Crusades

The three kings decide to attack Damascus
  • June 24th : Konrad III. and King Louis VII of France, the leaders of the Second Crusade , meet after a few defeats against the Seljuks in Acre and hold together with King Baldwin III. held a council from Jerusalem to discuss how to proceed. After a controversial discussion, the crusaders agree to besiege Damascus . The city is actually neutral towards the crusaders and an enemy only ad-dins and even pays tribute to the crusaders. However, it also appears to be a worthwhile destination as it is wealthy and nearby and does not have an overly strong military. Damascus is also strategically interesting, as conquering it would cut off the Muslim empires of Syria from those in Egypt.
