Outline for the Crusade Project

So after fully completing my project's research on the crusades, I have decided that I am going to do the first, third, fourth, and fifth crusades. I chose the first one because it is really the only truely sucessful crusade in which they are able to capture Jerusalem but there are also interesting details in how they got to that point, including Peter the Hermit's untrained ragtag army.  The third crusade seemed interesting because the Muslims are able to retrieve Jerusalem with the help of Saladin and disunite the crusades a bit. I picked the fourth crusade because it includes the ruthless sack of Constantinople. Lastly, I liked the fifth crusade because they attacked Egypt, which definitely sparked some hostile attitudes among the Muslims.
