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.
This is one scene of Chapter 2 — The First Crusade in The Crusades, 1095–1291.
