First Crusade, Saracens Fire Arrows At Crusaders
Siege of a town led by Godfrey de Bouillon during the 1st Crusade showing Saracens firing arrows at Crusaders as they attempt to scale the walls with ladders under cover of their own long bowmen. Godfrey of Bouillon (18 September 18, 1060 - July 18, 1100) was a medieval Frankish knight who was one of the leaders of the First Crusade from 1096 until his death. He was the Lord of Bouillon, from which he took his byname, from 1076 and the Duke of Lower Lorraine from 1087. After the successful siege of Jerusalem in 1099, Godfrey became the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, although he refused the title "King"; as he believed that the true King of Jerusalem was Christ; preferring the title of "Advocate of the Holy Sepulcher".
