The Impact of the First crusade
The Byzantine Empire
Land
Return of Southern Anatolian coast
meant more stability during his reign b/c of income
went after crusaders in Anatolia taking previously owned lands
Relations w/ crusaders
Provided for them during the crusade
This stopped at Antioch (Stephen of Blois told him to turn back)
This would create dispute over ownership of Antioch w/ Bohemond
Was suspicious of them from the start
took oaths of allegiance from crusader leaders
Bohemond had fought for land against the empire
too many volunteers
The Latin West
Crusade of 1101
returning cowards (Stephen of Blois) signed up as well
surge of enthusiasm
reluctant non-participants of first crusade signed up
Return of crusaders
Crusaders came back w/ relics
Most crusaders went home after visiting holy sites + were welcomed as heroes
Catholic church
didn't end Investiture Controversy but raised prestige of Church
said victory was God smiling on Catholic church
The Muslim Near East
Why they wouldn't be bothered
saw crusaders as Byzantine force + not different religious army
Barrier between Sunni and Shiah Muslims
Fatimids
Peed off that they had lost Jerusalem
Godfrey launched preemptive attack on Ascalon garrison in defense
Defeated them by surprise + sent them back to Egypt
made immediate response by gathering troops in Ascalon
Syria
Preacher in Damascus called for response but was not listened to
Kerbogha returned to Mosul + wouldn't bother crusaders
Ridwan + Duqaq had just been defeated by Crusader's = couldn't retaliate
Baghdad didn't want to help them b/c didn't care about Jerusalem
