{{wp|Pope Gregory VII}} first preached the Reconquest of Sarpedon's lost lands in 1084 as a "Christian emergency." One of the first to answer the call of arms was the [[Emperor of the Levantines]], [[Saint Charles II|Carles II]]. His recruiting and campaigning efforts resulted in his canonization and veneration as a Catholic saint in 1297. The initial Crusades included large scale campaigns on Sarpedon's mainland which were largely unsuccessful but victorious in taking the [[Odouneru Ocean]] and [[Sea of Istroya]] islands which connected the Caliphate to its possessions and dependencies in [[Sarpedon]]. Some of the lands taken during the first [[Crusade]] included [[Halfway]], [[Herciana]], and parts of modern [[Thessia]], though Caliphal armies were undefeated in the field and these lands were largely possessions of independent adventurers and were Caliphal tributaries. Several Crusader states were established in these lands, most prominently the [[Principality of Halfway]]. Despite being inherited by [[House de Weluta]] of [[Urcea ]]in 1474, the Principality was mostly left to govern its own affairs until it was folded into the [[Kingdom of Crotona]] in 1660. Existing for nearly half a millennia, the Principality's legacy survives through today; the title of the heir to the Apostolic King of Urcea is ''[[Prince of Halfway]]'', indicating the high esteem placed on the long lasting Crusader state. | {{wp|Pope Gregory VII}} first preached the Reconquest of Sarpedon's lost lands in 1084 as a "Christian emergency." One of the first to answer the call of arms was the [[Emperor of the Levantines]], [[Saint Charles II|Carles II]]. His recruiting and campaigning efforts resulted in his canonization and veneration as a Catholic saint in 1297. The initial Crusades included large scale campaigns on Sarpedon's mainland which were largely unsuccessful but victorious in taking the [[Odouneru Ocean]] and [[Sea of Istroya]] islands which connected the Caliphate to its possessions and dependencies in [[Sarpedon]]. The primary success was in the Crusade's preliminary operation. Emperor Carles II dispatched the crusader Guy of Idalè to take the island of [[Halfway]] which would serve as a staging ground for the full Crusader force from Levantia. Accordingly, Count Guy invaded Halfway in mid [[1084]] and, following a yearlong campaign, subdued the island and established the [[Principality of Halfway]] in [[1085]]. The crusader army then began to gather on the island and, after some logistical difficulties, crossed over to [[Sarpedon]] in [[1086]]. The army failed to defeat a Caliphal army but nonetheless took enough major cities and garrisons in [[Thessia]] and [[Herciana]] to secure a favorable peace. Though the peace was far short of resolving the "Christian emergency" and liberating the continent from the Caliphate, it nonetheless proved the viability of the crusading idea and provided a staging point for future conflicts. | ||

Many scholars consider the Audonian Crusades as a continuation of the Crusades in Sarpedon, as its driving power was following up on the successes of the Levantine Catholic forces against Islamic holdings in southern Sarpedon. While largely ineffective, a remaining legacy was the establishment of a Catholic Crusader state in [[Antilles]]. | Many scholars consider the Audonian Crusades as a continuation of the Crusades in Sarpedon, as its driving power was following up on the successes of the Levantine Catholic forces against Islamic holdings in southern Sarpedon.

Historians are divided on whether or not the Levantine campaign in Khaza could be considered part of the Crusades. Most correspondence indicates the intention of supporting the native Jewish rebellions as part of a broader strategic vision of creating a buffer zone against the Caliphate on the coast of the [[Sea of Istroya]]. As mentioned, these efforts were largely in support of Jewish rebels, and the creation of a longterm Crusader state in the region was deemed to be unfeasible and undesirable, which in part explains the lack of unity and motivation among the crusaders. A majority of historians do include the campaign within the Crusades because it supported the overall strategic efforts of the Crusade even if the establishment of Christian rule was not among its chief objectives. | Historians are divided on whether or not the Levantine campaign in Khaza could be considered part of the Crusades.
