	Siege of Jerusalem (Middle Eastern-European history, 1099)

Note: During the first crusade in 1099, the Christian army encamped before Jerusalem, whose governor was well supplied and confident that he could withstand a siege until a relief force arrived from Egypt. The Crusaders, on the other hand, were short of supplies for some time, until vessels arrived at Jaffa. The Crusaders attained their goal after three long years.
