In 1095, at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II gave a heated sermon and asked his audience to free Jerusalem from the hands of the Muslims. Therefore he was the first to plant the idea of the crusades into the European thinking, launching the succession of military campaigns that were destined to change the Holy Land.
So begun the so called Princes' Crusade in 1096, the first in the succession of military expeditions for the huge armies. Pious volunteers from all corners of Europe set out to conquer territories in the Holy Land, led by various nobles with bands of knight. The first regular army of crusaders was a loose array of forces sent by the powers dominating the 11th century Europe: the knights of Provence, accompanied by the papal legate; the Normans of southern Italy; the Lorrainers from the borderlands of France and the Holy Roman Empire; and Normandy in Northern France.
Crusaders: Thy Kingdom Come chronicles the ordeals and struggles of the first wave of crusaders through enacting the most important battles of this seemingly impossible task. The events lead our heroes from Constantinople to Jerusalem, incorporating character development and a challenging mission-to-mission gameplay with a historically accurate background.
