Section A
Answer Question 01.
Extract A
The Crusader States were the result of religious enthusiasm in the West. Many pilgrims
rushed to Outremer as soon as the capture of Jerusalem in 1099 became known. Nowhere
else were there so many sites so important to Christians, nor was there a better place to end
one’s days. They did not come alone because the people who hoped to
survive on the charity of pilgrims and the institutions created to help them also went. 5 During
the summer, the ports of Jaffa, Acre and Tyre, were heaving with visitors from Western
Europe, who came not as outsiders, but as fellow Christians who saw the holy places as
their responsibility.

century. Reading Medieval Studies, XXXVI, 2010
Extract B
Several different explanations exist for the success of the crusaders. Firstly, they were
able to win several major battles due to their heavy cavalry. Bohemond of Taranto was
also a very effective commander. He commanded the army when it had to fight major
battles. Adaptation was also a key reason. The crusaders had never fought the Turks
before who used hit and run warfare. The crusaders adapted their tactics by marching at 5
night and using infantry to shield their cavalry. Furthermore, religion played a role,
keeping morale high. This provided an incentive to see their task through even though
some deserted. Finally, not all they met were hostile, for example, the Armenians, the
Byzantines and even some Muslims in the East.
Adapted from N Morton, The First Crusade, 1095–99 – Why did the First Crusade
Succeed?, 2018
0 1 With reference to these extracts and your understanding of the historical context, which
of these two extracts provides the more convincing interpretation of why the Crusader
States were established between 1099 and 1120?
