSADE DAY!
July 16, 1099 – First Crusade: Christian soldiers take the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem after the final assault of a difficult siege. The First Crusade was the result of the Byzantine emperor Alexios I’s appeal to Pope Urban II for mercenaries to help him resist Muslim Turk advances into territory of the Byzantine Empire.
Happy First Crusade Day! 🙂
(And people say I have no sense of humor.)
