      ​@@Einherjar2k Unfortunately for you, the Church was very much against any sort of witch-hunting. To harm a fellow human under pretense of witchcraft was a punishable offence. The Church often demanded death of anyone who would kill someone in the name of hunting witches. It's not hard to educate yourself. You may want to look up statistics, clearly showing the presence of witch hunts in areas where the Church had the least authority. Furthermore we can see the pattern that where there was the inquisition, thus the authority of the Church, there was little to no witchhunting.

      It's a common misinterpretation of the historical text, as Conrad only had a small contingent at the end of the crusade because he was deserted and abandoned. It was more of a highly successful skirmish then a proper battle. Only the vanguard of half Conrad army was attacked, most casualties was given post battle with the subsequent skirmish and not during the battle itself. Also not many nobles was killed or capture as in other disasters. The Sultan also have no time to gather a proper force to inflict more damage. Casualties mostly inflicted on the Swabian infantry.

    According to Arnold of Lübeck’s late twelfth/early thirteenth-century Chronicles of the Slavs, when the Saxon Duke Heinrich the Lion (1142-1180) came to Tarsus in 1172 on his return from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he was surprised to be welcomed as a kinsman by the Seljuq sultan Kilij Arslan II. Arslan kissed and embraced him, and told the Saxon duke that, “A certain noble matron from the land of the Germans married the king of the Rus’, who fathered from her a daughter, whose daughter came into our land, from whom I descended,”

    Its interesting to study the Second Crusade since there is so much false rumors about byzantine role in the crusade failure X) as if Manuel was actually playing a weird role in it. It emphazise the distrust that existed between latins and greeks that came since the first crusade. Many latins believing that byzantines willingly betrayed latins in seldjuk favor when most of the time it was bad luck and coincidences.
    Manuel generally never betrayed crusaders, as Alexios never did so during crusades. There was conflicts of course but generally coming after crusades. But Manuel actually would have benefited from the crusades as he was at war with Roger II of Sicile and would have appreciated to gain other anatolian territories.
    The Byzantine Empire was also under a really good state during Manuel's reign as it will be like that for the last time in byzantine history for several decades at best after his rule. The Empire was still really respected during this time and had a good gravitas and respect, even though there was already some hints of its decay (mostly more involvement of italian cities in byzantines affaires).

Same family actually cousins with the anatolian seljuks (sultanate of rum) so it's business but no one than them. So you actually can make coalitions in europe gather armies together and march to jarusalem and levant but muslims or specifically turks can't? What kind a hypocrisy is that? Anatolian seljuks conquered anatolia till asian side of bosphorus at the northwest including nicea and nicomedia and smyrna aegean coastal at the west 60 years prior. Komnenos family gained most of the land back (komnenos restoration) but where was which boarder where is seljuk soil where is roman soil it is super hard to judge from today. You can't complain the diplomacy when you are on campaign with a crusader army marching through seljuk atabeg territory to suffer those people.

Many religious shifts and many philosophical and religious leaders among with the greatest military rulers. Also Anatolian Turks used old greek and persian writings/systems of governance/education in this period to an extent.

    The crusaders attacked Damascus from the west where the orchards would provide them with a constant food supply. They arrived in Darayya, a suburb of Damascus, on 23 July 1148. The Muslims, led by Saif ad-Din Ghazi I and Nur ad-Din, were constantly attacking the crusaders, pushing them back in the orchards where they were exposed. On 27 July, the crusaders moved to a field that was less fortified but also had less water and food available. When Nur ad-Din arrived at the same field it now became impossible for the crusaders to return to their better position. Local crusaders refused to carry on and the city was abandoned. Conrad III’s army was the first to retreat, the rest followed on 28 July. It was, however, not a smooth retreat as they were followed and harassed by Turkish archers on their way back to Jerusalem.

    I just want to point out that the Crusaders during the Second Crusade never numbered more than a 100,000 yet were able to completely control all of Palestine/Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon. They also controlled Western Syria and parts of Turkey.
