Jerusalem 1099: The First Crusade Siege and the Massacre

6 min•14 juni 2026

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the brutal 1099 siege of Jerusalem during the First Crusade. They cover the arrival of the Crusader army under Raymond of Saint-Gilles and Godfrey of Bouillon, the desperate defense by the Fatimid garrison under Iftikhar al-Dawla, the construction of siege towers, the breach on July 15, and the ensuing massacre that left the city's Muslim and Jewish populations devastated. The discussion also touches on the aftermath: the establishment of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the role of Raymond of Aguilers as a chronicler, and the lasting impact on Christian-Muslim relations. By delving into specific tactics, personalities, and contemporary accounts, the episode offers a nuanced look at one of the most pivotal and violent events in Jerusalem's history.
