An illustration of the Battle of Dorylaeum during the First Crusade. The Crusaders greatly outnumbered the Seljuk Turks, approximately 50,000 to 6,000. This advantage in numbers gave the Crusaders the victory, even though the Turks had far superior fighting abilities. 7,000 men lay dead after the battle; 4,000 Christians and 3,000 Muslims. This battle took place on July 1, 1097.
