Siege of Antioch (1097–98)
On the Crusades map as “The Siege of Antioch”
Oct 1097–Jun 1098 — eight starving months outside the walls, then, days after taking the city, the crusaders are themselves besieged by Kerbogha’s relief army. A discovered relic — the Holy Lance — and Muslim disunity turn near-annihilation into victory.
