"This map shows the main routes taken by those who joined the [First Crusade](https://www.worldhistory.org/First_Crusade/). The appeal was made by Pope Urban II in November 1095 CE but crusaders did not set out until the following summer. One route went through Hungary crossing the [Byzantine](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Byzantine/) frontier at Belgrade then through the Balkans. The other route took crusaders down through [Italy](https://www.worldhistory.org/italy/) crossing by sea from Bari to Dyrrachion and then to [Constantinople](https://www.worldhistory.org/Constantinople/) by land."
