Why did the Second Crusade fail?
- Strained Relationship with Manuel I
- Conrad's relationship with
Manuel came under strain when
Conrad's forces began their
march through Hungary and the
Byzantine Empire to
Constantinople.
- This was because Manuel had
the Byzantine army,
commanded by Prosuch, follow
the Germans in order to prevent
any efforts to capture territory.

- Manuel I and Louis VII was
somewhat more strained
because of the latter's
close association with
Roger of Sicily.
- This was partly a result
of Roger's Norman
origins, but mainly
because Roger and
Louis had originally
planned to crusade
together.

- The German Campaign 1147-1148
- Conrad's overconfidence
caused for his plans not to
work quite as he had hoped.
- He believed they could acquire
supplies as they travelled, but
they struggled to do so because
Manuel actually had little
control of the area they
journeyed through.

- The French Campaign 1147-1148
- The first major problem
was logistics, the French
were extremely short of
supplies
- The army came under intense
pressure, the main body of
the army survived due to the
Templars, but Louis's
reputation was damaged

- The Antioch Plan
- Prince Raymond of
Antioch made a military
proposal to Louis,
alongside the nobles of
Antioch, in May 1148.
- His plan was that the
crusaders could help to
capture Aleppo and
Shaizar, which would
neutralise the Muslim
threat to Antioch in the
north.
- However, Louis
much to Raymond's
chagrin, rejected the
plan out of hand.

- Failure to consult the leaders of the Crusader States
- Neither Conrad nor Louis
had consulted with the
leaders of Outremer in
advance of the Second
Crusade, which had several
negative effects in the course
of their campaign.

- The crusader's stated
goal was the
recapture of Edessa,
but this had been
completely
destroyed in 1146.
However, as late as
1148, Conrad wrote a
letter explaining his
intentions to take
Edessa, showing the
leaders in Outremer
that their objective
was unrealistic.
