Siege of Nicaea
Time: Friday May 14, 1097
Place: Nicaea (Present-Day İznik, Turkey)
Details: Alexios I Komnenos persuaded many of the princes to pledge allegiance to him. He also convinced them their first objective should be Nicaea. Buoyed by their success at Civetot, the over-confident Seljuks left the city unprotected, thus enabling its capture after the siege of Nicaea in May–June 1097.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
