Which coastal city did Baldwin I NOT capture?
Tyre
Arsuf
Caesarea
Sidon
Answer
Tyre was the only coastal city that eluded Baldwin I's conquests during the First Crusade. While he successfully captured other major cities such as Jerusalem, Antioch, and Edessa, Tyre remained under the control of the Fatimid Caliphate throughout his reign. This was due in part to the city's strong fortifications and its strategic location on a peninsula, making it difficult for Baldwin's forces to launch a sustained siege.
