After the summer and early fall the Crusaders moved on for their main priority, Jerusalem. By May of 1099, they reached the borders of Palestine. In June they camped outside the border of Jerusalem.

.... ready to quit. Even George Washington, at one point, said "If the army does not get help soon, in all likelihood, it will disband."

The future promised only more desperation and hunger. Many could not take the cold weather, lack of food, and uncertainty of living. There were dozens of desertions.

.... was fast connecting with Europe. No more was it isolated, it became the center of attention. Had Russia not been invalid with the political struggles of Europe, its power and interest after WW2 would have declined.

His many foreign wars became a financial burden, yet his long reign is associated with the greatest age of French culture, symbolized by the Palace of Versailles.” (Biographies: Louis XIV). His influence was paramount to all other monarchs prior to him and the glorification of France was his ruthless priority. The legacy of the “Man with the Iron Mask” told of a ruthless side of him that would not even allow his own brother to interfere, if in fact it was his brother in the mask.
