A new plan is made to attack …

Years: 1148 - 1148
August

A new plan is made to attack Ascalon following the crusaders’ failure at Damascus.

Conrad brings his troops here, but no further help arrives, due to the lack of trust that had resulted from the failed siege.

This mutual distrust will linger for a generation due to the defeat, to the ruin of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land.

After quitting Ascalon, a dismayed Conrad decamps immediately, returning to Constantinople to further his alliance with Manuel.

The Second Crusade, riven by internal conflicts and repulsed by the Muslims with relative ease, is abandoned.

An unqualified military disaster, it has nevertheless enhanced the visibility, and hence the prestige, of the French crown.
