Third Crusade

In order to investigate how the expansion and approval of the Mongolian Empire and the customs of its conquered countries came to change Mongolian culture, what must be analyzed is the influence of fear that the Mongolians displayed to all their enemies, the effectiveness of trade and economics thanks to new roads and connections with businesses, and the growing community of the Mongolian society with the association of many ethnicities. When Genghis Khan united the Steppes Tribes, his military…

A key pillar to the Roman Catholic Church are its Saints. Saints are men and women who are recognized by the Church to have had an exceptional degree of holiness or likeness to God and or Christ. There are many hundreds of Saints within both the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church and Coptic Churches. The writing of the history and great acts of saints is called a Hagiography, literally meaning sacred writing. Of the many hundreds of saints, a few stand out in the history, Saints like…

metres, a longbow arrow penetrated over one inch of solid oak – more than sufficient power to penetrate the armour worn by soldiers” (historylearningsite). But little do you know, that the longbow wasn’t even used in Jerusalem until after the second crusades took place. Supposedly the longbow was created in Wales and shortly after moved its way to England. So guess what that means, they didn't have these longbows back then to use in “Kingdom of Heaven.” Hollywood just saw it and was like, heck…

cities during the Crusades like; Jerusalem, Egypt, Syria and other Middle Eastern cities. During the Crusade time period (1099-1291) the Muslims succeeded in driving the Crusaders from the Middle East, even though they also lost lands on the Iberian Peninsula. They needed a new leader because the Muslims were not very strong and did not know how to defend themselves along with Islam, that is where Salah al-Din came in. Salah al-Din was the greatest Muslim leader during the Crusades. His…

directly controlled by Sennacherib. In it, he tells a story in some ways kindred to that of the Bible in which during the night thousands of mice masticated through the Assyrians’ bow strings and render their army useless when the sun elevates. This third story further perplexes the matter more because the angel of Yahweh was supposed to have struck the army besieging Jerusalem not Egypt. It’s very weird how one siege sought to have other terminuses. It’s near infeasible to decide which side was…

The movie Kingdom Of Heaven is based in Jerusalem in 1184. During this time Jerusalem had a population greater than any European city, and had enormous cross culture significance;Judaic, Muslim, and Christian holy sites coexisted, side by side. Each believed they had a right to control Jerusalem. Peace in Jerusalem, at this time, seemed impossible. The film depicts the fight for Jerusalem in 1187 from the Christian side of the war and focuses on the political unrest of the religion. Three…

Crusades: During and after (first-third crusade, crusaders after it) The first Crusade began in 1095, the pope called for all. Whether it be a peasant, knight, serf or criminal. The crusades needed all for the name of christ and glory! This and the promise the church and god would forgive all sin done by the knights. This made people from all over Europe to flock to the church to sign up as a crusader. This bolstered the number of the christians crusaders to invade and conquer the “Holy” lands.…

started the First Crusades, I had to narrow my attention towards four central instigators, because a general agreement among historians- in the resources I utilized- occurred around these four vital reasons that started the war. The reasons behind the timing of the First Crusades are these major points: Islamic encroachment into the Byzantium Empire, past treatment of Christians in the Middle East, Christian duty, and Islamic disunity. The primary reason that started the First Crusades was the…

2014 The Crusades The Crusades were a series of bloody wars during the middle ages where the Christians of Europe tried to retake control of Jerusalem. In Christianity, the crusades were expeditions of Christian Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries for the recovery of the holy land (Chrisholm 44). They were a time of religion, war and religious war leaders. Crusaders were brutal people mostly made up of young, old and poor people. Historians have estimated that there were seven crusades total…

land from Islamic control. Christians referred to them as the “Holy crusades”; otherwise known as the crusades to historians. In November of 1095, the first Crusade began in response to Pope Urban II urging Christians to take back their Holy Land of Palestine out of the control of the Muslim Turks. This was the start of what would become known as the Crusades. After the first crusade, many more occurred as well. The Third Crusade resulted from the Muslim ruler Saladin’s efforts to recapture…
