What happened 1148 AD

Louis (Louis VII of France) was not as lucky at the battle of Mount Cadmus on 6 January 1148, where the Seljuk army inflicted heavy losses on the Crusaders. The army sailed for Antioch in January, almost totally destroyed by battle and sickness.

The Crusader army arrived at Antioch on 19 March 1148 with the intent of moving to retake Edessa, but the objective was changed to Damascus.

Bad luck and poor tactics led to the disastrous five-day siege of Damascus from 24 to 28 July 1148.

Six-month siege of Tortosa, ending on 30 December 1148 with a defeat for the Moors.
