    Siege of Jerusalem

    Jerusalem
    Wednesday Jun 7, 1099

    Bohemond remained in Antioch, retaining the city, despite his pledge to return it to Byzantine control, while "Raymond IV, Count of Toulouse" led the remaining Crusader army rapidly south along the coast to Jerusalem. An initial attack on the city failed, and the siege of Jerusalem of 1099 became a stalemate until they breached the walls on 15 July 1099. For two days the Crusaders massacred the inhabitants and pillaged the city.
