“Deus Veult!"- God wills it! cried Pope Urban II’s audience in 1095 at The Council of Clermont. This Papal sanction supposedly initiated the beginning of the First Crusade; a holy war designed to recapture Jerusalem in August 1096. Byzantine Emperor of Constantinople; Alexios I Komnenos appealed to Urban to request aid to resist the Seljuk Turks who occupied Antolia and the majority of Asian Minor.

Before the time of the Crusades the Christians that lived had no arguments with the Muslims. Before the year 1200, 9 out of 10 people living in Europe were peasant farmers who had barely anything to live on (Biel). This meant that many of the people living in Crusading time were poor and had nothing. They didn’t have anything, but these men still went on the crusades. The royal people had all the wealth. However the noblemen and noble classes did not build their castles for luxury but more for…

Ultimately no particular religion “won”, but each religion is free to do as it pleases to this day.

THE FIRST CRUSADE The First Crusade was called in November 1095 by Pope Urban II at the town of Clermont in central France. The pope made a proposal: 'Whoever for devotion alone, but not to gain honor or money, goes to Jerusalem to liberate the Church of God can substitute this journey for all penance.' This appeal was the combination of a number of contemporary trends along with the inspiration of Urban himself, who added particular innovations to the mix. For several decades Christians had…

The Crusades were holy wars fought between Christians in Europe and Muslims in the Middle East. The key goal of the wars was to take control of Jerusalem and away from the Muslims, but there were other reasons why European knights and other people wanted to fight.
