The First Crusade Before From East

The key question is how come it took 450 years since Jerusalem fell to the Arabs or to Muslims to respond? So control of the Christian holy sites are important. And so that opens up a whole chapter of Crusades that run through for the next couple of hundred years. But Peter, let's keep our focus on the Turks. They've built cities and places like Konya, previously Iconium. Yeah, I think they've built anything particularly. I mean, you want to take control of key access routes, both for trade, but also for defensive purposes.
