In a previous episode of Pixel History, we covered the Christian success of the First Crusade and the founding of the four crusader states. What seemed like a great victory for the Christians would soon turn out to be but a brief taste of victory in the east, however. In a land rife with enemies, the European invaders quickly found that they might have bit off more than they could chew and it would prove an incredible challenge to maintain their hold on each of the four crusader states.
