Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the First Crusade continues with the aftermath of the battle of Civetot of 1096 () during the socalled People's Crusade of the First Crusade and the battle of Nicaea of 1097 () as the Princes' Crusade began. The Crusaders continued moving into the Asia Minor and had to fight against the forces of the Seljuk Sultan of Rum Kilij Arslan in Dorylaeum () and after the victory over the sultan, the road to Syria was open, leading to the Siege of Antioch in 10971098 (), but the partial victory of the crusaders in this siege was followed by a counterattack of various Seljuk generals, leading to the biggest battle of the First Crusade the battle of Antioch (). In the aftermath of the battle, the crusade almost collapsed, as the infighting between the princes became too difficult to resolve leading to a Civil War like situation (). Despite this situation, Crusaders managed to retain some of their unity and continued deeper into Syria, where they fought at Ma'arra. Unfortunately, that was the battle that turned them into cannibals (). The issues persists, but the majority of the remaining Crusader army finally reached Jerusalem and besieged it (). In the aftermath of taking Jerusalem, Crusaders needed to secure the city against the Fatimid counteroffensive, which led to the last battle of the First Crusade the battle of Ascalon (). It was followed by the Crusade many consider to be the worst the Crusade of 1101 (). In the aftermath, Crusaders lost the battles of Ramla and Harran, and one of them Bohemond, decided to go on a first crusade against the Romans Byzantine Empire, leading to the siege of Dyrrhachium of 110708 against the emperor Alexios.
