Years: 1100 - 1100
July

The crusaders, having captured Jerusalem and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, have fulfilled the crusading vow, but there are many who had gone home before reaching Jerusalem, and many who had never left Europe at all.

When the success of the crusade becomes known, these people are mocked and scorned by their families and threatened with excommunication by the Pope.

Many crusaders who had remained with the crusade all the way to Jerusalem have also gone home; according to Fulcher of Chartres, there are in 1100 only a few hundred knights left in the newfound kingdom.

Godfrey himself only rules for one year, dying in July 1100.
