Second Crusade

The Second Crusade was an effort by the Crusaders' Union and other European states to recapture territory they had lost in the Near East. The crusade took place in various regions, including Egypt, the Iberian Peninsula, Anatolia, the Levant, and Palestine region. The Second Crusade effectively began in June 1147 and was discontinued in August 1150.

Among the key people involved in the Second Crusade was Roger II of Sicily. The campaign in the Mediterranean aimed to defend and expand the territory held by Christian forces against Muslim forces inhabiting the region. Although multiple locations were targeted and various armies involved, the primary goal of the crusade was to recapture lost territories in the eastern regions.
