The Siege of Jerusalem 1099 | Video | WiPlex Studios
About this shortStep into the blistering heat of June 1099 as the Crusader vanguard halts before the ancient limestone ramparts of Jerusalem.
Godfrey of Bouillon stands firm against the arid wind, his crimson cross standard planted in the dry earth, as thousands hold their breath before history fractures.
From the initial waves of arrows to the construction of massive siege towers, witness the grinding toll of the siege and the logistical surge of timber forgers.
Feel the tension as the great battering ram tests the city's bones and the first breach opens the path to the inner courtyard.
Experience the final assault on the Antonia Fortress and the disciplined advance through the narrow alleys to the Temple Mount.
Godfrey's quiet authority guides the ranks through the dust and chaos, culminating in the capture of the city and the dawn of a new era.
