My loyal vassals, Pope Urban II has given us a challenge. A new group of muslims had conquered the Holy Land. They do not let our people go there on pilgrimages. They also are threatening our ally, the byzantine empire. Even though they split our church, we should find it in our hearts to help them. The Pope has challenged us to stop fighting among ourselves, but to fight our common enemy. It is our right to visit our shrines and the muslims took it away. The Pope is assembling and army to go on a crusade. I believe this is a calling from god to serve him. These muslims are nonbelievers and deserve to be fought. This war will also have many rewards to all who come! We have decided to free all men who fight from taxes. God will also favor you
