Jerusalem
Antioch
Edessa

Answer
Godfrey of Bouillon became the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, established after the successful capture of the city during the First Crusade in 1099. It marked a significant milestone in the history of the Crusades, with Godfrey assuming the title of "Advocatus Sancti Sepulchri" (Protector of the Holy Sepulchre) rather than King due to religious sensitivities.
