Antioch Fell — But the Crusade Was Far From Over

Описание: Victory had been won… but peace was nowhere in sight.

After months of suffering, starvation, and relentless siege, the Crusaders finally captured the mighty city of Antioch. Banners of the Cross flew above its walls, and victory seemed within reach.

But triumph quickly turned into terror.

Trapped inside the city and surrounded by a massive Seljuk relief army led by Kerbogha of Mosul, the Crusaders faced starvation, despair, and the very real possibility of annihilation. Morale collapsed. Some planned to flee. Faith itself was tested.

What followed would become one of the most dramatic turning points of the First Crusade — a moment when survival demanded courage, unity, and belief against impossible odds.

This episode explores the siege of Antioch, the counter-siege, and the battle that changed the course of the Crusade forever.
