Palestine: The Siege of Jerusalem during the First Crusade (7 June - 15 July 1099). Miniature painting by Guillaume de Tyr/William of Tyre (1130 - 29 September 1186) from a copy of the Histoire d'Outremer, c. 13th century. The Siege of Jerusalem took place from June 7 to July 15, 1099 during the First Crusade. The Crusaders stormed and captured the city from Fatimid Egypt. Throughout the siege, attacks were made on the walls, but each one was repulsed. The Genoese troops, led by commander Guglielmo Embriaco, had previously dismantled their ships and used the wood to make siege towers.
