What city did Louis VII unsuccessfully try to siege?
Jerusalem
Antioch
Damascus
Bethlehem
Answer
In the context of the Crusades, Damascus was a key target for the European Christian forces led by King Louis VII of France in the 12th century. Despite extensive preparations, the siege of Damascus ultimately failed due to the city's strong fortifications, the internal conflicts within the Crusader forces, and the effective defense strategies employed by the Muslim garrison and its leader, Mujir ad-Din Abaq.
