Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem (1099-1187). The unruly Crusaders, however, created almost as many problems as they solved. Many of them were driven less by religious and idealistic reasons, than by the desire to enrich themselves in the lands of the “Golden Orient.” A sizable portion of them were simply unprincipled and undisciplined soldiers-of-fortune, who pillaged, robbed and destroyed wherever they went. Thus, King Coloman was forced to disperse a number of these unruly bands of “Crusaders,” and he simply refused to allow others to enter into Hungary. Those that eventually crossed the country, created much havoc, notwithstanding Coloman’s efforts to contain them with his armed forces. Thus, just before leaving Southern Hungary, Peter the Hermit’s “Crusaders” sacked the town of Zemlen (Sémiin) across from Belgrade. In doing so, they killed over four thousand of the town’s Magyar inhabitants, and then, “terrified of the vengeance of the Hungarian king, they made all haste to cross the river Save,” and get out of the country. (Runciman: Crusades, I, 124.) After this experience, Hungarian rulers were generally reluctant to permit the crusaders to cross their country. Thus, even the highly respected Godfrey of Bouillon was permitted to cross only after handing his brother Baudoin, together with his family, as hostages over to King Coloman. The experiences of the Byzantines with the Crusaders were even worse. And the only reason why they tolerated these unruly “barbarians from the West” was because the latter’s victories also brought certain benefits to Byzantium. Even so the Crusades opened up a whole new world to medieval Europe. And the influences of this new world were also felt in Hungary, bringing new ideas and new possibilities to the land of the Magyars. The common problems faced by the two neighboring states as a result of the Crusades also brought Hungary and Byzantium closer together. And although — similarly to the Holy Roman Empire — Byzantium never relinquished the thought of extending her control over Hungary, they managed to coexist with only minimal conflicts between them. The rise of Irene’s son, Manuel, to the Byzantine throne in 1143, however, altered the situation considerably. Being a man of great vision, this grandson of St. Ladislas was hoping to renew the strength of his empire by uniting the two lands of his two grandfathers. And in light of Hungary’s protracted internal difficulties during the half century following Coloman’s death, Manuel’s goal did not even seem so unattainable. 105
