Part 9 of the First Crusade series looks at the first major military action of the Crusade: the assault on Nicaea, led by Raymond IV of Toulouse, Go dfrey of Bouillon, and Bohemond of Taranto. The Crusaders face the powerful Seljuk Turks led by Kilij Arslan, the Sultan of Rum. If they succeed, they'll win back Nicaea for Alexius Comnenus, ruler of the Byzantine Empire, and open the way to the march on the Holy Sepulcher.
