... the Black Day story goes on here ... just later, this French campaign around Anno Domini 1100

[Intro: Loyal french people and nobles and especially the royal court felt all a dark shadow after the certain battle at 1092 for a quite long time, after the Burgundian army destroyed the promising heir Hugues Capet's life including his followers - his army and the men of Clermont including Bernard the Chancelor and Local Souvereign of Clermont and the Auvergne]

3 years later the Pope called the Christianity to arms, well yes, happened in Clermont at the Catholic Synode, Urban held a strong sermon, Deus Lo Vult has been the answer of the crowd, if noble or simple man. Of course many Frankish crusaders packed their baggage and went on to the Near-East, the goal: Free the Holy Land and especially the city Jerusalem from all heathens.

At about 1100, the Franks arrived, and instantly besieged the city of Jerusalem ... the big city was captured and unfortunately, it is true, the "holy warriors" bathed in blood, quite less Muslims and also Jews survived.

The first action has been to lay the Martial Law on the settlement ... this shall give the remaining infidels the rest ...



As next the Crusader State was proclaimed ...



Then the crusade leader got the titles and important retinues came in ...


Prior to this, the Muslim allies around agreed to a ceasefire, and even the Seljuks came to ask for an alliance.

It seems, this state can grow now, what will happen though in the next years?

However, for the moment, doubtfree a bright day for the christianity.
