New map

I'd like to add a freely-licensed map showing where the participants on the First Crusade came from.

It's the outcome of a project that's discussed here

Lacking military discipline, in what likely seemed to the participants a strange land (Eastern Europe), Peter's fledgling army quickly found itself in trouble despite the fact they were still in Christian territory.[36] The army led by Walter fought with the Hungarians over food at Belgrade,


Austria, Hungary, Serbia etc. are not Eastern Europe, unless you define that as everything that is not Western Europe (aka the NW corner of the continent with Italy and Iberia). The second sentence is a downplaying of events. The Hungarians (Christians) in Zemun were massacred and Belgrade residents (also Christians) fled and both cities were burned down by the crusaders as is stated on the People's Crusade page.

Remove the apologetics, pilgrims regularly passed through this "strange land" earlier on their way to Jerusalem. Change "in what likely seemed to the participants a strange land (Eastern Europe)," to "being outside their lands of origin, Peter's army" or something like that. Add that Zemun and Belgrade were burned down and Christians in at least Zemun were massacred. 78.2.116.124 (talk) 23:16, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Byzantine-Seljuk map mistakes

1025 and 1081 should be swapped, and did they still hold southern Italy by 1081? Compoteleon (talk) 22:40, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
