    The speech at the Council of Clermont by pope Urban II was the defining moment in Crusades ideology, creating the foundation for the first large scale Crusades to take place. With the newly found five accounts of the Council I’ll try to paint an accurate picture as possible of what exactly occurred. There is no official transcript from pope Urban II; instead these documents provide first hand accounts of what occurred. Whether they are reliable or not is another matter.

    and cruelty of raging tigers.” I think that this passage is important because of how elegant it makes a horrific battle sound. While I do believe that religion was a key role in the Battle of Poitiers, it’s also important to note that the battle was for an establishment of Frankish power throughout Western Europe. This is a perfect example of how a war that was really about power, was made to look like a war fought for religion. A speech given at Clermont in 1095 by Pope Urban II is one of the…

    times, was counterproductive and actually strengthened Finucane’s points occasionally. Therefore, I would concede that the primary motivation behind the Crusades was not religious. Initiation of the Crusades was due to increasingly turbulent relations between Christians and Muslims, economic development, trade route control, and others, which were all selfishly motivated. The Council of Clermont in 1095, allowed Pope Urban II to be the catalyst who stirred the furor within people all…

    The First Crusade began in 1096 after Pope Urban II’s speech at the Council of Clermont in 1095. One version of Urban’s Speech at Clermont was recorded by Fulcher de Chartes, a priest who also participated in the Crusades. While this version of Pope Urban II’s speech is one of the more reliable sources of the said speech, there is still a great chance for bias especially as Fulcher de Chartes was a crusader himself. This one speech, whether or not it was an accurate recording of what Pope Urban…

We walked the rest of the way in the unpredicted humid May weather. The building was refreshingly cool; the inside was presented in a sophisticated manner. I could not help but feel out of place in my…
