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. Since each document…

Koran’s teachings, including the mention of Muhammad in the famous poem Dante’s Inferno. By the twelfth and thirteenth century the anti-Muslim concept was fully accepted. By then the negative Islamic stereotype was etched in everyone’s mind. The crusaders…

B) 1) Murad II- Murad II was the first of the four Sultans, who helped expand the Ottoman Empire. He defeated the Venetians, invaded Hungary, and emerged triumphant over an army of Italian crusaders in the Balkans. Mehmed II- Mehmed II conquered Constantinople, which was huge, as it became a powerful city once more.

Anymore movies are knockoffs of already previously written books, comics, or already shown movies. Very few movies are original anymore. Now some of those movies are not half bad. Some have actually become popular such as Batman Vs. Superman, Hungergames, and Divergent. Even though they are knockoffs of the original work; the movies become off the chart hits. One of those movies that have become timeless to people, and me, is the movie called The Help. The Help is a movie set in the time of…

In the movie “Kingdom of Heaven” Hollywood has done what it does best, portray some scenes that are not quite historically correct. The battle scenes and the training scenes were quite splendid! But I'm not going to say that everything was historically correct. But maybe that's why there are so many historical incorrections, to make the movie more interesting and appealing to the eyes of its audience. Even if you aren’t a “history buff”, you would probably still notice some of the historical…

The anti-Semitic attitudes of French leaders also influenced the passing of anti-Semitic legislation. According to Judt, anti-Semitism was fashionable in the 1930s and French leaders carried this attitude into the German occupation. The Jews placed their trust in individuals such as Danecker, Darlan, Vallet, Laval, and Petan yet all these men exhibited anti-Semitic views and used them as a moral justification to implement legislation against the Jews. Helene Berr writes about this betrayal when…

Over the past two centuries, Europe’s grasp on the world has strengthened and tightened increasingly, the “Western” influence becoming one that is looming and inevitable. Europe’s pre-eminence emerged almost accidentally, the product of an incidental group of conditions in the world economic system that Europe and America were able to properly exploit. This western influence that they exhibited was one that gleamed of new technologies and modernization, expecting the eastern world to quickly…

Pair Four: Senufo Equestrian, wood, (19 century) [Location: British Museum] and Equestrian Portrait of Charlemagne, bronze (9 century) [Location: Louvre, Paris] When art is from two different time period and two different cultures it is thought that the two pieces when compared would not have much in common. However, that is hardly ever the case; they can have similaries in meanings and cultural significance. With the help of the readings from “Icon” and “Art Through the Ages”, along with the…

The extract from Anna Comnena’s ‘Alexiad’ is a valuable piece of primary evidence when studying the First Crusade, giving a thorough account of events from the Eastern Christian perspective. However, it can be argued that despite its detail, the passage may depict an inaccurate narrative of events. This is due to its adulation of Alexius and disparagement of the Franks. This suggests an underlying purpose to glorify the emperor. Therefore, the source is useful in discerning how the conquest was…
