Fine. Following preachers like Peter the Hermit, thousands of peasants and nobles alike volunteered for the first crusade. It got off to kind of a rough start because pilgrims kept robbing those they'd encounter along the way. Plus, there was no real leader, so there were constant rivalries between nobles about who could supply the most troops. Notable among the notables were Godfrey of Bullion, Bohemond of Toronto, and Raymond of Toulouse. But despite the rivalries and the disorganization, the crusaders were remarkably, some would say miraculously, successful. By the time they arrived in the Levant, they were fighting not against the Seljuq Turks, but against Fatimid Egyptians, who had captured the Holy Land from the Seljuqs, thereby making the Turks none too pleased with the Egyptians.
