jan 1, 1099 - Byzantine Empire's Holy Land Crusades

Description:

"'We need help!'
They need help, so they call the pope.
'Heh pope, can you help us get rid of the Seljuks?
Maybe take back the holy land along the way?
Come on, I know you want to take back the holy land.'
'Yes, I do actually want to do that.
Let's do a crusade.'
Crusade!
They did many crusades, some of which almost didn't fail,
But at least the Italians got some sweet trade deals."
