Worth noting that one of those crusades you mention briefly managed to go not south but north and kill a whole fuckload of Jews in 1096, perhaps simply through some fated magnetic attraction wherein no one in Europe could do anything without slaughtering some Jews first. Then they stuck the darkly funny name "German Crusade" on it and went to Jerusalem.
