The Second Crusade: Kingdom of Jerusalem part 2.

Today we're going to cover the intriguing history of the kingdom of Jerusalem up the second crusade.

We will start off by covering the history of the Outremer following the death of King Baldwin the first which will be followed by covering cultural exchange between the crusader states and the Islamic world.

We will then jump forward to the rise of Zengi, the fall of Edessa and how this led to the calling of the second crusade. We will then end with covering the exploits of King Louis vii of France and Emperor Conrad iii of the Holy Roman Empire as well as how their exploits led to the disastrously failed siege of Damascus and its aftermath.

The history of the kingdom of Jerusalem is a central part of crusades' history as well as medieval history in general. After watching this video you will have a better understanding of the history of the second crusade and how it relates to the history of the kingdom of Jerusalem.
