Summary
The most extraordinary siege in medieval history began with the arrival of a Christian army at Jerusalem in the dawn of 7 June 1099. There were other sieges that lasted longer, involved greater numbers of troops and deployed more siege engines, but nothing else in the entire medieval period compares to the extraordinary journey that the besiegers had made to reach their goal, and the heady religious direction they had been given by the pope to embark on this military pilgrimage, the First Crusade.
