Ludolf of Tournai or Letholdus was the first Christian knight over the walls of Jerusalem during the siege of Jerusalem of 1099, essentially ending the First Crusade, according to a contemporary account by an unknown eyewitness.[1][2] It is said that when the Muslims saw Ludolf emerge over the walls, many of them began to retreat further into Jerusalem.[3]
